a series of chapters by an international group of experts and knit together through themes and dialogues, it advances our understanding of the deeper meaning of changes in careers, and of the interrelationships and longer-term consequences of those changes.Readership: Academics, advanced undergraduates, and postgraduate students of business, in particular Human Resource Management, Personnel, and Industrial Relations; MBA students taking these compulsory courses; HR Managers, Training Professionals, and Career Consultants.
