1-0 out of 5 stars sold book that was a review copy
Seller sold a copy of this book online when it clearly states on the inside pages, as well as back of book that it is a review copy and that it is NOT to be resold!! The seller sold this book and never once advertised that it was a review copy and charged me the same price as the original sold at my university's bookstore of around $96.00. Don't buy this book if you plan on reselling!

5-0 out of 5 stars GOOD SERVICE
I received this book earlier than expected, I needed it for school and I didn't have to worry about not having it on time

2-0 out of 5 stars Information is Lacking - Way Over Priced!
First of all, there is no justification for the price of this book. This is a $15 paperback at best. Unfortunately, the professors at any given educational facility seem to endorse this kind of rip-off. Aside from giving a basic overview of the laws with regard to Human Resource Management, this book lacks any meaningful or valueable information. Much of the information presented is obvious and poorly supported. To get a basic understanding of HR Management, as this book presents, I would recommend finding a much cheaper alternative.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Customer Service
I had a hard time getting a hold of the customer service reps at first, but once they finally got back in tough with me they were helpful and went out of their way to make sure my situation was resolved.

    The book was on time.Because it is an older edition it was a little worn.However, I cannot complain because of the cheap price.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Human Resource Management, 12th Ed.
    This book was in new condition - not missing any parts or pages, and fits my need for the class I am taking. As far as the text, I have not gotten far enough into the book to make any assessment, but so far it seems fairly easy to read, flows well, and relates to the instructor's course work. I am pleased with this purchase.

    The product was in great condition and the price was phenomenal however it was not the addition I put in my search and the description never indicated that it as the 3rd edtion of series that is now in its 12 edition.Of course I was seeking the 12the edition. Needless to say I was very dissapointed.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great book teaching the basics and more of HR
    This book is amazing. It makes learning the basic of human resources so easy and interesting. Before I read this book, I was unaware of how many aspects of HR there was. It really helps anyone learn the basics. The text brings up real-world examples and scenarios that really make it fun to read.

    If you are an instructor, please do your students a favor and choose this book. The price is really high for such a small book but it really is worth it due to how well it explains the material. Oh yeah, I have no affiliation with the publisher and am basing this review on the twelfth edition. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars great book.
    Great book. I have 10 years experience in HR but i've always thought its a good idea to refresh the basics. Its easy for a HR professional to get caught up in a company's culture and do things the way the company has always done them regardless of how wrong they are...but i think its necessary for me to come back to the basics every once in a while.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Good reference but doesnt suffice
    As an HR Professional this book was a little disheartening. I used this book as a reference in studying for my PHR exam. It really didnt provide the relevent information I needed concerning the laws and idnt touch much on best practices in my opinion.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference Guide
    I purchased this book from Amazon as an additional reference and study guide, as I am going to be taking the PHR exam this winter.While it's not the ideal study guide for the PHR, I was very impressed with the book.It packs a lot of content and real-world examples into one slim volume. It gives you checklists you can quickly put to use and I have already made use of the behavior-based interview question examples in chapter 2 on recruiting. I also plan to use the vendor selection criteria used in chapter 11 on technology, since we are in the market for a new applicant tracking system.The book consists of chapters written by various HR subject matter experts, who are currently practicing in the field.They understand what it is to be an HR practitioner in a constantly changing and challenging field.I am keeping this book on my shelf at work for future reference.My biggest pet peeve with the book was the high number of typos it contained.A better job of proofreading for the misspellings and typos would have benefited the book greatly.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!
    Great Book! I recommend this book to anyone who's in need of any help of some great advise to future HR professionals!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Essential, Elegant and Easy to Access
    If you are a new or seasoned manager(supervisor, etc.) this could be a required handbook for you. Unlike trucks which beep as they back up, warning you that there coming your way and a crash may be imminent, most human resource issues come out of the blue. In addition, to further complicate things many times there may be a time crunch creating a sense of urgency and a need for an answer now. In situations like this, The Essential HR Handbookis incredibly useful as the information is concise, relevant and easy to access. Finally, for those times when your human resource classes seem almost like a figment of your imagination, this book can provide the information to make your day flow without any "beeping" along the way.

