For undergraduate or graduate level human resource management courses. The “non-functional” HR approach used in this text also makes human resources relevant to anyone who has to deal with HR issues, even those who do not hold the title of manager. All materials have been thoroughly updated in this edition including more than 800 new references.
New Feature—Many cases also contain a new feature called “individual exercises” that’s intended for students who wish to or can only work individually rather than as a member of a class or team.
New Expanded Coverage—Every chapter has been updated and revamped to reflect the changing economic climate. Unprecedented economic upheavals since 2008 have changed the roles of both the manager and the employee. New elements to managing are introduced and explored, elements that include employee stress and anxiety, and cross-training employees to fulfill a variety of different job roles.
