Human Relations

Laura Portolese


Laura Portolese’ goals in writing Human Relations were simple:

      • Provide a solid baseline of issues students will deal with in their careers on a day-to-day basis
      • Help students understand the importance of the human side of their career.

This textbook is suitable for these courses: Human Relations

This textbook is suitable for 2 and 4-year institutions.


PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES:

    • ENGAGING TONE AND EXAMPLES:

This book’s easy-to-understand language and tone is written to convey practical information in an engaging way. Every chapter opens with a realistic example which introduces a concept to be explained in detail later.

    • VARIED LEARNING FORMATS:

Each chapter contains relevant examples, YouTube videos, figures, learning objectives, key takeaways, exercises, and a chapter-ending case that offer different ways to promote learning.

    • PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT:

Many of the end-of-section exercises offer self-assessment quizzes, so students may engage in self-understanding and development.

    • CUSTOMIZABILITY:

The Flat World Knowledge publishing model allows instructors to adapt the textbook to the exact needs of their specific class and student body.
