Description
The new edition of Readings and Cases in International Human Resource Management examines the interactions between people, cultures, and human resource systems in a wide variety of regions throughout the world.
Taking account of recent developments in the international human resources management (IHRM) field, the sixth edition will enable students to meet the international challenges they will face in the workforce, and sensitize them to the complexity of human resource issues in the era of globalization.
Features include:
New readings and case studies that account for recent changes in the field, positioned alongside "tried and true" material.
An increased focus on cross-cultural diversity and tools to bridge "social distance" between team members.
Supplemental material and teaching notes, available for download, to enhance instructors' abilities to use the readings and cases with their students.
With well-known contributors and field experts, this is the ideal accompaniment for any class in international human resource management, organizational studies, or international business.
