International Human Resource Management in Chinese Multinationals

"This book examines how Chinese MNEs manage their human resources, focusing in particular on their management abroad. Utilizing data from Chinese MNEs across several major industries, including banking, airlines, shipping, import and export, electronics and health products, it covers all the major issues in international human resource management (IHRM): international staffing, training and development, performance appraisal, reward and compensation, employee relations and the strategic integration of IHRM. The approaches of Chinese MNEs are also discussed in relation to Chinese domestic HRM. The book not only presents empirical evidence of Chinese IHRM policies and practices, but also conceptualizes them by considering the rationale for these policies and practices and the extent to which Chinese MNEs adopt contemporary IHRM concepts or are anchored to traditional personnel management. Implications are drawn from Chinese IHRM for practitioners from both Chinese and non-Chinese MNEs. Overall, this book is a detailed account of the IHRM of Chinese MNEs, a topic not yet considered in the literature but of increasing significance in understanding global economic affairs."--BOOK JACKET.
