E-Human Resources Management: Managing Knowledge People (Torres-Coronas, T. and Arias-Oliva, M., Eds.; 2005) [Book review

Abstract

The book's purpose is to present the evolution, innovations, and best practices of electronic human resources management (e-HRM) to human resources management researchers, faculty, practitioners, and consultants. Ten chapters are catalogued into one of four sections: "The Cutting-Edge in HRM," "Redesigning HR Administrative Processes," "E-Learning Strategies," and "Managing IT and Organizational Changes." Chapters are essentially scholarly articles, containing an abstract, introduction, a study, conclusions, and references. The text is easy to navigate because it displays effective visual design and uses visuals, such as graphs and charts. It is easy to read because the authors of each article clearly state, support, and delineate how technology and HRM are used in their work. The authors present compelling case studies and examples to support their claims. This book can serve as a reference for managers, researchers, and other HRM practitioners who are preparing for the future and trying to learn from the successes and challenges of other HRM organizations.
