Given the rise globalization, with ever more businesses transferring functions to foreign locations, companies increasingly need to adopt an international human resource management (IHRM) strategy. In this book, Stephen Perkins and Susan Short land look beyond the abstract concepts of global strategy to the actual world of people, discussing all the elements that make up the IHRM portfolio, including: The impact of international cultures on employee performance: Employee resourcing and relationship options; Training and development in an international environment; The complexities of multinational reward management practice. Drawing on case studies from around the world, this book demonstrates how to design and implement an international human resource strategy and presents the trends and managerial priorities that look set to influence decision-making in the coming decade. Strategic International Human Resource Management is essential reading for human resource practitioners, managers and students.
