Where's the Beef???,
By A Customer
This review is from: Human Resource Management (Hardcover)
I use this text in a college course I teach and I would give it less than a C. The authors attempt to cover a wide range of material, but they fail to correctly present critical material even when informed of their mistakes. The book does contain links to useful web sites and is current on many of its topics. However, on the subject of diversity and EEO - they need to stick to the facts and not what will sell books. Too many errors for a text this costly.

This review is from: Human Resource Management (Hardcover)
The book was on time. Because it is an older edition it was a little worn. However, I cannot complain because of the cheap price.

This review is from: Human Resource Management (Hardcover)
Mathis and Jackson are tops in my book! If you're studying for the PHR or the SPHR certification examination, this is a "must read"!
