Synopsis

This authoritative text appeals to upper-level students, practicing managers, and HRM professionals who require a thorough grasp of the field's essential functional areas as well as emerging trends. Drawing on their extensive experience teaching abroad, the authors introduce international issues in the first chapter and provide ongoing discussion throughout the text. Similarly, a complete chapter on each core theme enables instructors to easily integrate and revisit topics such as strategic HRM, ethics, utility (cost/benefit analysis), plus productivity and quality at any point.

• Chapter 16, Employment Transitions, focuses on retaining valuable employees during strong economic periods and reducing the workforce during difficult periods—plus internal transitions.
• The Fifth Edition features the latest theoretical approaches to strategic HRM, an increased focus on the impact of "bottom line" practices, a streamlined discussion of HRIS, and more discussion of how HR activities fit into a company's overall business strategy.
• Updated cases and boxed inserts cover a range of subjects, including test-taker rights, the pitfalls of measurement tools, performance appraisal and merit pay in China, and HRM approaches to improving a competitive advantage.
