Cases and Exercises in Human Resource Management
Author: George E E Stevens
A supplemental casebook for human resource management courses, Cases and Exercises in Human Resource Management has also been used in human resource topics courses. The appeal of Stevens is that it presents a set of short and medium length realistic cases and in-basket exercises in one inexpensive book. Stevens provides current material that applies the theories and research findings in personnel, so instructors who like to use supplemental cases do not have to research extra material for class discussion.
