- The concepts of "industrial relations" (or "labour relations") and "employee share ownerhsip" could be added
- References may be more oriented to academic literature sources (guiding students to further readings...)
- There is a slight cultural bias on UK (e.g., CIPD, statutory bodies)

The text provides principles and practice in simple way. This test is good for the beginners in HRM. The content of the text is easy to understand for the Japanese students.
