This comprehensive text provides excellent coverage of HRM developments across a range of countries. Each entry covers societal, macroeconomic and organisational characteristics of the countries being considered before key HRM topics are reviewed. This consistency of approach enables students to compare and contrast developments across societies in a clear, accessible way. Five integrative case studies provide scope to apply and develop understanding of key concepts and the text opens and closes with coverage of a number of critical and emerging issues relating to the management of people in an increasingly globalised world. Students at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level will find this to be a clear, lucid and valuable text for their studies in international HRM.
A very useful subsidiary text that takes a country by country approach to key management and HR issues with useful insights into the cultural differenes and challenges. It fits well with one of our assessment tasks in an IHRM module on MSc programme and the apporach is different to many texts which take a topic by topic approach.
