She has a knack for presenting technical information in a format for novices in public administration. The case studies presented enhance the understanding of relevant issues that human resource managers face. More importantly, the author emphasizes that the collaboration between the organizations' stakeholders will enhance the strategic human resources management process.

Rating: 4
Summary: Graduate Student Resource
Comment: I consider this book to be very relevant to human resources practice. The author set forth traditional human resoures functions such as recruitment and selection, performance evaluation, and compensation and benefits, with the human resources perspective of the 21st century: changing, empowering, strategic management, and team-building.

I also find this book to be relevant to theory. the author's discussion of traditional human resources theories served to refresh my knowledge of the issues and functions of human resources management.

The text was not difficult to read, but covered the topics comprehensively and provided ample case study examples. I recommend this book to graduate students.
