Editorial Reviews

"The sixth edition of International Human Resource Management, written by world class scholars, continues to set the standard for texts in the area. It is comprehensive in its coverage and critically examines the complexities of managing people across borders. The book deepens and extends our knowledge of the field providing new insights, up-to-date cases from across the globe and a valuable update on emerging issues in the field reflecting recent changes in the global business environment. I highly recommend the book which will continue to enlighten academics, students and practictioners across the globe for years to come." Hugh Scullion, Hull University Business School, University of Hull, UK

"Organizations that ‘go international’, face a number of strategic choices, many of which involve people. HR strategy in all its dimensions must therefore complement and support the broader business strategy. That is a key theme in this sixth edition of International Human Resource Management, and the authors use theory, research, and lots of practical examples to show how to do that at HQ as well as at local levels. If you are looking for current theory and practice in IHRM, consider this book a 'go-to' resource." Wayne Cascio, University of Colorado, USA

"This provides the perfect compendium of knowledge for today’s practitioner working in international context. The editions have charted IHRM for nearly 30 years. Now we in the post-pandemic era of globalization there is no place to hide. Global business is changing shape. This book lays out the new strategic, national, and cultural context and brings together what we know about each of the key HR processes under the banner of global talent management." Paul Sparrow, Lancaster University Management School, UK

"Written by three of the leading scholars in the area, the volume is distinguished by its combination of insights from academic research and rich insights into IHRM in practice. It is comprehensive, accessible, and authoritative, and should be required reading for any student or reflective practitioner of IHRM." David Collings, Dublin City University, Ireland
