Human Resource Management: Functions, Applications, Skill Development($80.00Value)

Description

Robert N. Lussier and John R. Hendon′s Human Resource Management provides a clear understanding of traditional HRM concepts and functions, as well as the current trends and challenges facing HR managers. Students are engaged with a wide variety of activities and tools that allow them to apply HR functions and concepts. Six types of high-quality applications and four types of skill-building exercises offer students the opportunity to hone critical thinking skills and HR management skills that they can utilize in their professional and personal lives. The book is structured around the Society for Human Resource Management ′s ( SHRM ) major HRM functions, which are clearly identified throughout the text. "I like the idea of taking the students to the next level by applying the concepts through critical thinking. I was impressed with the authors’ presentation and style. I think the text reads easily for a student that is new to the discipline and it is not overly simplified for experienced students that are refreshing their skills. I am a visual learner and I like the charts and diagrams presented. The exercises provided give practical insight into everyday situations.” -- Roxanne Roske Published On: 2011-10-28 “Beautiful layout invites reader interest―superb graphics, learning aids, self-assessments; excellent theory and research bases; excellent readability, with thorough explanation of terms and concepts; superior chapter on a difficult topic of performance appraisal.” -- Larry K. Bright Published On: 2011-10-28 "The text is designed to work in sync with SHRM’s curriculum, and it has some nice pedagogical tools included within and at the end of every chapter.” -- Howard R. Stanger Published On: 2011-10-28 “[The authors] have done a great job of offering a variety of activities and setup. Also, there is so much practical application of materials that corporate HR uses. This is a really good chapter.” -- Debbie L. Mackey Published On: 2011-10-28 “Excellent organization of the content, I like the use of the questions format for major headings . . . nice writing style.” -- Frederick Tesch Published On: 2011-10-28 “I was most impressed with the ease of following the points the authors were making. The way they use headings and sub-headings in covering the information, and break the material into informational blocks, will be very helpful to the student.” -- Gary R. Murray Published On: 2011-10-28 “Love the self-assessments! Few texts actually attempt to ‘help’ the students use what they learn!” -- Carol Spector Published On: 2011-10-28 “I like the structure and the approach of this textbook. It is more hands-on and will allow me to take my present course to the next level.” -- Brenda Smith Published On: 2011-10-28 “[Chapter 8] is definitely one of the most creative, pragmatic chapters on performance appraisal of all the textbooks written.” -- Jack N. Kondrasuk Published On: 2011-10-28 “I really like this text. It has solid content, it is very readable, and succinct.” -- Barbara A. Crockett Published On: 2011-10-28 Great book. Easy to use for the student. -- Dr Andrea Tatkon-Coker ― drupal Published On: 2015-03-13 Good text and good examples -- Dr Debi Mishra ― drupal Published On: 2013-04-10 We are using this text and I am the first instructor to teach this course. I have order the text but never received. We are in the second week and still do not have the text. Please send as soon as possible. -- Dr Jeanne Morrison ― drupal Published On: 2013-03-12 adequately meets course needs. -- Dr Patricia Henley ― drupal Published On: 2012-11-27 Students found the book interesting and fundamental to their understanding of HRM -- Dr Scott Foster ― drupal Published On: 2013-07-11 I find this textbook very comprehensive and well connecting the theoretical concepts with real life examples and skill builders. The learning objectives are very well defined and together with critical thinking questions, video resources, cases, work applications and other pedagogical aids invite for active learning. As an advantage for this book I find the content connection with the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) curriculum guidebook (2010). The perspective presented is US meaning that some parts of the book are not usable for international reader (such as Chapter 3 covering the legal environment in the US). -- Dr Viktor Kulhavy ― drupal Published On: 2014-08-04 Very good and would recommend -- Mr Alan Searle ― drupal Published On: 2015-02-27 Excellent layout, web resources and connection to SHRM. -- Mr Johnathan Liechty ― drupal Published On: 2013-08-17 Human Resource Management has proven itself to be an extremely useful text. The concepts and theories are presented in an accessible manner. -- Mr Patrick Hutchinson ― drupal Published On: 2013-05-11 The book has been recognized as a useful supplemental source for both our undergraduate and postgraduate students.
