3.0 out of 5 stars Not sufficiently oriented to managers' immediate problems, September 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Human Resource Management: A Customer-Oriented Approach (Paperback)
Authors have done something different with their involvment of the student with the text through the "feedback exercises". These are not only fun, but provide fine topics for class discussion. I found the text did not get into the nitty-gritty problems confronting small business managers or chain unit managers. A usable text book, but the instructor had better bring a wealth of practical experience to the party.
