Now in its seventh edition, International Human Resource Management is established as a market leader that caters to students worldwide. This textbook has developed alongside the field – helping to shape what it is today – and remains a leading International Human Resources Management (IHRM) textbook worldwide. International Human Resource Management provides an academic overview of global IHRM, whilst still remaining close to curriculum developments. This textbook also contains nine in-depth case studies written by the authors and global experts, that provide a range of in-depth applications for all of the major functional areas of IHRM.

  • This textbook provides a useful balance between the scope of topics covered and the depth of coverage.
  • Modern coverage of the MNE environment - not limited to an outmoded focus on cross-national/expatriate issues like other texts in the field.
  • Numerous case studies provide basis for class discussion.
  • One of the first IHRM textbooks to introduce modern pedagogical features.
  • Adherence to the latest key issues in the field with each new edition.
  • A new end-of-book in-depth case study on developing local talent in local markets.
  • Updates made throughout to ensure the most recent studies are referenced and reflected in the recommended further reading.
