Managing human resources is a critical component of any company’s overall mission to
provide value to customers, shareholders, employees, and the community in which it does
business. Value includes profits as well as employee growth and satisfaction, creation of
new jobs, contributions to community programs, and protection of the environment.
Our Approach: Engage, Focus, and Apply
Following graduation, most students will find themselves working in businesses or notfor-
profit organizations. Regardless of position or career aspirations, their role in directly
managing other employees or understanding human resource management practices is critical
for ensuring both company and personal success. Therefore, Fundamentals of Human
Resource Management, Seventh Edition, focuses on human resource issues and how HR
is used at work. Fundamentals is applicable to both HR majors and students from other
majors or colleges who are taking an HR course as an elective or a requirement.
Our approach to teaching human resource management involves engaging students
in learning through the use of real-world examples and best practices; focusing them on
important HR issues and concepts; and applying what they have learned through chapter
features and end-of-chapter exercises and cases. Students not only learn about best practices
but are actively engaged through the use of cases and decision making. As a result,
students will be able to take what they have learned in the course and apply it to solving
HRM problems they will encounter on the job.
Each chapter includes several different pedagogical features. “Best Practices” provides
examples of companies whose HR activities work well. “HR Oops!” highlights HRM
issues that have been handled poorly. “Did You Know?” offers interesting statistics about
chapter topics and how they play out in real-world companies. “HRM Social” demonstrates
how social media and the Internet can be useful in managing HR activities in any
organization. “Thinking Ethically” confronts students with issues that occur in managing
human resources. Each feature includes questions to assist students with critical thinking
and to spark classroom discussions.
Fundamentals also assists students with learning “How To” perform HR activities, such
as writing effective HR policies, being strategic about equal employment opportunities,
and making the most of HR analytics. These are all work situations students are likely to
encounter as part of their professional careers. The end-of-chapter cases focus on corporate
sustainability (“Taking Responsibility”), managing the workforce (“Managing Talent”),
and HR activities in small organizations (“HR in Small Business”).
