Details

International Human Resource Management offers coverage of international, comparative and cross-cultural HRM. Ideal for students taking this subject for the first time or studying in their second language, this title balances theory with cases and examples from across the globe. Its wealth of contributors providing expert knowledge of specific countries and regions makes this a truly international text. 

It combines three approaches of study: 

International - theme focused (resourcing, talent in an international context), 

Comparative - country focused (India and HRM, China and HRM) and 

Cross-cultural - linking HR to wider organisation (leadership in international context).

Reviews

An ambitious and valuable addition to existing IHRM literature, providing comprehensive coverage of current HR issues and an impressive geographic range. Well structured with accessible writing style, critical discussion of issues and many opportunities for student activity and reflection. 

- Margaret Masson, Chartered FCIPD Lecturer in HRM, Glasgow Caledonian Business School 


Great input, with international HR identity. A book which approaches International HRM beyond western countries' HR developments and practices. 

- Sandy Drossou, Chartered MCIPD, Senior Lecturer in HRM, Sunderland Business School 


Due to the fact that the text will encompass OB issues also, it will have an edge over current texts in the field. 

- Susan Kirk, Nottingham Business School 



That the book will explore global organisational behaviour perspectives is exciting news... I would 
be happy to use this text across both U/G and P/G levels. 

- Lynne Powell, Newcastle Business School 


The authors are highly authoritative in the field... The proposed volume would certainly 
constitute a welcome addition. 

- Graham Hollinshead, Hertfordshire Business School 


The main attraction that sets this text apart is its focus on individual and group levels of analysis, 
which draws on OB and cross-cultural themes, for an insightful examination of very important 
topics. 

- David Walsh, Chartered MCIPD, Nottingham Trent Business School