    My order shows the exact book I need for class and the correct edition however the book I received today is not even remotely close to the book I need and I cannot find how to contact seller or amazon in order to get the book I ordered!! I am very disappointed.There is also a receipt/invoice w/ my book I received today and it shows yet a different title of book than the one sent or the one ordered. What is going on Amazon.Please contact me to fix this problem before my class starts and to give me a refund!!! this book was expensive!

    I saved around $100 on the purchase of this book. It was mailed quickly. Thank you for this service.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Does the job!
    The book is an easy to read type of book, with case studies in every chapter, and seems up to date. My graduate class in general seem to like the book also. My teacher who does HR consulting for a living likes the book. The book is down to earth, and applicable. The only thing negative was how long I had to wait to get my book since it was in back order. Also, no indication on how long I would have to wait to get my book was sent to me. But once it was out on its way, it was easy to track where my book was. Still no regrets ordering through Amazon. 60% cheaper than my college bookstore.

    I order a book for school and the book was in excellent condition.On top of the the seller was extremely helpful with answering my emails and accommodating my need for the book with the start of my class.It was great all around from the seller.Defiantly buy from them.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
    Six months after the first review regarding wrong edition was posted in February 2010 we ordered the book assuming that Amazon had corrected this issue.

    Sad to say, the book pictured on the order page is not consistent with the book shipped (International Edition: Not for use inside the US).

    To make matters worse, my last two orders (placed over 2 weeks ago) no longer appear in the history and the Order ID Search did not recognize the ID.

    At least the phone interaction was satisfactory with the customer service rep.

    If you had updated the web page with the correct information or shipped the book as advertised we would not have had to had called.

    At this point we are forced to go with another option.

While it doesn�t cover the depths of human resource management theory, the book is rich with examples and engages students through application.

Instead of a higher level of theory that�s geared towards the HRM majors, this book focuses on the uses of human resources for the general business manager.Issues such as strategy are reduced to give a greater focus on how human resources management is used in the everyday work environment.It provides students with the background necessary to manage human resources effectively and to be able to distinguish good from poor human resource management practices and how they impact business.

    With the emergence of the Enterprise Resource Planning System that seamlessly integrates various business modules within the information architecture of any business enterprise, Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) has become a crucial focus for management professionals. This cross-disciplinary book provides a thorough introduction to the field of HRIS, which combines two major management fields that impact the competitive advantage of companies-human resources and information systems.

    Unlike other HRIS textbooks that flood students with technical info and jargon, Human Resource Information Systems: Basics, Applications, and Future Directions offers a balanced approach in dealing with HR and IT/IS issues by drawing from experts in both areas. Editorial introductions to each section provide the reader with a helpful framework, introducing the links between chapters and highlighting the key learning objectives for each chapter.

    Key Features

    • Presents a balanced perspective linking HR concepts to technology and demonstrating how HR professionals can apply these practices to their day-to-day functioning
    • Provides an organizational system template, offering a holistic picture of different HRIS within an organizational framework to depict how these systems, used in conjunction, can contribute to a firm’s success
    • Features extensive case studies to gain real-world, problem-solving perspectives
    • Supplies opening vignettes to provide a glimpse of real organizational problems, the solutions for which can be found in the key themes of the relevant chapter
    • Identifies key Web sites for HRIS that direct students to supplemental material in HRM, IS/IT, and HRIS that will deepen and enhance their learning experiences


    Intended Audience
    This is an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Human Resource Management, Human Resource Information Systems, Human Resource Management Systems, Organizational Behavior, Management Information Systems, Information Technology, and Enterprise Resource Planning.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Poor text for HR
    This was the text for my HR class in 2003. I am pursing my Masters.I found the text to have good examples of HR practices however, to be unorganized in fashion. It was not an easy text to follow as it jumps around a lot. It also introduces many ideas and then tells the reader that it will address the idea in a later chapter. This was very distracting. The practice test from the website are very helpful.

    Text came before the due date, always a good sign.What can you say about a text book?It only works if you read it.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Easy Read
    I bought this used but it showed up in brand new condition, which may say something for the book. It's extremely easy to read and offers good information about HR but is fairly elementary. It reads like a high school text book; that can be a good or a bad thing depending on the student.

