Make human resources work for you. STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT shows you how through its unique system of concept integration. Most human resources textbooks give you the theories without showing you the connections to real life. This textbook lets you see both sides of human resources: the theory and the application. That way, you will not only get a great grade in class, you will be on your way to success after college as well.
Mello writes a great introduction to the concept of Strategic Human Resource Management and has tons of case study examples, which is what makes this book valuable.
Unfortunately, Mello's writing in each chapter is fairly short and journal articles comprise the bulk of each chapter. It would have been nicer to have read more of Mello's interpretation of each concept with only one journal article to support his topic. Reading the journal articles is what detracted from this volume. Since it is an older edition, I am sincerely hoping that this part has changed.
