Both classical theories and the most recent research go hand-in-hand, allowing us to trace the historical evolution as well as current and future developments in the field.The second part of the book, International Assignments and Employment Practices, shows how the theoretical considerations are put into practice in multinational companies, looking at how they manage their workforce around the world and the challenges they face. In the book you will find many up-to-date practical examples, including Uber’s regulatory challenges across Europe, the gig economy, the role of employment rights after Brexit, health insurance for part-timers in the U.S. And the E.U., how to attract and retain ‘millennials’, the world’s happiest and unhappiest countries, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Hong Kong.Finally, the third part of the book, IHRM Policies and Practices, looks more specifically at both traditional and newer approaches to IHRM policies and practices. Be it policies on global training and development, global performance management, or diversity and CSR policies, these chapters can be a great source of inspiration for any practitioner in the field.In editing the book, we strived to ensure a high standard of intellectual content and make this content accessible.

To that end, I believe the 5 th edition serves as a comprehensive textbook for students and instructors, as a research handbook for scholars, and as a source of practical ideas and solutions for practitioners. In other words, why don’t you just sit back and read? Related blogposts. All rights reserved. Page last modified on Fri 9 Aug 2019 19:10B.
