This review is from: The Brave New World of e-HR : Human Resources in the Digital Age (Hardcover)

This is an easy to read book. Has a lot of practical and useable information for Human Resources people. It is not overly technical so the average person can get a lot of great information but it also has good information for people in the IT world needing to implement an HRIS. Overall its a good book for all HR people to have as a resource. Technology is changing HR so this book will help HR people focus on the relevant issues for their specific organization.

This review is from: The Brave New World of e-HR : Human Resources in the Digital Age (Hardcover)

This book was okay. It was needed for class. I skipped a lot of pages because it gets drawn out at some points.

This review is from: The Brave New World of e-HR : Human Resources in the Digital Age (Hardcover)

The product is ok, what I needed. However, the shipper lied about when it was shipped. I have proof from the post office. Edouardo Sales.

I phoned and cancelled and cancelled through Amazon because my mother reordered through Amazon and got overnight delivery. When the other book finally arrived, it was sent back to the post office. Still no refund to my account. Don't buy from Amazon unless it comes directly from them, not an individual seller.
