Product Description
Review
The real life examples, quotes and case studies, together with the reference to the web-site links, will undoubtedly help to enhance the suitability of this text to a range of courses. I will certainly recommend this text to my students.

I have used this text over many years, both in the UK on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and overseas on MBA programmes, and have come to rely on its comprehensive mix of academic and practical insights into the world of HR. It is easy to follow, engaging in style, and keeps the reader’s interest up.

The structure of the book invites the student to elaborate self-steering learning and “ learn to learn” .

Product Description
Provides comprehensive, practical description and discussion of the functions of personnel management, supported by extensive illustrative material and evidence from current practice. The text has a logical structure: each part begins with a chapter on the strategic aspects of personnel management within the wider organisation; this is followed by chapters covering the core operational aspects; the final chapter in each part covers the practical skills of interaction needed by a personnel manager. Beyond updating the material to reflect legislative changes, current business practice and emerging issues of professional debate, this revision has introduced a range of assessment material and new illustrative material, pedagogical and text design enhancements, and improved lecturer support material.

Format:Paperback
I have used this book during my undergraduate and postgraduate business + management degree.
It is of such depth and clarity that I almost needed no other sources for most of my essays + exams. The recommended readings are all essential, the theories mentioned more up to date than most other textbooks in the field (and I have looked at quite a few during my courses) and the structure + examples are very relevant.
It is definitely better than Beardwell's or Marchington's textbooks, and only matched by Bratton + Gold's textbook (which has a stronger practical focus I find but does manage to put theories into a broader context sometimes).
This is one of the best textbooks I have used during my academic career.
