As competitors strive to win the war for talent, effective human resource management is necessary to gain true
competitive advantage in the marketplace. Three challenges companies face are sustainability, technology, and globalization.
Human Resource Management 5th Edition brings these challenges to life by highlighting real-world examples pertaining
to these issues and relating it to the concepts within the chapter. This best-selling McGraw-Hill/Irwin Human Resource
Management title provides students with the technical background needed to be a knowledgeable consumer of human
resource (HR) products and services, to manage HR effectively, or to be a successful HR professional. While clearly
strategic in nature, the text also emphasizes how managers can more effectively acquire, develop, compensate, and
manage the internal and external environment that relates to the management of human resources.
New Features
- "Competing through Sustainability" boxes are included in the chapters. Challenges to sustainability
include the ability to deal with economic and social changes, engage in responsible and ethical business practices,
provide high quality products and services, and develop methods to determine if the company is meeting stakeholder
needs. These boxes discuss how companies succeed in a competitive environment considering aspects of social responsibility
like environmental and employment issues.
- "Strategic Use of HRM" - this is a new highlighted element within the chapter content that contains
examples of how real companies have developed or executed competitive HR strategies to create value.
- "Exercising Strategy" sections at the end of the chapters provide additional cases with discussion
questions. The examples pose strategic questions based on real-life practices.
- Self-Assessment Exercises at the end of the chapters provide a brief exercise for students to complete and
evaluate their own skills.
- Manager's Hot Seat Exercises are now included in the text at the end of most chapters. These individual and
group exercises correspond to the Manager's Hot Seat DVD video segments. The segments highlight scenarios that
are critical to HR success. This interactive DVD is available as an optional package for students for an additional
$5 using ISBN: 0073586293.
- The student CD-ROM content has been moved to the Online Learning Center www.mhhe.com/noe5e. Students will find
