Recenzje

"This book does a brilliant job in introducing HRM to entry level students. It is pitched at the right level where it helps the reader in understanding the underlying principles and foundations of the many aspects of modern HRM practice. It also balances that by presenting students with up-to-date examples and case studies which deepen their learning and application of the concepts. There is a nice mixture of activities, theory, questions and case studies to provide a multi-layered learning and teaching platform." Sterling Rauseo, Lecturer in Human Resources and Organizational Behaviour, Business School, University of Greenwich
