Teachers and students ultimately determine the value of any university textbook. Canadian Human Resource
Management: A Strategic Approach is no exception. Its tenth edition passed the test of the marketplace by earning
adoptions and re-adoptions in more than sixty colleges and universities in Canada and becoming the best-selling
human resource management text in this country. The book?s thrust on presenting the key concepts, issues,
and practices of this exciting field without being encyclopedic; its practical focus; and its emphasis on readability
have endeared it to hundreds of instructors and thousands of students in Canada. Equally gratifying to the authors
is that a large number of students retained this book for their professional libraries after course completion,
suggesting that they found real value in the book.
Balanced Coverage
We attribute the book?s popularity to its balanced coverage of both theory and practice, and both traditional
materials and emerging concerns. Regardless of their orientation, readers will sense our belief that people are the
ultimate resource for any employer. How well an organization obtains, maintains, and retains its human resources
determines its success or failure. And the success or failure of our organizations shapes the well-being of every
individual on this planet. If the events of the last decade are any indication, the human race is entering a totally
new phase in its evolution. The breakup of protectionist trade barriers and ideological walls that separate
countries of the world may mean that the manager of the twenty-first century has to operate in a more complex
and dynamic global setting that is also much more interdependent. Training in human resource management
(HRM) will become even more critical in this new setting.
