International Human Resource Management: An Integrated Approach (Paperback)

`This volume offers a very thorough and well-organized contrast and comparison of human resource management at the international level.... a gold mine of organized information for international instructors and students.... Highly recommended' - Choice

`Takes a truly international perspective on human resource management' - Employee Relations

`It is well thought out and might very well become a milestone; one of those books that shape the teaching and research agenda of the field' - Comparative Industrial Relations Newsletter

`Due to the careful selection, balancing, and organization of HRM-related topics, due to the extension of the argumentation beyond often-discussed problems and solutions related to the expatriation of (non)managers, and due to an integrated treatment of environment-, strategy-, structure-, human resources- and industrial relations-related matters there can be no doubt that the editors have made available a highly suitable introduction to the study of IHRM problems which can be interesting both for professors (in their role as academic teachers), students, and practitioners. Furthermore, it has to be emphasized that - in spite of the comparatively large number of authors - the book is much more than a simple collection of isolated papers. Quite the reverse - all of the chapters are edited carefully so that they fit into a holistic concept which is aligned with the general challenges of IHRM as they are relevant nowadays and as they are described above.... I cannot but recommend it very highly indeed to its audience' - Management International Review
