"Managing the Haman Factor is an excellent analytical history of the early twentieth-century emergence and development of human resource management as a distinct management function and profession that also identifies and provides a convincing story about three founders of this specialty field."-David Lewin, Neil H. Jacoby Professor of Management, Human Resources and Organizational Behavior, UCLA Anderson School of Management
"This book is a must-read for anyone in the field of strategic human resource management and industrial relations. It documents the precursors of today's strategic HR, showing that the field has much earlier roots than previously thought. Many of today's corporate HR 'innovations' have deep historical precedents. Bruce Kaufman's volume is both easily accessible and exhaustive-its strong overview chapters are punctuated by rich case studies of major U.S. corporations since the late nineteenth century, and it provides excellent material for undergraduate and graduate courses in our field."-Rose Batt, Cornell University
