The new edition of Readings and Cases in International Human
Resource Management examines the interactions between people,
cultures, and human resource systems in a wide variety of regions
throughout the world. Taking account of recent developments in the
international human resources management (IHRM) field, the sixth
edition will enable students to meet the international challenges
they will face in the workforce, and sensitize them to the
complexity of human resource issues in the era of globalization.
Features include: New readings and case studies that account for
recent changes in the field, positioned alongside "tried and true"
material. An increased focus on cross-cultural diversity and tools
to bridge "social distance" between team members. Supplemental
material and teaching notes, available for download, to enhance
instructors' abilities to use the readings and cases with their
students. With well-known contributors and field experts, this is
the ideal accompaniment for any class in international human
resource management, organizational studies, or international
business.
As more and more companies gain a global reach, managing cultural
differences is an increasingly important part of every job. This
book demonstrates how culture affects management practice, from
organisational structure to strategy and human resource management.
Drawing upon evidence from the authors' research, it encourages
managers to reconsider, explore and transfer alternative practices
across national boundaries. As well as providing an insight into
other cultures, this text provides readers with an increased
awareness of their own. The third edition of this book serves to
expand the discussion of the impact of culture on effective
management and on utilising differences to create competitive
advantage. Employing tools of observation, questioning and
interpretation, the book challenges assumptions and encourages
critical reflection on the influences of culture in business.
Managing Across Cultures will appeal to both managers and
executives working within an international business environment, as
well as to students on a growing number of MBA and other
undergraduate, postgraduate and post-experience courses. Key
