This book identifies and discusses the key features of human
resource management at the turn of the century from a northern
European perspective (particularly referring to Norway, Sweden,
Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland and the UK). The
authors' approach reflects the fact that these countries have
become increasingly critical of the universalist model of SHRM
common in the USA.
The early chapters of the book address differences in concepts
and practices in HRM in the region; these are followed by chapters
that explore topics seen as particularly relevant in northern
Europe. The conclusion looks at the usefulness and future of the
notion of HRM as a result of these discussions. Based on the
authors' own research and studies in Denmark and the UK, the book
also draws particularly on empirical data from surveys by the
Cranfield Network for the Study of Human Resource Management in
Europe and on contributions from researchers in Sweden, Ireland,
and Austria.
Researchers and students will find here a useful summary of the
challenge posed by northern Europe to universalist concepts of
HRM.
