Features

Chapter 2: Trends in Human Resource Management has been updated to include discussions of off-shoring, Internet, e-commerce, expanded global issues, and eHRM.
New "Thinking Ethically" Boxes at the end of the chapters confronts students with ethical issues regarding managing human resources and asks them to make and justify their decisions. For example, Kodak's program to prevent harassment of gays and lesbians in its workforce, Molson Coors Brewing Company explores the topic of whether you can teach employees to be ethical through training, the organization's and employee's ethical obligations when employees leave the company, and the ethics of use and abuse of sick time and organizations' policies to name just a few.
New PHR and SPHR guide available online! This text comes with a crosswalk between the knowledge areas covered by the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certification exams for human resource professionals and those areas covered in this text to assist individuals interested in pursuing either the PHR or SPHR certification.
New BusinessWeek Cases look at events at real companies as reported by the nation's number one business weekly and encourage students to critically evaluate each situation and apply the chapter concepts. Two of the new cases include Wipro, an Indian company that goes to extraordinary lengths to recruit and retain enough employees to meet demand, and Google's selection methods of pre-employment testing.
New End-of-Chapter Cases take another look at companies and how their practices illustrate and apply concepts from the chapter. These cases provide external examples to bring into a lecture, along with questions for assignments or classroom discussion. Examples include IBM's recent efforts at innovation in Chapter 2, an American company in Knoxville, TN that does custom tailoring and its struggles to find qualified tailors throughout the world in Chapter 5, and Governor Schwarzenegger's efforts to pass new rules for teacher's unions in California in Chapter 14.
New "Did You Know...?" Boxes with general business career advice have been added throughout the chapters. Examples include the Top Ten Causes of Workplace Injuries, Downsizing, what most senior HR executives want HR to do for them: increase employee productivity, and the importance of first impressions in interviews.
New Manager's Hot Seat exercises can be found online. These individual and group exercises correspond to the Manager's Hot Seat DVD video segments. The video segments highlight scenarios that are critical to HR success. This interactive DVD is available as an optional package for students for an additional $5.
New self-assessment exercises and Internet exercises formerly found on the student CD-ROM are now located online. These hands-on activities reinforce the specific chapter content.
