Synopsis

Human Resource Information Systems: Basics, Applications, and Future Directions, Third Edition is a cross-disciplinary book that provides a thorough introduction to the field of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), a combination of two major management fields that impact the competitive advantage of companies―human resources and information systems. Unlike other HRIS textbooks that overwhelm students with technical info and jargon, Michael J. Kavanagh and Richard D. Johnson offer a balanced approach in dealing with HR and IT/IS issues by drawing from experts in both areas.
