Ivancevich's Human
Resource Management takes a managerial orientation; that is it takes the position that HRM
is relevant to managers in every unit, project, or team. Managers are constantly faced
with HRM issues, problems, and decision making and the text's primary goal is to show how
each manager must be a human resource problem solver and diagnostician. This book pays
attention to the application of HRM approaches in "real" organizational settings
and situations. Realism, understanding, and critical thinking were important in the
revision. Students and faculty alike have identified readability and relevance as key
strengths of the text. It provides a book that stimulates ideas and keeps all users
up-to-date on HRM thinking and practice.
Each of the five parts uses
a video case and discussion questions to integrate material relevant to the participation
section of the book. The web site includes a link to Human Resources Online. Students stay
current and expand their knowledge in the field of human resources by completing
approximately twenty online exercises in such areas as training and employee development,
selection and recruitment, compensation and benefits, labor relations, employee separation
and retention, as well as training and employee development. In each exercise, students
review one or more online resources, such as articles covering a recent HR trend. They
then answer some challenging questions. For the busy instructor, Human Resources Online
includes password-protected teaching notes that provide insights and answers to each
question. Internet applications within the text are enhanced with the new HRonline and
Business Around the World, which links directly to the leading HR magazines and
professional sources. In addition, the coverage of Internet resources continues to be an
important topic in this new edition. Each chapter is linked to Internet resources and
include www addresses with strong student appeal. An emphasis on managerial
responsibilities and actions pertaining to HRM activities is woven throughout the content
and chapter elements, making the text relevant to general managers as well as human
resource majors. Key themes have been integrated in the content and pedagogical elements
of each chapter: managing diversity, legal issues of HRM, productivity growth,
globalization, impact of technology, embedded nature of TQM, strategically managing HRM,
enhancing employee skills, changing nature of work, and current examples. The author uses
"Legal Practical Alerts" in each chapter to cite brief legal points, cases, or facts
that enhance student understanding of these important issues in HRM. PageOut is
