A Framework for Human Resource Management (2nd Edition): Gary Dessler

Editorial Reviews

Review

“I find this text one of the best for my students because it focuses on key issues facing managers in business, not necessarily human resource managers. Operating on the assumption that all managers and supervisors will engage in selecting, training, evaluating, and compensating employees, the text is particularly valuable as a core course for business administration students. Furthermore, this foundation text explains to students the overall responsibilities of human resource managers. As a result, students interested in the discipline are better able to decide whether that field of study is best for their skills, abilities, and interest.” — Susan Gardner, California State University, Chico

“The most distinctive characteristic of this text is how it pares down the information into a very readable form without sacrificing content or reasonable depth.” — Thomas Kanick, Broome Community College

This book offers select, condensed, and thoroughly updated coverage rewritten from the authors’ best-selling “big” book (I>Human Resource Management, 8/E. Chapter topics include managing human resources today, managing equal opportunity and diversity, personnel planning and recruitment, testing and selecting employees, training and developing employees, appraising performance, compensating employees, managing labor relations and collective bargaining, managing careers and fair treatment, and protecting safety and health. For use in organizations’ brief training courses on executive development.

Global Marketing Management: Masaaki Kotabe, Kristiaan Helsen

• Filed under: Business

Editorial Reviews

The ultimate objective of this book is to help readers prepare for the 21st Century and become an effective manager overseeing global marketing activities in an increasingly competitive environment. Rather than being bound by the traditional bilateral (international) view of competition and marketing, Kotabe and Helsen emphasize the multilateral (global) nature of marketing. This global approach also presents marketing in a cross- functional approach to the business operation.

From the Publisher
This book will help prepare readers for the 21st Century by becoming effective managers overseeing global marketing activities in an increasingly competitive environment. It is the first book to offer a truly global, as opposed to multinational, perspective on marketing.
