About this title

Synopsis

Now you can develop a solid, practical understanding of today's human resource management (HRM) concepts and principles with this single source for contemporary cases, exercises, incidents, and skill builders. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS: CASES, EXERCISES, INCIDENTS, AND SKILL BUILDERS offers a hands-on approach to learning HRM with cases drawn from actual events in real organizations, and unique skills builders and exercises that focus on the practical abilities most important in HRM today. This book is the perfect complement to your primary human resource text in any introductory HRM course. A fresh emphasis on problem solving and critical analysis equips you with long-term skills that are important for success at any level of study. Timely examples are drawn from a variety of organizations, including today's growing service sector to provide you with a diversity of experience. The book's timely topics prepare you for traditional HRM situations as well as today's more controversial issues, such as telecommuting, alcohol and drug abuse on the job, and discrimination. With exercises designed for a single class period and a new comprehensive term project, you'll find opportunities to apply and refine your HRM skills for success within your introductory course and your career that follows.

Review

"The variety of activities allows the professor to pick and choose cases depending on topic, time, type of students, or prior use. This is a strong point to this text." "I have used this text, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels for numerous terms. The length of the case allows for the breadth of coverage, inferential thinking and analysis of consequences of actions. I also like that several cases allow for students to think outside of the box. While I do not have sufficient time to use most of the cases, most of the cases are exceedingly useful." "This text is useful to the students. It is the bridge between theory and practice. Students often perceive that theory has not use beyond the classroom. Your textbook provides the occasion to apply theory to real workplace problems. It also offers students the opportunity for collaborative work as well so that they can work as a team solving a problem. Because the cases, exercises, and other activities are based on real work situations, the students gain practical experience in using HR concepts and principles. Beyond the pedagogic component, students enjoy the applications. They become spirited and lively, especially in role play exercises. They develop insights through the simulations. The textbook is useful to the instructor on many levels. It is well organized and the material is just superior to what is out there in the marketplace." "I feel that this is the best case book for HRM available I plan on continuing to use the book in the future and have no plans on changing. I feel the authors have put a lot of effort and work into the text and appreciate its availability."
