Recenzje

'For those of you who are HR execs or who advise them I highly recommend Short Introduction to Strategic Human Resource Management by Wayne Cascio and John Boudreau. It is a new book and has insights that have not been brought together in one place that define the HR function when it is a permanent and significant member of the C Suite. [I] hope you find it as enlightening as I did. I am using it in my Strategic HRM graduate class at DePaul University, even though it was not written as a text.' Robert J. Greene, CEO, Reward $ystems, Inc.
