HRM from A-Z

the long version

The questions and answers in [this book] originated in 1994 as a monthly newspaper column entitled Management Matters, which continues to be published six years and over 100 questions later.... The questions in this book reflect concerns ... from practitioners, business owners, managers, and employees. They also reflect trends ... in the rapidly changing HRM environment, particularly in strategic and global human resource management. Each question in this book is listed alphabetically by a guide word or phrase that indicates the major issue. The question pages include key words and concepts, discussion points, and a suggested reference. [This book] is designed as a supplemental text in an introductory human resource management course or graduate HRM seminar. [The authors] have used the questions in the book to help [their] undergraduate and graduate students focus on practical applications of theoretical approaches to HRM, which are the standard elements of a general text. -Pref
