* the influences of new technology, language, power, culture and gender upon the 'construction' of knowledge
* the impact of globalization

* practice and performance implications.
It's outlook, geared towards the 21st century, makes it essential reading for researchers, teachers and students within HRM, policy-makers and all those concerned with professional development.
