PRESCRIBED TEXT FOR HRM502 AT CSU, SEMESTER 1 2010As 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 6th 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.
Key Features
Course: The human resource management (HRM) course can be found in business schools, MBA programs, industrial relations programs and in some psychology departments. The course is mainly found in 4-year schools as part of the management curriculum. While the course can sometimes be found in 2-year programs, Noe will rarely appeal to this part of the market.
Internal differentiation: Noe (HB) is our most popular mainstream text with a strategy theme throughout, Noe (PB) is our brief general HR text, Bernardin is our most experiential/applied text, Byars/Rue is our most basic text, Cascio is our most comprehensive text w/ strong global focus, Ivancevich is our well-researched text with lots of ?real? org. settings and situations.
Story: Noe is our most popular mainstream text. Strategic (competitive advantages) theme runs throughout the text ? managerial oriented for business majors, but works for HR majors, too. 16-chapter format is very appealing with the last chapter focusing on ?putting everything into perspective? about why HRM functions are so important to today?s companies. The most important changes New to this edition, there is an Appendix on the PHR/SPHR Exam that the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) promotes. Additionally we?ve partnered with SHRM for 2 video clips that support this text.
New Features:
New Evidence Based HR Sections within each chapter highlight the growing trend to demonstrate how HR contributes to a company?s competitive advantage. Evidence-based HR shows how HR decisions are based on data and not just intuition. The company examples used show how HR practices influence the company?s bottom line or key stakeholders including shareholders, employees, customers, or the community.
New PHR/SPHR Index has been added at the back of the book to provide students with the information they need to study for the PHR or SPHR exam. A student guide to studying for the PHR or SPHR exam including page references to the exam topics found in this textbook is available on the book?s website at www.mhhe.com/noe6e
New Instructor?s Guide to using NBC?s The Office contains teaching notes and suggested use of select episodes from the popular television show along with discussion questions and answers. Selected shows highlight specific scenes that are linked to HR topics.
New HRM Video DVD provides 29 HRM related clips and is available upon adoption of this 6th Edition. 14 out of the 16 chapters have new videos including two new videos produced by the SHRM Foundation include HR in Alignment: the Link to Business Results at Sysco Food Services and Ethics: The Fabric of Business. Other notable videos available for this edition include Johnson & Johnson eUniversity for the chapter on Training and Hollywood Labor Unions for the chapter on Collective Bargaining and Labor Relations.
NEW! Management in the Movies (ISBN: 0073317713) McGraw-Hill is now offering a ?Management in the Movies? DVD loaded with scenes from major Hollywood movies and TV Shows! Each movie has been clipped to highlight a specific scene (each is less than two and a half minutes) and linked to specific topics including groups, ethics, diversity, global management, and more! Along with the DVD, McGraw-Hill provides an instructor?s manual with suggestions for usage of the clip, clip summaries, and discussion questions to accompany each segment.
New Expanded Coverage of Safety & Health. Updated coverage on health care benefits has been added to Chapter 13. There is also expanded coverage of safety issues in chapter 3. Employee safety and health care benefits are two important issues that students need to consider as companies are interested in decreasing benefit costs but insuring the safety and well-being of their employees.
New Enhanced Cartridge Content includes chapter pre/post tests with results that auto populate your grade book, narrated chapter summaries, narrated PowerPoint slides, select videos, and key terms all available for students to download to their iPod?s and study on the go.
New Chapter Opening Cases present a real business problem or issue that provides background for the issues discussed in the chapter. Chapter 2, for example, opens with a new case on Chrysler?s financial troubles, replacing the previous edition?s dated case on JetBlue.
New Test Bank tags! An updated Test Bank has been improved to include the Answer, Level of Difficulty, Learning Objective, AACSB Knowledge Category, and Bloom?s Taxonomy Question Type. Bloom?s categories include; Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. AACSB knowledge categories are; Communication Abilities, Ethical Understanding and Reasoning Abilities, Analytical Skills, Use of Information Technology, Multicultural and Diversity Understanding, and Reflective Thinking Skills.
Instructor?s will need to obtain copies of the television show episodes on their own. You can buy this for them!
The boxes? ?Competing through Globalization?, ?Competing through Technology?, ?Competing through Sustainability? have all been updated with new references to recent companies and examples. Their practical relevance and timeliness to HR issues are essential for student learning in the classroom.
