The book covered a lot of ground. I believe it offered a lot of insight into the world of human resources, primarily, the challenges faced by HR today. Some highlights were the concept of valuing human assets, the implications of globalization, federal regulations, the importance of well-designed and applicable feedback systems, employee separation and compensation. Overall, it was a fairly easy read. I would recommend this book to professors, students, and entrepreneurs.

I have bought two books,each of them arrived at my hand in 5 days after I clicked the mouse,include one book was mailed from Thailand.

I received the wrong edition. I ordered the 2nd Edition, but got the 3rd edition

This book is great, but at the same time it is extremely wordy. It would be nice if it had more examples, case studies, charts and graphs rather than mostly words to convey messages. Personally, I am more of a visual person, so for me, this is over the top.

The provider sent this out immediately - I thought I might not get the book in time for class but it was at my home in just a few days. I give the provider 5 stars for efficiency and timely delivery. I wasn't expecting the book to come from a company in Maylasia. The only problem that I've discovered in the book - and I have not asked classmates if their book has this - but there were quite a few typos in the book. Since these go through substantial editing, I wasn't sure if I had gotten a copy of the final version of the book.

This is a great textbook for the instructor that wants to focus on HR strategy. Practically the entire first half of the book deal with strategic issues. My only concern however is that it is woefully out of date - four years old - and some of the materials show it! I have used this text for several years in graduate classes that I teach.

I like the short chapters and the related articles in the back. I also find the various inserts of real-life examples good for comprehending some of the heady jargon that isn't so obvious.

The condition of the book was listed as new but it definitely was not. There were highlights and markings throughout the book. It was actually in good condition but like I said, definitely not new.
