There is a section of cases that requires the reader to apply human resource knowledge and principles to practical situations. The cases include questions which require either interpretation of legal issues, the application of interpersonal skills, or value judgments concerning appropriate courses of action. The major issues discussed are motivation, compensation, physical environment, separation and legal, social, and labor issues.About the AuthorKenneth A.
