Produktbeschreibung
The increasing number of cross-border alliances and mergers both within Europe and between Europe and other parts of the world have made it imperative for students of management to have a thorough understanding of the European context for human resource management (HRM). This book enables managers and students to become "fluent" in the many various environments, approaches and practices that exist across Europe for managing human resources.

The text employs comprehensive comparable representative data collected longitudinally during the last decade and it also draws directly on the expertise of leading HRM scholars. Entirely fresh analyses of HRM in Europe, based on new and hitherto unpublished data are presented and this analysis is critically important for students, researchers and also for practitioners.

The book is divided into three parts: concepts and theoretical issues , trends in relation to these issues and comparisons between individual countries, and summaries and conclusions on the issue of convergence and divergence.

Rezensionen
This is an excellent book that provides the reader, academic and professional alike, with a wealth of highly credible information about human resource management in a wide-variety of European countries. All of the contributors are country experts and well recognized in the field of human resource management. As such they offer the reader many interesting insights about their specific countries. The editors in turn then lend their considerable years of expertise analyzing them in order to offer their own insights into the central thesis of the book: Is there evidence of convergence in HRM in Europe or not?

"This book is an enormously useful resource for the researcher and practitioner,as well as for students of European HR. It is difficult to imagine that thereis an HR manager -or indeed, an interested european general reader- who will not find something of value here".

(Jaime Bonache, Profesor Titular of HR at
Universidad Carlos III of Madrid, Spain).

'There has been a surge of interest in international HRM as the impact of globalisation is being felt on the way people are managed. This book is a very welcome and much needed addition to the body research and literature on IHRM. It addresses key issues for HRM in Europe and it's focus on a thorough evidence based approach means it goes beyond simplistic analysis. Its in depth country comparisons leads to concrete insights into current practice and provides a thorough context for IHRM in Europe for students and practitioners alike.'
