Book Description
The new edition of this highly successful and groundbreaking text continues to cover key topics in International Human Resource Management while increasing coverage of emerging theory and issues in this area. Globalization of business is forcing managers to grapple with complex issues as they seek to gain or sustain a competitive advantage. Faced with unprecedented levels of foreign competition at home and abroad firms are beginning to recognize not only that international business is high on top management's list of priorities but that finding and nurturing the human resources required to implement an international or global strategy is of critical importance. The role of human resource management in this complex, ever-changing world is central to this book.

International Human Resource Management: Managing People in a Multinational Context

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Written by authors with real international experience, this current and comprehensive resource contains extensive international research and examples without losing its appeal to a U.S. audience. This text focuses on the choices that confront multinational enterprises in international human resource management and factors to consider in making those choices.

SYNOPSIS

Designed for senior undergraduates and postgraduates in international business or human resource management courses, Dowling (U. of Canberra) and Welch's (Mt. Eliza Business School and U. of Queensland) textbook addresses the role of human resource management (HRM) in sustaining international business. No longer a part of the discontinued International Dimensions of Business Series, the text has undergone significant restructuring. The third edition includes new materials on staffing approaches in international assignments, the key roles played by expatriates and international business travelers, and subsidiary management and HRM issues; teaching cases and exercises, a website instructor's guide, teaching aids, and other supplementary materials.
