This book is great, but at the same time it is extremely wordy. It would be nice if it had more examples, case studies, charts and graphs rather than mostly words to convey messages. Personally, I am more of a visual person, so for me, this is over the top.
Finally, an HR Text that Focuses on Strategy

This is a great textbook for the instructor that wants to focus on HR strategy. Practically the entire first half of the book deal with strategic issues. My only concern however is that it is woefully out of date - four years old - and some of the materials show it! I have used this text for several years in graduate classes that I teach.
decent read

I like the short chapters and the related articles in the back. I also find the various inserts of real-life examples good for comprehending some of the heady jargon that isn't so obvious.
Strategic Human Resource Management
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The book covered a lot of ground. I believe it offered a lot of insight into the world of human resources, primarily, the challenges faced by HR today. Some highlights were the concept of valuing human assets, the implications of globalization, federal regulations, the importance of well-designed and applicable feedback systems, employee separation and compensation. Overall, it was a fairly easy read. I would recommend this book to professors, students, and entrepreneurs.
