  • 1.  Recommendation for MBA level HR textbook

    Posted 11-27-2008 14:50
    Dear OB colleagues,

    before I make a move I cannot undo I thought I should plow this caring and informing network regarding recommendations for a modern HT textbook that ideally:

    • Available in English
    • Would stress the strategy orientation of HR
    • incorporate organizational behaviour highlights
    • would have an eye on the HR needs in emerging markets, developing countries of whatever you wish to call them.
    Many thanks,

    Alfredo

    Hi Alfredo,

     

    I have adopted the book by Gary Dessler (Pearson) and found it very comprehensive and useful for MBA level participants.

     

    All the best!!!

    Alfredo:

    Having just reviewed several HR books for a graduate level Industrial/Organizational Psych course, I would agree that the Dessler seems to be a good choice.  I had been teaching in an MBA program and would have selected it for those students as well.

    Hi Alfredo,
     
    Another good text is: Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright (2008). Fundamentals of Human Resource Management, published by McGraw Hill. You will, of course, need to supplement it with some strategic HR readings.
     
    Good luck!

    Alfredo,

     

    I have used a text in International Human Resource Management by Dowling, Festing and Engle ((Thomson/South-Western).  But there is no much reference to emerging markets.  My students did some fact-finding  for HR practices in some emerging markets.

     

    Espero que te ayude!

     

    Saludos,

  • 6.  Recommendation for MBA level HR textbook

    Posted 12-05-2008 03:09

    Dear Colleagues

     

    Answering to the query posted by Alfredo for an HR book in English on emerging markets.

     

    You may like to see the book which is  recently published (25th Nov 08)

     

    Changing Face of People Management in India, publishers, Routledge, UK- A research & case based book.

     

    The book is featured on the Routledge website at www.routledge.com

     

    Description of : The Changing Face of People Management in India

    India has been identified as one of the biggest emerging markets in the world. Indian organizations have increasingly begun to understand the importance of human resources and have started to take into account the motivation, commitment and morale of its workforce. Despite great advances in human resource practices in India, the relevant literature on this subject remains scarce. This book seeks to fill the critical gap in the literature by providing a thorough understanding of the changing face of Indian HRM systems. Seeking to provide a comprehensive overview of Indian HRM practices, the book is structured into five parts: Developments in Indian HRM; Determinants of Indian HRM; Sector specific HRM; Emerging themes; and, Future challenges and the way forward. "The Changing Face of People Management in India" is written exclusively by Indian natives in order to minimise the Western bias and to provide a realistic picture of HRM practices in India. This book is a key resource for anyone studying or working in HRM or international business or with an interest in the unique Indian HRM context.

    Aston Business School, UK.          Management Development Institute, India

    You may find the book useful for your students.

     

    Kind regards
