Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The variety of activities allows the professor to pick and choose cases depending on topic, time, type of students, or prior use. This is a strong point to this text."
"I have used this text, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels for numerous terms. The length of the case allows for the breadth of coverage, inferential thinking and analysis of consequences of actions. I also like that several cases allow for students to think outside of the box. While I do not have sufficient time to use most of the cases, most of the cases are exceedingly useful."
"I feel that this is the best case book for HRM available … I plan on continuing to use the book in the future and have no plans on changing. I feel the authors have put a lot of effort and work into the text and appreciate its availability."
"This text is useful to the students. It is the bridge between theory and practice. Students often perceive that theory has not use beyond the classroom. Your textbook provides the occasion to apply theory to real workplace problems. It also offers students the opportunity for collaborative work as well so that they can work as a team solving a problem. Because the cases, exercises, and other activities are based on real work situations, the students gain practical experience in using HR concepts and principles. Beyond the pedagogic component, students enjoy the applications. They become spirited and lively, especially in role play exercises. They develop insights through the simulations. The textbook is useful to the instructor on many levels. It is well organized and the material is just superior to what is out there in the marketplace."
