Each chapter begins with an introductory vignette (short case) that exemplifies the core issues to be discussed in the chapter. The vignette is referred to later in the chapter as the topic is developed. This approach is designed to make the reader immediately aware of how the knowledge can be applied. This device is in addition to end-of-chapter cases, which are used to reinforce concepts presented. Each chapter closes with a set of discussion questions designed to reinforce and/or apply key points in the chapter.

"Essentials of International Human Resource Management: Managing
People Globally is a must-read for anyone studying or
managing human talent in a global context. Written by leading experts in
the field, this book should be on the bookshelf of anyone needing cutting-edge
knowledge in international human resource management."
"This is a timely book delivering what it says in the title: essentials of IHRM. Its contextualized perspective gives it a unique flavor. A must read for students and practitioners of IHRM alike."
“Adopting a truly global perspective, Essentials of International Human Resource Management by Thomas and Lazarova, provides a first rate account of the anatomy of this evolving field. In incorporating insights garnered from international, comparative and cross-cultural lenses, the authors unearth the explanatory power of contextualism and demonstrate the true value of a ‘levels of analysis’ approach. Illustrative case studies serve to augment the theoretical material making it an indispensable resource for any student of IHRM.”
A very general approach to IHRM. I would like to see more case studies.
A comprehensive and relevant book that helps in facilitating a more grounded and global understanding of existing challenges in the field IHRM
I would have adopted this textbook for my May 2014 course if there were supplementary materials for the instructor. I plan to use this textbook in another HR related course where I will have time to prepare my own instructor materials in advance.
This is a book a global HRM manager as well as a lecturer or a researcher should have in his bag or in the library in a HE institution. It deals with all the pertinent issues and subject theory in details in the context of interconnected global business place.
