NEW! Six Major Changes to Keep Your Course Current & Relevant. The author has edited and revised the text to make it even more effective. The following six changes can be found in this edition:

1. NEW! Evidence-based human resource management theme. All managers must be able defend their HR plans and contributions in measurable terms, which is why this text now includes an evidence-based theme woven throughout. Specifically, the “Manager’s Role in Strategic Human Resource Management” chapter has been edited to include new material and a new appendix on using tools for evidence-based HR. Also, a new boxed feature, Evidence-Based HR, appears in most chapters to present examples, facts, and evidence.
2. NEW! Managing HR in Challenging Times features. This text now contains a new-boxed feature, Managing HR in Challenging Times, to show students a snapshot of the skills that managers need to persevere in today’s challenging economy. 
3. New! Chapter on Managing Human Resources in Entrepreneurial Firms. To cater to the fact that most students may one day work for a small business, the new Chapter 18, “Managing Human Resources in Entrepreneurial Firms,” contains special topics concerning managing human resources in smaller firms. 
4. New! Suggested Competencies from The Society for Human Resource Management. Recently, The Society for Human Resource Management listed several new suggested competencies that human resource managers should be aware, and capable, of. These competencies include “The Managers Role in Strategic Human Resource Management” and “Coaching, Careers and Talent Management,” both of which are addressed and covered in this text. 
5. New! HR APPS 4 U. The new HR APPS 4 U feature contains brief illustrations that show how managers use mobile devices to support their activities.   This new in-text feature reflects the latest issues in HR today. 
6. NEW! Streamlined for better efficiency. Even with an extra chapter, the twelfth edition has been carefully streamlined by removing any outdated and/or irrelevant material.

Other Topics of Distinction:

Managing HR activities in small businesses. Because most Americans work or have worked for a small business, this text doesn’t only speak to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Intended for line and small-business managers, the When You’re On Your Own sections within each chapter help students understand how HR-related activities could affect a manager in an entrepreneurial workplace. Examples include:

• How to recruit and train new employees when their HR department is too busy to help.
• How to avoid committing management malpractice.
• How to effectively address the possibility of terrorist threats.

• How managers use applicant-tracking systems to compile web-based resumes.
• How they are able to prescreen applicants online.
• What needs to be done in order to discover candidates’ hidden talents.

• Disclosure and authorization.
• Certification. 
• Providing copies of reports. 
• Notice of adverse action.
