Reviews / Votes
A well-structured book which covers the key aspects of HRM. It provides a good introduction to what HRM is all about, including its context, practice and contemporary issues. The book has done remarkably well in presenting key concepts through simple, concise, coherent and critical discussions. Very suitable for first/second year undergraduate students who are introduced to the subject for the first time. -- Mahwish KhanMore details
