Description
"HRM from A-Z" is an innovative, new offering for Human Resource Management classes from McGraw-Hill/Irwin. This inexpensive yet comprehensive supplemental text for the HRM course helps students focus on the practical application of theoretical approaches to HRM. It is a means to introduce practical application into HRM topic areas such as staffing, training and development, performance appraisal, and reward systems. "HRM from A-Z" is made up of two discrete yet complementary parts: Questions (where the major issue is defined) and Answers (where the suggested answer for the questions in the first part of the book are discussed.)
