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.

Strategic Management: Concepts (13th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fred David has written an excellent and concise book on startegic management. His methods of including easy to understand and use matrices is a godsend to most students at under graduate level. The TOWS matrice developed by Fred David is one of the best tools available in strategic management, it is so simple, yet on one page you can view a company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and devise alternative strategies to make the best use of your SWOT analysis. The cases in the book are short and to the point and the low price should ensure it is used throughout the world by management students. John McElvaney. Management Lecturer. Melbourne Australia.

Understanding and Managing Diversity (4th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This isn't a bad book. It was required for a managing diversity class I am taking in graduate school. The content is short readings on various topics generally centering around cultural diversity and discimination. There are group exercises in between some of the readings. The book is very much centered around being used in a group-discussion oriented classroom. I don't think it is worth what is being charged for it, but as far as textbooks go, it is pretty inexpensive.

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!