    2-0 out of 5 stars An Instructor's Viewpoint
    Human Resources Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations: A Strategic Approach (Jossey Bass Nonprofit & Public Management Series)

    This book has the essentials, but for the price is not worth the money for my students.There are absolutely no instructor or student supplemental materials with this book other than a file that's called an instructors manual that is a digital copy of Joan Pynes' syllabus. This textbook was the wrong choice to engage undergraduate students.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Too dense to hold students' interest

    This text is incredibly thorough in its review of the public restrictions on human resource management but much less thorough in the needs of nonprofits.While the chapters cover all the essential elements of an introductory graduate class in human resources, it did not hold the interests of my students when I used it.There were too few examples and those that were included were designed more as exemplars of how human resource concepts used and not problem-focused in such a way that would engage the students in discussion and problem-solving.There were too few illustrations of important concepts and it would have helped to have more links to current issues and nonprofits that those in their twenties like.On the up side, the text is well written and provides substantial details about how to implement protocols and policies.I would much rather not write a review of a book that doesn't work for me but I think that the existing reviews here gloss over some of these issues.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Good book
    I like the book because it is simple in its explaination and illustrations, written in simple english where everyone that reads it will comprehend which is the most thing i love in the book.
    the sequence of the chapters is done in such an way that it takes youinto the next one with an ideal on what you are going to expect. ... Read more

    Took over two weeks to receive book. Once received, ALL the pages were completely detached from the cover/spine of the book. In other words, as soon as I opened the package all the pages of the book fell out of the cover. Item when purchased was described as great condition, but when received was hardly from it.

    Product Description
    When the first edition of this breakthrough text was published in 1990, transnational corporations and their foreign affiliates accounted for 24 million workers. That figure has since skyrocketed to 62 million workers worldwide. The critical role of human resource management in sustaining this increase in international business activity is a central theme of the exciting new edition of INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: MANAGING PEOPLE IN A MULTINATIONAL CONTEXT. Offering an even stronger global emphasis, the fifth edition draws from the expertise of its expanded author team, which now includes tri-continental representation from Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. A true international work, the text strikes a balance that is meaningful and appropriate to the varying cultures represented by instructors and readers as it accurately captures the compelling realities facing HRM professionals practicing in multinational enterprises today. With expanded coverage of the international business context in which IHRM operates, this edition covers such rapidly developing topic areas as new strategic forms as they impact HRM capabilities and processes, effectiveness in repatriation, transpatriation practices and strategic uses of global careers, ROI of expatriate assignments, the complexities of standardizing and customizing HRM practices and activities across local environments, specific IHRM challenges of offshoring in India and China, multinational family-owned firms, safety and security issues in an age of global risk and uncertainty, and much more. Packed with examples, practical cases, and cutting-edge insight, INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, 5e equips students with a thorough understanding of the key role of HRM in today's increasingly global and complex marketplace. ...

    I got this book for my "Intro to Global HR" course, undergrad and it gives a good look at how a company grows from one country to multiple countries to global, as well as an excellent step by step look at expat relationships and the choices that a firm must make. It is complex, but comprehensive.

    Without previewing this book, I ordered it as the primary textbook for a graduate level course I was teaching in International HR Management. The table of contents looked comprehensive and since it was written by a couple of Australians, I thought it had to be good. Not so. Although the field of international human resource management is interesting and exciting, this book was not. Excessively wordy and academic, it was excruciatingly boring to read.My students unanimously gave it a thumbs-down. ... Read more

    Amazon is asking for a review of what is obviously a textbook about 3 weeks after I received it.The class hasn't yet begun, so I can't give an accurate review. However, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

    More than Pirsig, Hesse, Maugham, Vonnegut, Salinger, Kerouac, or even the Bible, THIS book has changed my life & made me the man I am today!!! The way the subtle nuances of HR Management are described here will forever alter the way I navigate through life!It's a real page-turner!I couldn't put it down!

    Seriously, the book looks fine, Archive Books in Edmond, OK got the book to me very quickly & in excellent shape, & Amazon is more of a pain in the neck than a drunken one-night stand that won't quit calling(but they're cheaper than the campus bookstore). ... Read more
