Reviews / Votes
The book appears very comprehensive and thorough. I like the updates, particularly with regard to issues with social media and modern technology. I also like that the book seems to be starting to emphasize HR analyticsEL I like the use of course packets, but they are a lot of work and effort. I also would like something that dealt with terms and big issues before I covered it in class, so I am reconsidering my use of course packets.--Michael C. Sturman, Cornell University
"It is a well-prepared and content-rich textbook. It addresses the current state of HR--including the strategic need for HR, important role of HR in the organization, and the influences both internal and external which drive HR practice. This edition recognizes the changing nature of HR and the external factors which influence and impact HR practice."
--Kevin J. Jones, Indiana University
[The book] does a proper job of covering the whole HRM function. As to the proposed revisions and new "current issues" features, some are especially excellent...I do like that most of them reflect either qualitative improvements or trends that are truly broad and systematic, versus mere fads or narrowly applied.
--James M. Wilkerson, Charleston Southern University
"I have used the book for many years because of the integration of strategy and HR. It also provides students with an overview of the key areas within HR. It is challenging but accessible. I've been using it for years and will continue."--Mitchell Langbert, Brooklyn College School of Business
