Reviews

The new edition of International HRM makes readers think critically and reflect upon some taken-for-granted assumptions and controversies in the field. The greater emphasis on institutional influences on HRM is a timely and valuable contribution to the current debates in comparative and international HRM.

Dana B. Minbaeva, MBA, Ph.D., Associate Professor in Strategic HRM, Department of Strategic Management and Globalization, Head of the Ph.D. School in Economics and Management, Copenhagen Business School

`The culture part is great! This is critical because of the depth in which it covers international culture, particularly in comparison to other IHRM which do not provide sufficient detail. I also like the way that culture is embedded within the performance management chapter. There are also an interesting range of case studies and it is good to see the geographical diversity in them; other texts often rely on China and USA for most of their cases.'
