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. <b><i>International Human Resource Management</i></b> 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. <p/>With numerous industry examples and global case studies from companies such as Telefonica, Unilever and Volkswagen, <b><i>International Human Resource Management</i></b> 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A brilliant read for anyone learning and involving in international human resources management.
