Bingham produces a structured text with applied learning embedded in the philosophy and the writing style of this text. Learning is facilitated through the strategic placement of short exercises/revision exercises, "News Flashes", case short studies and review questions, culminating in a "relevant Articles" aimed at independent learning. The structured interjection of these bit-sized learning activities helps to deliver what can be, to most students, a very "dry" topic of Employment Relations. The text is adopted for Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Work-based Learning programs and Apprenticeships.
