fantastic essential read for HRM easy to read quick summary, examples, and case study student can put this in context. recommended
Miss Natasha Hassan, Dept of Education, Bolton University
The book is designed in a way which makes it very helpful and valuable for academic and training purposes. It could be used for civilian students as well as for military. The tests and the structure of the content make the book easy to understand. There are many ideas which can be easily adapted for the needs of various organizations.
Professor Zaharin Markov, defence advanced research institute, national defence college
A core benefit of this book is a practical approach to HRM issues. This makes the book a valuable HRM learning material. Real-life case studies and Skill Builder sections provide support to the readers in their skills development, such as communication skills, than can be implemented in real business situations. The comprehensive and structural approach to the presentation of the key CSR issues is supplemented by contemporary issues that link HRM with Sustainability and Social Responsibility issues.
Mrs Iveta Ozolina-Ozola, Department of Innovation and Business Management, Riga Technical University
This was a great book for our second year Foundation Degree students who have also reviewed this book as part of the WBL assignment.
Mr Mike Kershaw, Management , Knowsley Community College
“Robert Lussier, in collaboration with John Hendon, has taken his inimitable writing style to another level in this text. Even the most mundane of HR topics come to life in this active learning text. A multitude of application and skill building exercises ‘bring this book to life’ and reinforce student comprehension of the field of Human Resource Management.”
