HRM Book Review

Personally, I felt that this was an excellent introductary textbook for HRM. It was in a logical order, and did a fine job covering all of the important aspects of Human Resource Management. I especially liked the fact that along with the written material, there were figures, tables, and graphs to further reiterate the point that was being made. This helps people who need to 'see' the information as well as read it. Furthermore, I really liked HR transitions in the begining of the chapters. They provided a real-world overview of what would be discussed in the chapters. These, along with the HR Perspectives, really gave the reader an idea of how the concepts talked about in the book were used and dealt with in the real world. The only thing that I really didn't like about the book, was that because of the fact that there is so much to be covered in an introductary course, some of the concepts did not seem to be explained as well as they could have been. As stated before though, overall this was a great book. I highly recomend it's use for any inrodutary HRM course.

Human Resource Management Review

The Human Resource Management text was very helpful in putting visual statistics to what we were learning at the time. The figures in the text were both relevant and helpful. Although the text was very repititive, it helped me to learn the material. The text provided good examples of each topic discussed and addressed both sides of any controversial issues that were reviewed. It also was easy to understand and follow.

Human Resource Management

Overall, this book does an adequate job describing Human Resource Management. The book can suit anyone from someone who knows very little about HRM to someone who is an expert with it. The layout of the book was fairly simple and easy to understand. It incorporated the new advancements in technology thoroughly in each chapter. The abundant amount of graphs and diagrams were very helpful in demonstrating the points being discussed. The questions at the beginning of each chapter do a great job of outlining what will be covered in each section. In addition, the summary at the end of each chapter is a perfect way to review the main points. The book is not really biased in any way. It presents the advantages and disadvantages of every theroy and idea connected with HRM. There are a few small problems. In some ways this textbook can seem like an information overload. A massive amount of material is covered in each chapter. Also, while it is a great informational tool, it did not do much to enhance my excitement for HRM. Even with these few negative perceptions I would still recommend this book to students interested in HRM.

Objective Learning

I believed the text book to be a great tool in the education of Human Resource Management. The book was very objective in teaching the aspects and procedures of Human Resource Management. The text would give both sides to the story. In almost all areas, the book gave disadvantages and advantages to using the policies presented. The text also did a good job of relating the material with current events. The text provided stories and inserts that related to issues with current companies. Therefore the reader is allowed to see how the material is actually applied in the real world.

A great learning resource for HRM!

Mathis and Jackson do a good job of covering the important points of HR Management. The book was well organized and easy to follow. The figures and charts are very useful and aide in understanding the subject matter. The chapter objectives listed in the beginning of the chapter and the chapter summaries at the end are also very helpful. I would recomend this text for use in other HRM classes.
