Review:

The strategic nature of HRM is presented with a functional approach. The textbook is easy to read, is illustrated well, and is appealing to students. The ancillary package meets my expectations.

I asked several HR Master students to review 4 or so texts and yours was unanimously selected. Congratulations! I especially like the web links and the special charts of hot topics.

The material is covered at an appropriate level for undergraduates. The material is presented in a more interesting fashion (for undergraduates) than is the case in other texts. The topics are covered at about the right level of breadth vs. depth -- and all the major areas I focus on are covered.
