'This book, by
three internationally renowned scholars of Human Resource Management, is a very valuable
addition to the literature. It is very clearly written and targets its audience of
post-graduate and undergraduate international HRM students very welt. It is a most welcome
and long overdue text.'
Professor Michael
Poole. Cardiff Business School and the International journal of Human Resource Management
'This is an
excellent and timely contribution to the sparse textbook literature on IHRM. The lack of
such good texts is mysterious since the future is clearly beyond borders. International
HRM makes sure that new generations of managers are provided with the essence of global
business which is to treat human resources in the right way wherever they are.'
Professor Jan
Selmer, Hong Kong Baptist University
This is a
first-rate and highly readable book that fills a large gap in the growing and increasingly
important International HRM field - the need to appreciate and account for local as well
as international and global factors in HRM. It provides the reader with a fact-filled and
scholarly blend of insights into theory and practice. I am certain it will become the
benchmark text for courses in international and comparative HRM'.
