Human Resource Management: Gaining A Competitive Advantage with PowerWeb and Student CD
Human Resource Management: Gaining A Competitive Advantage by Noe/Hollenbeck/Gerhart/Wright is back with a new and improved 4th edition. In this new economy, effective human resource management is all the more necessary to gain true competitive advantage in the marketplace, as competitors strive to win the war for talent. Four challenges companies face are the global challenge, the challenge of meeting stakeholder needs, the high performance work practices challenge, and the challenge of competing in the new economy. The authors bring these challenges to life by highlighting real-world examples pertaining to these 4 issues and relating it to the concepts within the chapter. This best-selling McGraw-Hill Human Resource Management title provides students with the technical background needed to be a knowledgeable consumer of human resource (HR) products and services, to manage HR effectively, or to be a successful HR professional. While clearly strategic in nature, the text also emphasizes how managers can more effectively acquire, develop, compensate, and manage the internal and external environment that relates to the management of human resources.

From the Publisher:
The authors have reduced the number of chapters from 19 to 16 to provide comprehensive but succinct coverage of HRM topics.
A new chapter (10), Employee Separation and Retention, covers effective HR practices for motivating and retaining employees, a critical issue in modern human resource management. Because today's workforce tends to change companies much more frequently than they did in years past, many companies make it a strategic priority to keep experienced employees.
A new chapter, titled Managing the HR Function, concludes the text. This chapter discusses how HR practices can be integrated to help the company gain a competitive advantage. The chapter also discusses what state-of-the-art HR functions do and how they contribute to the company's business goals. In short, it provides a strategic overview of the first 15 chapters.
End-of Chapter Business Week Cases: Each chapter concludes with a case based on Business Week. These cases are based on actual human resource or people issues that companies have faced. There's also a Business Week edition (0072340282) to complement this important new feature.
The implications of technology for HRM practices are discussed in each chapter. HRM, like all areas of business, has been strongly impacted by the ever increasing use of technology in the workplace. Each functional area of HRM - staffing, training and development, and compensation - faces technology challenges such as email privacy, growth of internet use, computerized personnel files, pay-for-performance systems, and technologies to accommodate disabled workers.
Updated chapter openings and examples are based on best practices of specific real-world companies.
Updated Boxed Features Competing in Global; Competing Through Meeting Stakeholders Needs and Competing Through High-Performance Work Systems enhance the relevant and real-world quality of this leading textbook.
Strategic issues with regard to HR are introduced early in the text and have been integrated throughout; this key distinguishing feature is important because it relates sound HR functioning to overall firm value.
Text has been updated to include most recent academic research as well as the best real company practices and examples.
