International Human Resource Management succeeds in maintaining the
academic rigour and critical focus that have established its
reputation as the most authoritative and cutting-edge text in the
field. Positioning itself firmly within the 'globalized'
environment, it provides wide-ranging and truly international
coverage driven by the expertise of a writing team comprised of
internationally renowned experts. New to the Third Edition: -
Completely revised and restructured to better match international
HRM courses. - New chapters include: social responsibility,
sustainability and diversity, comparative HRM and approaches to
IHRM. - 'Country-focus' boxed feature comparing and
contrasting issues in different countries. - Further international
examples and case studies. - Each chapter ends with stimulating
discussion questions and self-assessment questions to encourage
students to test their knowledge. - A companion website with
instructors' manual and free full-text journal articles and
additional case material for students. `The Third Edition of
International Human Resource Management is a comprehensive guide
for today's IHRM researchers, students, and practitioners. It
covers not only traditional IHRM topics such as expatriate
selection and the implications of cultural differences, but also
advances our understanding of topics that have gained importance
recently such as strategic IHRM and international total rewards
programs. As a text, it has the advantage of including chapters
covering each of the major topics in IHRM carefully chosen and
orchestrated by an excellent editing team and written by leading
specialists in each topic. The inclusion of discussion questions
for students and instructor materials makes it a student-friendly
instructional resource' - Mark F. Peterson Professor of
