Generally a Good HRM Textbook

I am using this text for a graduate class in HRM that I am teaching. Generally, the materials are well presented. However, like most HR texts, it is woefully lacking in HR strategy and I find myself expanding in this area. In addition, it refers to the HR triad as line managers, HR and employees. What happened to the alignment with senior management or strategy itself? I realize the authors have used this concept for years, but I am concerned that the continued use of the concept in an HR survey course (where for some students, this is the only HR class they take), reinforces the incorrect notion that HR belongs nowhere near the top of the organization.

Book came in a timely manor and was in great condition, it looked just like the picture...just what I wanted

Great Book!

This is a great book that I am using for my management class. My professor said it will be very helpful if you plan on taking the SHRM PHR exam.

A Good HRM Material

I have read this book at graduate level as a class material in Human Resource Management. The most obvious priority of Schulers book is its case studies which are developed elaborately and absolutely topic-related. It was my assignment to translate case studies included in this book into Turkish and while I was reading cases, I realized that as I read, I better understood topics. Although cases are impressive in this book, the chapter titled as "The Role of HRM Department in Total Quality Management Process" is not rich in terms of content. I reccommend this book especially to international students whose English proficiency level is not very high because the language and structure of Schulers book is very simple, accordingly understandable. A good source in the field of HRM. Highly reccommended.
