| Book Description | In the face of globalization, multinational companies have become the norm, rather than the exception. HR professionals now need to manage across borders, cultures and time zones, meaning that a complete understanding of the theory and practice of International Human Resource Management (HRM) is essential. International Human Resource Management is a concise introduction for all students studying International HRM at the Masters level. It covers everything from the cultural and institutional contexts, international employment law and the role of International Framework Agreements to recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, reward and benefits, job design and other functional areas of International HRM.With numerous industry examples and global case studies from companies such as Telefonica, Unilever and Volkswagen, International Human Resource Management goes beyond the theory to fully explore how International HRM works in practice. It is an indispensable textbook to prepare students for successful careers in human resources. Online supporting resources include additional case studies, lecture slides for every chapter, self-test exercises for students, discussion questions and further reading. |
| Editorial Review | This book effectively points out the key challenges for today's global HR teams and provides some very useful frameworks.--Cate Prescott, VP Global HR, National Instruments "A brilliant read for anyone learning and involving in international human resources management. The breadth and depth of this book offers a valuable compass for HR leaders sensibly navigating an increasingly interdependent world. The real-life case studies and reflective questions makes this book a great companion to both teaching fellows and learners."--Carrian Leung, Adjunct Lecturer, University of Hong Kong - School of Professional and Continuing Education (HKUSPACE), Hong Kong "The world is getting not only flat, but also more and more inter-linked. Going global is no more a choice, but a must, for corporates who want to continuously flourish and strengthen competitive edges. This book provides a full spectrum on very practical Human Resources Management theories, tools and easy to digest cases for those executives who operate business internationally."--Bob Xie, Founder and Principal Consultant, Bozan Consulting Limited, P.R China "About 12 years ago I was charged with the responsibility to facilitate the establishment of business operations from the HR perspective in the uncharted water of foreign cities. The difficulties I encountered both within and without were tremendous and I felt I was not well equipped to deal with all the challenges. This comprehensive book does not just deal with day to day operational matters like recruitment, there are sufficient depth and strategic vision in various chapters like the one on Leadership to inspire organization development initiatives. I wish I had this book then."--Weymond HW Lam, Former General Manager - Human Resources, China State Construction International Holdings Ltd. |
