Human Resources and Personnel Management
by William B. Werther and Keith Davis
Published 1 February 1989
This fourth edition of "Human Resources and Personnel Management" continues to provide comprehensive coverage of the essential topics in a readable and understandable format. The book features numerous vignettes based on actual organizations and events that are designed to bring conceptual material to life. The coverage of legal issues has been thoroughly revised to reflect the significant developments of the early 90s. This new edition is further distinguished by the inclusion of vital contemporary issues such as cultural diversity, ethics, globalization and the impact of human resource management on corporate strategy. The book takes a progressive approach by linking contributions of human resources to corporate strategy; features a wealth of real-life vignettes that provide applications-orientated examples; expands upon the increased globalization of organizations; and offers explanations of the human resource department's role in dealing with employees.
Since winning a national book award in 1966, this classic text has continued to cover both the major research findings of business and societal relations and the thoughts and actions of business practitioners who have struggled both successfully and unsuccessfully with tough human and social problems. This edition features: new ethics case study; new theme of global enterprise running throughout the book; more attention to ecological issues and problems; and coverage of women in business.
