Trade ReviewAn excellent revised edition of a successful core text which features a truly global orientation, and a critical approach to HRM theory and practice. The authors take a non-western-centric approach and encourage students to question underlying assumptions about management. * Adrian Wilkinson, Griffith University, Australia *
In the last few decades an increasing number of books on international HRM have been published. Among these publications this book stands out through the way in which it explores dominant concepts from the HRM literature, linking them with other literature, like on institutional theory, industrial relations and employee participation. The critical approach makes it stand out, especially when compared with more mainstream thinking on Strategic HRM. Global developments are looked at without the typical Euro-US angle - providing fresh ideas from other regions of the world like Australia. There are also many excellent cases suitable for various levels of teaching international HRM and employment relations. * Ulke Veersma, University of Greenwich, UK *
This book provides a superb introduction to HRM in the 21st century, and in a global context. The topics are located in the present era; they update methodologies and offer original and actionable ways forward for a subject that is in danger of being hijacked by recycled insights. * Raza Mir, William Paterson University, USA *
