Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Movin' up [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This was the text required for my personnell management class. (200 level) I have the Bohlander 13th ed. which is a better text, being better organised. But after going through this book I liked it as well. The last chapter on international HR issues was especially helpful. I have adapted the expatriate worker technoques to address interdepartmental issues in my organization. I understand there will be a new edition out in June 2006. Perhaps it will be better organized.2) Beware [Rating: 1 out of 5]
The book was a copy of the textbook. The print quality is so bad it looks like the words are disappearing in front of your eyes.3) Well organized and synthetic [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book contains the basic principles that any HR or General Manager (especially in the US) is supposed to know. I have been using this textbook as a guide for my MBA studies. I found it very useful in that it clearly explains and organizes almost every important topic about HR management. It gives practical clues on the kind of considerations a manager needs to be aware in day-to-day operation. I used this book to find basic, straightforward ideas about HR principles and how this function is changing in the era of globalization. This way, I could use it to organize my own ideas, and if needed, using the enclosed bibliography, I could go to more specialized books on a particular topic of interest.4) Good. Breaks down things like Employee Manual [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This book is clear and up to date. I found it very useful for our company. It's a keeper!
