Compensation Management in a Knowledge-Based World (10th Edition)
Reviews:

starsOutdated but - As Yet, Nothing Better
I assign this as one of two textbooks in teaching Compensation Administration in graduate school.

While it has undergone 9 revisions, the attempts to update it to today's compensation world are not adequate. Far too little is here concerning internet usage, for example.

But perhaps its greatest shortcoming is in its glancing treatment of group incentive plans as a key means to unlock workforce potential. It is a glaring and unforgivable gap.

If anybody out there knows of a better fundamental compensation textbook, I'd love to hear about it.


starsBest of the textbooks
Confronted to the other main handbook outside here, particularly the book see again better "from the m." this is by far most useful. When I must find qualche.cosa of practical, as the federal system of appraisal as an example, or the multiple linear regression like tool of job appraisal, 95% of the time is in Henderson and is documented much good. Both these subjects are touch to you to mala pain over in the other main witnesses who moreover possess. From a type with a Ph.D. and 30 years of payment of my invoices with the information of the comp., diami Henderson all the day.


starsPainful!
There is nothing practical about this book. It is a looooong, purely theoretical torture with only a few examples that don't work too well in the real world. I had to buy it for one of my graduate classes and here I am three months later even more clueless than I was when I started. This book is very boring, painful to read. It doesn't help that the author is clearly biased in favor of traditional HRM and refuses to give much room to more modern thinking. The exercise book is a nightmare. The exercises are either impossibly difficult and time-consuming because the textbook does not offer valuable guidance for any practical problems, or they are an absolute waste of time - students basically have to copy a chapter. I could go on like this forever. In a nutshell: buy this book if you have to, but sell it as soon as you can.


starsUninformative Drivel!
This text was a quagmire of unreadable editorial comments! I purchased this book for a Human Resource class. I gained more knowledge from my fellow students than I did from this book. Defiantely skip it!
