Overview

Human Resource Management: Linking Strategy to Practice 3e is designed to help students understand traditional human resource concepts within a decision-making framework. This strategic framework helps students not only develop a set of human resource tools, but also determine which tools are appropriate to use for different situations. Written in a clear and friendly style, the text emphasizes how organizations excel when they have consistent human resource practices that align with their strategic direction. Ideal for business students, Human Resource Management prepares students to think about how human resource decisions and strategic organization planning work together for maximum success.
