Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This authoritative text appeals to upper-level students, practicing managers, and HRM professionals who require a thorough grasp of the field's essential functional areas as well as emerging trends. Drawing on their extensive experience teaching abroad, the authors introduce international issues in the very first chapter and provide ongoing discusion throughout the text. Similarly, a complete chapter on each core theme enables instructors to easily integrate and revisit topics such as strategic HRM, ethics, utility (cost/benefit analysis), plus productivity and quality at any point.
- Chapter 16, Employment Transitions, focuses on retaining valuable employees during strong economic periods and reducing the workforce during difficult periods—plus internal transitions.
- The Fifth Edition features the latest theoretical approaches to strategic HRM, an increased focus on the impact of 'bottom line' practices, a streamlined discusion of HRIS, and more discusion of how HR activities fit into a company's overall business strategy.
- Updated cases and boxed inserts cover a range of subjects, including test-taker rights, the pitfalls of measurement tools, performance appraisal and merit pay in China, and HRM approaches to improving a competitive advantage.

This was the text for my HR class in 2003. I am pursing my Masters. I found the text to have good examples of HR practices however, to be unorganized in fashion. It was not an easy text to follow as it jumps around a lot. It also introduces many ideas and then tells the reader that it will address the idea in a later chapter. This was very distracting. The practice test from the website are very helpful.

As a graduate MBA student using this text in the Fall, 2002 semester, I enjoyed the subject matter covered in the textbook. It opened new points of interest related to Human Resource Management that I have not learned in other business classes.
