Praise for the previous edition:'To have the right staff at the right time is a safe recipe for business success. Although this is easier said than done the second edition of International Human Resource Management provides the appropriate tools to achieve just that. The book brings together highly relevant perspectives on the effective management of human resources on a global scale by two internationally renowned scholars on the leading edge of research and practice. This fully updated new edition should be mandatory reading for any student and practitioner of international business.' - Jan Selmer, Hong Kong Baptist University
'Briscoe and Schuler have created the benchmark by which other HRM texts will be measured.' - Wayne Cascio, University of Colorado, Denver, USA
