Description

Understand how to support the successful running of an international business through HR practices which respond to global and local contexts and reflect a changing broader landscape. Essentials of International Human Resource Management is a concise and applied textbook which explores key HR strategies and approaches for a range of types of organizations as more than ever operate at an international level. Covering key topics including core HR functional areas, expatriation and repatriation, managing cultural differences and equality, diversity and inclusion, it also explores how relevant political, socio-economic, technological and cultural contexts impact on international HR. Essentials of International Human Resource Management also examines international employment relations, employment law and mergers and acquisitions, as well as cutting-edge topics lacking from some other texts, including CSR, emotional and cultural intelligence and work-life balance and the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. Focussing on both established and emerging economies and drawing on the author's industry experience of senior HR roles in several multinational companies across the globe, case study examples include BAE Systems and Changan Ford. With in-text features including learning outcomes, key concept boxes and activities as well as online resources consisting of PowerPoint lecture slides, self-test questions and further resource and video links, this is an essential resource for masters level and upper undergraduate students of international HRM.
