PREFACE TO
THIRD EDITION
It is by the grace of the Almighty Allah that we have become
successful to bring out the current edition of this book in order to meet the
growing needs of the learners-students, teachers, professional managers
and general readers.

With the growing recognition of the importance of Human Resource


Management (HRM) in the context of modern managerial complexities,
the Universities all over the world have been offering courses in this area
of business education.

Since the publication of its first edition in 2007 the book has been in
good demand throughout the country but there has been increasing
pressures from the side of the colleagues to make it more comprehensive
in scope so that the syllabus of most of the universities of the country is
covered. This prompted the author to add some chapters under the second
part of the book titled. "Industrial Relations" in the second edition in
2008.

In the current edition, three new chapters titled, 'Comparative


Industrial Relations'. "Employee Grievances". "May Day and its Impact.'
have been added. Now, if the book proves useful to all those for whom it
is written, we will feel our efforts as worthwhile.

Dr. M.A. Taher, Professor and Chairman of the Department of


Management Studies, Chittagong University has participated as co-author
in this edition. We received ideas, information and suggestions from many
friends and authorities, for which we will remain ever grateful to them.

PREFACE TO
FIRST EDITION
With the blessings of Almighty Allah, this book titled Human
Resource Management has ultimately found the light of the day. My
respected teacher, late Professor Al. Habibullah inspired me to write a text
book on this topic and he also contributed his ideas and view-points, both
oral and written, as tokens of inspiration to me for taking the initiative. His
sad demise oil 7, 2004 discouraged me so much that I left the
idea of preparing the manuscript in its proper form. A few months after I
felt it a necessity to restart the effort as a mark of deep respect towards the
wishes of my great teacher.
Our aim was to do the work jointly in such a way as to ensure its
required quality and acceptability to the readers in general and students in
particular. But perhaps Allah. the almighty did not like to allow it happen
so.
I could not make enough time to develop the manuscript in its
expected form. However, some research works, published articles and
standard text books have been extensively studied and used for the
purpose.
There is a plan to improve the book considerably in its next edition and
for that matter constructive suggestions from the respected colleagues and
general readers are welcome. Relevant examples and also proper case
studies from our context will be incorporated in each and every chapter.
We will feel rewarded if the students, for whom the book is meant
primarily, find it useful.
Abir Publications authority has done a real good job by taking steps to
publish the book at a time when there is a severe scarcity of printing
materials including paper as also several other universal disincentives to
publish text books such as fear of piracy by unscrupulous persons.
May Allah bless us all!

The contribution of multiple professors to the book greatly enhances both its depth and breadth. With Dr. M.A. Taher participating as a co-author, the book benefits from diverse academic perspectives and shared expertise, which enriches the content quality and ensures a comprehensive exploration of HRM and industrial relations. This collaborative approach likely leads to a more balanced and thorough treatment of topics, meeting the varied needs of its intended academic audience .

The authors plan to enhance future editions of the book by incorporating relevant examples and case studies specific to their context, which will provide practical insights and strengthen the text's applicability for students. Constructive suggestions from colleagues and readers are also welcomed to refine its content, indicating a commitment to continuously improving educational impact .

The preface to the first edition reveals the author's motivations tied to fulfilling the late Professor Al. Habibullah's encouragement and the necessity to provide a quality resource for students and professionals. It also highlights the challenges faced, including the emotional impact of the professor's passing and logistical constraints such as time and material scarcity, which impeded the manuscript's initial development .

Continuous updates to the book's editions play a crucial role in maintaining its relevance by addressing evolving academic standards, integrating new research, and expanding content to align with the changing curricula demands. Regular updates ensure the material stays current with industry practices and theoretical advancements, which is essential for its adoption in university programs .

The inclusion of chapters such as 'Comparative Industrial Relations' and 'Employee Grievances' enhances the educational value of the Human Resource Management book by broadening its scope and ensuring it covers all relevant aspects of HRM and industrial relations, as demanded by the university curricula in Bangladesh. These additional chapters not only provide a more comprehensive understanding of HRM complexities but also ensure the book remains relevant and useful for both students and professionals in the field .

Incorporating May Day into HRM literature enhances the understanding of labor rights by providing historical context and underscoring the significance of this day in advocating for workers' rights. It frames labor rights within broader socio-economic movements, highlighting HRM's role in balancing industrial requirements with employee well-being, thereby deepening readers' appreciation of the complexities in labor relations .

The dedication to Professor Al. Habibullah underscores the book's moral authority and academic integrity by acknowledging his contribution to its genesis and maintaining his vision for high-quality academic resources. It highlights the authors' respect for intellectual influences and reinforces the ethical commitment to the professor's inspiration, despite his passing before the manuscript's completion .

Acknowledging multiple contributors positively impacts the book's development process by fostering a collaborative environment that pulls in varied expert insights and constructive feedback. This collaboration enriches the manuscript's content, ensuring it meets educational needs while providing a broader range of perspectives, enhancing both its academic rigor and practical applicability .

The book addresses the challenges of publishing and distributing academic textbooks in Bangladesh by highlighting the scarcity of printing materials and the risk of piracy. The publisher, Abir Publications, has taken significant steps to mitigate these challenges by ensuring the continuation of publication despite these hurdles, reflecting the commitment towards overcoming logistical issues to make educational material accessible .

The publisher's proactive steps against piracy reflect broader challenges academic publishers face, highlighting the need for protective strategies to safeguard intellectual property. This situation illustrates the universal disincentives publishers encounter, such as the threat to revenue and authors’ intellectual contributions, compelling them to adopt measures ensuring profitability and integrity of academic works in challenging environments .
