Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Human Resource Development was written primarily to serve as a comprehensive text for undergraduate and graduate courses that prepare students to train and develop people. As such, the book covers the entire field of HRD (as defined by the American Society for Training and Development’s competency study), from orientation and skills training, to career development and organizational development. Human Resource Development provides a clear understanding of the concepts, processes, and practices that form the basis of success, and shows how concepts and theory can and have been put into practice in a variety of organizations. The book focuses on the shared role of line management and human resource specialists in HRD. It also reflects the current state of the field, blending real-world practices and up-to-date research.

2.0 out of 5 stars HR Development, September 14, 2007
This textbook has some good information, but it is wordy and redundant in spots. Some topics have more detail than what is needed in the real world. Chapters are too long. Make these edits, enlarge the print, and the textbook would be a better product.

2.0 out of 5 stars HR text review, October 30, 2008
By Tracee (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
I was very disappointed with this product. First of all it did not have the hardcover that was shown when placing my order. It came in a solid baby blue cover instead of the rock patterned cover shown in this review. The book binding is really bad. You can see the strings that are running through the book pages and it is not held to the book cover except on the flat sides. I have to really push down to see the full page when I have the book open and am trying to read. The text is the same as my other classmates, but the cover and binding are not good.
