This review is from: Readings and Cases in International Human Resources Management (Paperback)

The book provides case studies reflecting various complexities in internation HR field, however most examples are not recent enough to guide students with newer ideas associated with HR. This book is definately not for keeps.

This review is from: Readings and Cases in International Human Resources Management (Paperback)

The product was exactly as advertised at a great price. I needed this book for an International Human Resources class and it was shipped and received well before we started using it in class. The book is in perfect condition with no markings and looks like it came right off the shelf in a bookstore.
