Increased foreign direct investment across the world and the trend for operating across national borders means that employers have to deal with the demands of managing people in different national contexts and to develop human resource management (HRM) policies and practices that are appropriate for their specific location. These demands require an understanding of how HRM policies and practices may differ across countries and how the development of management practice may be affected by different institutional and cultural contexts. This volume, compiled of contributions from a range of well-respected HRM scholars worldwide, offers such an understanding and is based upon data from a unique research project, Cranet, that have been collected from more than 40 countries and over a period of 23 years.
