How to Measure Human Resource Management by Fitz-Enz, Jac

Very similar to 5th edition
I ordered this textbook because the course I was taking was written on this edition (4th) and college bookstore shipped the 5th edition. Both editions are similar however some of the "non-necessary" jargon and text was taken out of the 5th edition so having this edition made my course a success. There is a Case Study in the 4th edition that does not appear in the 5th so for other students looking for that Case Study I am sure the college got many emails. I had it all as I had both editions.

I have been using this textbook as a guide for my MBA studies. I found it very useful in that it clearly explains and organizes almost every important topic about HR management. It gives practical clues on the kind of considerations a manager needs to be aware in day-to-day operation.

I used this book to find basic, straightforward ideas about HR principles and how this function is changing in the era of globalization. This way, I could use it to organize my own ideas, and if needed, using the enclosed bibliography, I could go to more specialized books on a particular topic of interest.
