"I consistently use the Cases, Incidents, and Skill Builders. What
I like about these is that they allow the students to apply the
Human Resource Management information they have learned. Completing
the Cases, Incidents, and Skill Builders provides students the
opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, comprehension, and
application of the material. Hence, their mastery of the material."
- Dr. Tina C. Elacqua, Le Tourneau University
"I have used different editions of this book for the past 8 years.
This remains the only text in the market that offers a
comprehensive source of everything and anything to do with Human
Resource Management cases, vignettes and skill builders. Further,
what appeals to me the most is the sheer variety of choices for
each topic. One can choose from a comprehensive/integrative case
that challenges students to analyze information from a variety of
perspectives and encourages them to generate solutions that capture
an integrated approach to HRM. One has a choice of shorter cases
called 'incidents" that succinctly capture a key issue or a theme.
These shorter cases and incidents have been updated each time to
reflect the current trends in HR - from safety and violence at
work, to freedom of speech, illegal immigration and so on. Then
there are several hands-on practical exercises and skill-builders
that my students simply love because they get to actually get their
hands dirty and engage in a particular HR activity within the
safety of a classroom environment or at home. Many of my students
actually keep the book after the class is over and use these
skill-builders and exercises to train and/or coach their co-workers
and subordinates. Because, this book does such a great job in
keeping up with the current HR trends and translating them into
"teachable moments" - it offers an excellent and valuable teaching
tool that appeals to both instructors and students. One final
comment - given that many of the cases and incidents in the book
are grounded in some forms of a "real life" case, it makes the
material so much more powerful and authentic to work with." -
Romila Singh, PhD, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
"The text is perfect for our course given that we want to focus on
all areas of HR. The text is excellent in providing students
practical and real-world cases, skill builders, etc. in which they
may apply and develop their knowledge. I have found these to be
very much aligned to situations they may actually encounter in the
workplace." - Stacy Rogers, SPHR, CPRW, Sullivan University
