This book still applying your knowledge cases and exercises still appear in each chapter, and although many of the chapter-opening vignettes (Human Resource Management in Action) retain the same titles, I have updated each one to reflect current information and content. As in the previous edition, I have boldfaced key terms as they are discused in the text and included a consolidated list of them at the end of each chapter. A glossary at the back of the book also helps students to locate definitions of important terms quickly.
A final consideration is the treatment of international issues. While there are merits to including a separate chapter on this topic, as well as interspersing international content in each chapter, I do not see this as an either-or matter. I have done both, recognizing the need to frame domestic HR issues in a global context. At the same time, the book covers international issues in more depth in a separate chaoter.
