Let me begin by saying, this is not a bad book. On the flip side of that, however, I found the book to be completely predictable and basic in its level of complexity. I purchased this book as part of a graduate course and it is not graduate level. This would be perfect for a max 200 level "Introduction to HR" undergraduate course. The upsides of the book is that it does cover pretty much all of the major facets a person should know about HR and does get into lots of the nooks and crannies, just in a very basic way. The part of the book that I felt it was lacking in is in connecting the knowledge presented with decision making for strategic, high-level managers.
The previous edition of this book was great, but the 7th edition is far to basic and doesn't get to the depth to really cover the essentials in a way that is effective. I won't use it for my class again.
Books very small and mostly common sense. Do not spend a lot on this book and only purchase if required. Most of the info can be found from basic human resource sites or older books.
Perfect item at a great price, much cheaper than purchasing such a small book. Fast shipping. Great renter. Thank you.
inexpensive to rent. the book is light on detail, but i guess thats more up to the instructor
