International HRM and International Assignments

Both as a field of academic enquiry and a central tenet of international business, the field of International HRM it has witnessed significant development over the past decade. Inspired by the idea that this ever increasing internationalization of business brings into sharp focus the need to develop a more in-depth understanding of international HRM and its associated activities, this book brings together some of the leading authorities in this field. The chapters cover matters central to both our conceptualisation of international HRM as an area of enquiry and the practice of people management in a cross-cultural and increasingly globalized context.
