Strategic Compensation and Talent Management

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This is the best book on compensation I have seen. It should be read by executives, not just compensation specialists. It provides a fresh and highly useful perspective, showing how the causes and effects of compensation reflect the underlying dynamics of the labor market. And - unlike most compensation books - the writing is engaging, with a rich set of real-world examples.' Michael Gibbs, University of Chicago 'If your job requires managing people - and whose job does not? - then this book is an essential resource. The academic literature has made great strides in recent years in better understanding what goes on inside the 'Black Box', and this book encapsulates the key lessons for managers focused on recruitment, retention, and compensation of a highly skilled workforce.' Michael Waldman, Cornell University 'This book marks a coming-of-age for personnel economics. It is comprehensive, authoritative, engaging, and accessible to practitioners, students, and academics alike. I will be recommending it to my students as a must-read.' Alex Bryson, University College London 'This text provides an excellent introduction to compensation, talent management, and HR analytics for MBA and other business students. It applies economic principles to real-world problems and is written in an easily accessible, conversational style.' Tor Eriksson, Aarhus University 'Strategic Compensation and Talent Management gets to the heart of what compensation is really about: attracting, retaining, and motivating the people who accomplish an organization's goals. DeVaro uses economics to give students of compensation an intellectual foundation, then builds upon this with references to a wide range of vignettes and case studies. This approach should benefit advanced undergraduates, master's students, and even compensation practitioners who want to see the forest through the trees.' Alan Benson, University of Minnesota '... an excellent example of how to write for amanagement audience, drawing on key concepts in economics, management, psychology and organizational behaviour while avoiding all the jargon and technical detail.'
