Applied Data Communications or Organizational Success through Effective Human Resources Management

Applied Data Communications: A Business-Oriented Approach

Author: James E Goldman

This book provides frameworks and methodology for solving problems as technology continues to advance. A "top-down" approach is used, starting with the overall business problem, and then showing how technology can solve the problem. This book goes into depth in describing the technology and is very "hands-on" and current. It is designed for the IT employees who actually build networks and not the managers who merely oversee.

Organizational Success through Effective Human Resources Management

Author: Ronald R R Sims

Not only are performance and human resources management (HRM) bound tightly together, but Sims even goes so far as to say that the way people are managed in coming decades will be the most important determinant of organizational success. He shows how success is determined by a firm's skill in attracting, developing, and retaining its human capital; how a firm's people are what give it a measurable advantage over the competition; and how an organization's commitment to developing its people's abilities and skills is an obligation at all levels. Sims focuses on practical, real-world human resources problems and activities emphasize the need for managers to prove themselves excellent people managers as well, and covers the traditional HRM tasks and responsibilities in ways that will give them new meaning and urgency. His book is essential for managers and executives throughout the organization, and indeed throughout the entire economy.
