International human resource management

the last two decades, international human resource management (IHRM) has evolved into an important field of research, teaching and practice. Until recentlythe focus of IHRM was on how to best manage human resources (HRs) in the multinational enterprise; however, IHRM has now evolved to incorporate two more perspectives, cross-cultural HRM and comparative HRM. Significant developments are taking place in the corporate world which have serious implications for IHRM. These include globalization, increasing foreign direct investments into emerging markets, growing intensity of cross-border alliances, growth of multinationals from emerging markets (such as China and India), increasing movement ofpeople around the globe and an increasing trend in business process outsourcing to new economies. This emerging global economic scenario is creating immense opportunities for IHRM students and researchers. International Human Resource Management brings together articles which highlight the historical evolutionof IHRM, discuss the contemporary issues and make projections for further developments in the field.The articles have been selected and arranged into sections in a way to help the reader better understand the developments in the field from different perspectives.
