Book Description
Advances in Quantitative Analysis of Finance and Accounting, New Series (AQAFANS) is a continuation (with new features) of the similarly titled book series that was previously published by JAI Press from 1991. AQAFANS is an annual publication designed to disseminate developments in the quantitative analysis of finance and accounting. It is a forum for statistical and quantitative analyses of issues in finance and accounting, as well as applications of quantitative methods to problems in financial management, financial accounting, and business management. The objective is to promote interaction between academic research in finance and accounting, applied research in the financial community, and the accounting profession.
Book Description
The new edition of this highly successful and groundbreaking text continues to cover key topics in International Human Resource Management while increasing coverage of emerging theory and issues in this area. Globalization of business is forcing managers to grapple with complex issues as they seek to gain or sustain a competitive advantage. Faced with unprecedented levels of foreign competition at home and abroad firms are beginning to recognize not only that international business is high on top management's list of priorities but that finding and nurturing the human resources required to implement an international or global strategy is of critical importance. The role of human resource management in this complex, ever-changing world is central to this book.

Boring.......2006-08-23
Without previewing this book, I ordered it as the primary textbook for a graduate level course I was teaching in International HR Management. The table of contents looked comprehensive and since it was written by a couple of Australians, I thought it had to be good. Not so. Although the field of international human resource management is interesting and exciting, this book was not. Excessively wordy and academic, it was excruciatingly boring to read. My students unanimously gave it a thumbs-down.
Book Description
Changing demographics are forcing organizations in the United States to address cultural issues. Addressing Cultural Issues in Organizations analyzes how unexamined cultural patterns influence an organization’s culture. Organized into three sections, this volume was written by a panel of experts with extensive research and publication histories in psychology, education, and organizational consulting. How organizational leaders shape and influence the agenda surrounding culture and how culture matters in the country’s organizational life is explored, as well as institutional and organizational issues in corporate, educational, mental health, and service organizations. Various organizational intervention strategies and approaches are also discussed. This book provides groundbreaking conceptual models as well as ideas about how to build practical approaches to organizational interventions.
Book Description
Reflecting contemporary political and managerial realities, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of the values, conflicts, political processes, and management techniques which provide the context for personnel administration in the public sector. A five-part organization covers an introduction to the world of public personnel management, planning, acquisition, development, and sanctions. For human resources personnel—especially managers.

Way too expensive.......2007-01-13
This book is OK, but considering how many books are out there on this subject, I'm amazed at its high cost. Unfortunately, my professor chose this book for our class, so I need to get it. On the positive side, the book is available at our library so I will just photocopy the needed articles without having to actually purchase the book. Professors, please think about the cost of the books you require your students to buy. This kind of price gouging in the textbook market has to stop.
Book Description
It is possible to establish a clear link between good human capital management and enhanced financial performance. In other words, effectively dealing with people is of major importance for all organizations. Human Resource Management in a Business in Context locates HRM and other perspectives of people management in a framework focused on the needs of business studies students. It provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of all the key aspects of people management using numerous real examples from actual business situations. The practical, rather than prescriptive, approach allows students to understand the issues without getting lost in operational details. The new edition has been strengthened to make this our key offering in HRM and an ideal core text for most courses, fully able to compete with the comprehensive competition.
Customer Reviews:
Strong international content.......2004-02-10
The 2nd edition of this book preserves all the best qualities of the original edition while adding considerably to its international content. New chapters have been added, including discussion on high-performance organizations, knowledge management, international legislative frameworks, human capital, HRM in smaller organizations, entrepreneurship, pay and compensation, work-life balance, employee involvement and stress. Numerous case studies and examples are taken from Australia, Canada, South Africa, Asia and Europe as well as the UK and US. All-in-all, a more balanced and authoritative, general HR textbook than the first edition but still uniquely focused on HR in its business context.
An excellent, unique introduction to HRM........1998-07-20
This book distinguishes itelf from other HRM introductory texts buy focusing on the integration of HR with the business and organization. Its breadth and depth are very impressive. The text has an international quality, providing insights into circumstances and issues in many countries. Be aware, however, that because it is written by an emeritus professor in the UK, sections relating to law, and many specific references, are limited in applicability; if this is a problem, it can be worked around for students of other nations. Overall, this is an excellent introduction to human resource management. Every chapter includes further reading, review questions and problems for discussion.

Book Description
This book comprises the work of scholars who gathered in May, 1998 at a conference held at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business Administration. The conference was part of an ongoing series presenting cutting-edge research on teams.
Presented first, are those articles that address particular macro aspects of team context and their influences on team process and effectiveness and ultimately their effectiveness as performing units. The following chapters address: how the organizational context shapes the timing of behavior in teams; process outcome and the effects of organizational performance on top management teams; group process and the nature of contextual features; conditions under which working teams actively manage their external environments and consequences of those actions. The work concludes with an overview of the multiple ways that contexts affect and are affected by group behavior, helping the reader to organize and to extend their understanding of contextual phenomena.

This text meets the requirements of managers, leaders and students in managing people in contemporary and changing contexts.

Use with caution.......2003-03-29
This book is an edited collection of readings, most of which pertain to human resource management (HRM). A strength of the book is that it is structured along the lines of an HRM process model, including major sections on inputs (external and internal contexts of HRM), processes (classic HRM functions), and outcomes (employee attitudes, entry, turnover, and performance). Not a bad way for students to think of HRM. Whereas the editors suggest the book can serve as a stand-alone text for an HRM course, I do not recommend that (at least not for undergraduate HRM students) because it lacks some of the technical detail a stand-alone HRM text requires, and it contains no exercises, learning aids, etc. It is better suited as a supplemental readings text, but should be applied with caution because some of the chapters are non-academic or poorly written. Furthermore, many of the chapters are rife with poor grammar, missing punctuation, and so forth, such that they represent poor exemplars of proper writing for college students (the editors clearly laid down on this aspect of the book).
Book Description
The book connects the technical world of personnel administration with the political world of policy making. Reflecting contemporary political and managerial realities, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of the values, conflicts, political processes, and management techniques which provide the context for personnel administration in the public sector. For anyone interested in Public Personnel Management or Human Resources Management.

Book Description
This book provides cutting edge research and knowledge and an academic study of the impact of globalization in different areas affecting management and how management is responding. It gives a comprehensive analysis of what is actually happening and likely future trends. It is not just a focus on "convergence" arguments, but integrates a broader view of still remaining regional and national differences in management and organization. The book draws on new theoretical approaches in the field of international business, highlighting areas such as Anglo-German subsidiaries of MNCs, HRM practices and change management processes or employment relations in US-based MNCs in Europe and many other aspects.
