Wayne Cascio's "Managing Human Resources, 8e" is perfect for the general management student whose job inevitably will involve responsibility for managing people. It explicitly links the relationship between productivity, quality of work life, and profits to various human resource management activities and as such, strengthens the students' perception of human resource management as an important function, which affects individuals, organizations, and society. It is research-based and contains strong links to the applicability of this research to real business situations.

This review is from: Managing Human Resources (Paperback)
Bought this book for one of my classes, when I got it I was nervous it would be different from the US edition. All my worries were put to rest because this book worked perfect with my class. No complications at all with page numbers or problems.

Excellent HR text,

This review is from: Managing Human Resources (Hardcover)
This is a well-written, clear, and practical text that covers all major areas of human resource management. It includes real-world examples and case studies that demonstrate clearly the topic at hand. Unlike many business texts, this one also addresses the perspectives of small businesses (which comprise over 90% of US businesses--why is this area so neglected?). Another big plus is that Managing Human Resources puts HR management into the context of the wider business objectives, integrating it with overall competitive strategies rather than separating the HR function from finance, marketing, or operations.
Easy to read, timely, informative, and taking an approach that is integrated with the broader business strategy...everything a useful text should be.
