Summary:
Unlocking Business is a new kind of textbook for business students in their first and second year of a degree. Unlocking Human Resource Management provides the following benefits:

- Strict coverage of key knowledge, concepts and ideas, keeping the title lean and focused and allowing students to find what they want without having to plough through thousands of pages.

- Carefully written for the learner - case studies, exercises and seminar ideas are woven into the text to help students learn as quickly as possible and to retain that knowledge in the most time-efficient way.

- Encourages good practice such as complete referencing and suggested wider reading, to help those who wish to obtain the best possible degree classification.

- Useful web resources include further case studies, revision summaries and interactive multiple-choice quizzes at http://www.hodderplus.co.uk/unlockingbusiness

- A cost-effective way to prepare students for their studies.

• Learning material rather than reference material to help students make the transition to undergraduate level
• Focus on key knowledge to ensure excellent value for money
