Features: The "Human Resource Management" (5th Edition) edited by Professor Raymond A. Noe and others from Ohio University is a highly valuable textbook in the field of human resources, long favored by Chinese readers. The value of this book is reflected in:
● All four authors are renowned experts in the field of human resources, and this book is compiled based on their extensive research, teaching, and consulting experience in various aspects. This collaborative textbook writing model gives the book an unparalleled advantage in depth and breadth compared to other similar textbooks.
● Human resource management is the key to business success. This book elaborates in detail on the functions of human resource management and how it helps businesses gain competitive advantages.
● The book discusses new issues in the field of human resources, such as electronic human resource management, attracting and retaining talented employees, workforce diversity, and the use of team-based work methods, which are highly beneficial for business operations and human resource management practices.
● The book integrates strategic human resource management throughout. While emphasizing the completeness of the theoretical framework, the authors cite numerous examples from top-tier companies, enriching readers' intuitive understanding. The adapted version of the book believes that for Chinese enterprises to excel in human resource management, they must understand the fundamental principles of human resource management and master the basic methods of thinking about human resource management issues, rather than blindly relying on so-called international practices. Based on this starting point, the adapters refined the parts of the original book that reflect the commonality of human resource management and deleted the sections that only introduce U.S.-specific practices, presenting this concise adapted version to readers. The book is adapted by Professor Liu Xin from the School of Labor and Human Resources at Renmin University of China. It is highly suitable as a bilingual textbook for undergraduate education in economic management, as well as for MBA and EMBA related courses. It can also serve as a reference book for human resource practitioners.
