Human Resource Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a simply stated book that gave common sense examples.
The chapters were easy to understand without having to have your professor explain everything.
There are a couple of chapters that seem like they should be reorganized, and a couple of chapters that should be put in a different order. Overall though, this is a very good book to help you understand Human Resource Management.

While assessment centers have been used for numerous human-resource management functions, all assessment centers are not alike. This book shows how assessment for managerial selection/promotion, diagnosis of managerial training needs, and team building among managerial groups are done differently. The author also shows how the assessed dimensions, observations, and participant feedback all must be tailor-made to the specific application of the assessment-center method.

Essentials of Organizational Behavior (Prentice Hall essentials of management series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I find Robbins's OB one of the best introductionary books for OB. Though it does not contain lots of case studies, to get started with concepts, the easy to read layout and the interesting activities that he presents makes it a very good book to get started. I personally started my OB with a much more detailed book, but after I found this one, I used this as the starting point, to get the ideas, and then used more high level books to explore further.
Why not 5 stars, well, coz as I said, I did need to look at other books to explore in detail!

Diversity Consciousness: Opening our Minds to People, Cultures and Opportunities (3rd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For several years I have been looking for a simple text to use with students to examine issues of diversity. This is it! Bucher presents in 7 short chapters an overview that includes a broad range of issues, balanced theory with practical application, useful and challenging activities. I plan to use this not only with my sociology students but also with human resource personnel who are trying to be more effective managers of diversity. Good work!
