"I like the idea of taking the students to the next level by applying the concepts through critical thinking. I was impressed with the authors’ presentation and style. I think the text reads easily for a student that is new to the discipline and it is not overly simplified for experienced students that are refreshing their skills. I am a visual learner and I like the charts and diagrams presented. The exercises provided give practical insight into everyday situations.”(Roxanne Roske 2011-10-28)“Beautiful layout invites reader interest—superb graphics, learning aids, self-assessments; excellent theory and research bases; excellent readability, with thorough explanation of terms and concepts; superior chapter on a difficult topic of performance appraisal.”(Larry K.
