"A concise, useful compilation of key topics and issues relevant to work."
A very good book with lots of information that can be used to set up assignments and discussion. As a teacher I have found this a good basis of information and a start point to set up and challenge opinion

This text is helpful for undergraduates studying organisations, and managers on postgraduate courses.It provides short, readable sections on all of the major HRM areas. A well written text.
A real classic in the making - gives both broad and in depth analysis that encourages debate and reflective practice.
