This book discusses a wide span of topics in HR and social sciences. This includes massive topics of theory and related concepts, models and references. Although some examples from practice are listed, further links to business examples with evaluation of options and results of made choices will definetly improve the readers' experience. HR employees and social scientists may find a lot of use for the ideas listed on this book.
A very well laid out text, with everything, including futher references, which you will need. A bit longer than necessary, though. It could have been condensed in many parts, where it stated the obvious.
Had the pleasure to be a student of the author of the book.The book itself is very well structured, clear and interesting. Overall, it was a great start in my academic reading for Business and Management.
