Reviews
“This book is a valuable and up-to-date contribution to the literature in the field of International HRM. It will surely appeal to both academics and students, as well as practitioners.” – Professor Malcolm Warner, Emeritus Fellow, Wolfson College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
“This volume brings together a very impressive list of topics and authors from the field of international HRM. The chapters are diverse in their coverage (from expatriate commitment to MNC applicant attraction, and from Chinese companies in Australia to HRM in Thailand, to name but a few), but share the common theme of understanding the internationalization of how people are managed globally. Concluding with future directions for IHRM research, the book opens new discussions in the field to which scholars are invited to respond.” – Professor Elaine Farndale, Center Director, Center for International Human Resource Studies, Pennsylvania State University
The volume will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners who would like to know the leading edge of research and practice in international management, human resource management and cultural and institutional factors influencing multinationals’ operation in the global marketplace.
