Summary: Use with caution
Comment: This book is an edited collection of readings, most of which pertain to human resource management (HRM). A strength of the book is that it is structured along the lines of an HRM process model, including major sections on inputs (external and internal contexts of HRM), processes (classic HRM functions), and outcomes (employee attitudes, entry, turnover, and performance). Not a bad way for students to think of HRM. Whereas the editors suggest the book can serve as a stand-alone text for an HRM course, I do not recommend that (at least not for undergraduate HRM students) because it lacks some of the technical detail a stand-alone HRM text requires, and it contains no exercises, learning aids, etc. It is better suited as a supplemental readings text, but should be applied with caution because some of the chapters are non-academic or poorly written. Furthermore, many of the chapters are rife with poor grammar, missing punctuation, and so forth, such that they represent poor exemplars of proper writing for college students (the editors clearly laid down on this aspect of the book).
