International HRM - A Cross-Cultural Approach (Paperback)

`In the history of business and government globalization, Human Resource Management has been the last function to be internationalized - or, more optimistically, the first for which a need for diversity along national and cultural lines was recognized. In fact the fashionable term "Human Resources" for what used to be called "Personnel" is untranslatable into some languages, and often left in its English form. Considering people as "resources" is in itself a value choice, welcomed in some and rejected in other cultures. Preparing future HRM practitioners for recognizing and facing such value choices in the practice of their work is an important step towards better intercultural cooperation'- Geert Hofstede, author of "Culture's Consequences"

`Most books on IHRM-related topics address issues from the context of the

multinational corporation; this book expands that perspective by looking at

how different cultures tend to treat HR practices under conditions of globalization and within the domestic context. This book will be one that

students and practitioners will want to have in their personal libraries' - Mark Mendenhall, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

`An interesting and original treatment of an increasingly important subject.

Students and academics will welcome the extensive use of case material, as well as a

geographical coverage that is significantly broader than is found in most

other books on this topic' -

Professor Paul Blyton, Cardiff Business School

`In today's global economy, understanding the international dimensions of human resource management could not be more important. Terence Jackson brings a clarity of ideas and a creativity that allows readers of his new book, International HRM, both to understand the complexities of global people management and to, in fact, be better managers' - Professor Nancy J Adler, Faculty of Management, McGill University

`In these days of increasing globalization of business, this book is a very valuable and timely addition to the Human Resouce Management literature' - Rabindra N Kanungo, Professor Emeritus, McGill University
