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.
Kirsten Krauth, Coventry Business School, UK

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.
John Martin, Fellow of Hull University, UK

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