International HRM is an essential text for students of international management and human resource management in an international context. The book provides a comprehensive account and critique of human resource management from a mainly cross-cultural perspective, and explains theories relevant to the day to day decision-making activities of real managers, within the context of actual companies and different cultures. Each chapter provides real-life cases from a huge range of countries, while also equipping the student with a section on management implications of the various models discussed. Sample questions and useful pointers for further research and understanding are also supplied throughout the text.
