This book is a bunch of separate pieces about HRM. It’s not a complete nor recent manual. It’s obvious it has been augmented as years have passed by, but not reviewed to form a real manual up-to-date with the state of the art. Specially, chapter 21 about organizational culture is absolutely obsolete.
It’s not worth the price.

I’d rate this book a must have for anyone who is remotely involved in HRM. Line managers and supervisors will be well advised to keep the book handy. It is a handbook you can dip into and get a quick introduction to any subject related to Human Resources Management. It may not cover some topics in depth as one would like but it captures the essence and key ideas about the topics. It is indeed a classic. For those who may be looking for something hands-on, you wish to look at Mr Armstrong’s other book, “How to be an Even Better Manager”, which is a complete A-Z of proven and essential skills. With the two books, you should have a fairly good grasp of HRM matters.

Human resources professionals will find Michael Armstrong’s book practical, helpful and relevant. It discusses all facets of current practice, including such relatively new developments as e-learning and recruiting, and it discusses how you can help your organization implement change. The book would make an excellent college text, since it covers HRM’s evolution, principles, theories, practice, research, job descriptions and more. The author seems to have two goals: to provide comprehensive information about human resource management and to persuade upper level managers to integrate HRM into strategic planning. This would empower HR departments to generate broader organizational results. To get the most from this manual, given its textbook style, practitioners may wish to study it chapter by chapter. Since organizational philosophies, functions and practices differ, it even lends itself to further discussion when HRM professionals gather to share ideas and swap proven practices. We think those in the field will derive a great deal of value from this book.
