Managing and developing human resources in international setting is increasingly recognized as a central challenge, particularly for MNEs. The book titled “International Human Resource Management†offers many insights into the possibilities of creative response to these challenges. It explores exhaustively all the approaches and issues that arise in the context of subsidiaries and joint ventures. This book provides an understanding of the theoretical foundation and the practical implications of international approaches to human resource management. It gives an overview of human resource management in an international environment. The emergence of the multinational enterprise as a dominant institution in the world economy has resulted in the importance of understanding not only multinational enterprises themselves, but also the activities of the people working within these and similar multicultural organizations. In addition, specific human resource practices in some countries, e.g. USA, Japan, India, UK, France, have been described so as to understand the basic models of International Human Resource Management. These will highlight the major employment policies of multinational companies and the problems of cross-cultural differences. This book will be particularly helpful to practicing managers, students and faculty members in various management institutions.
