International Human Resource Management 6th Edition

[Jeannine Lander]

Globalizationis not a new phenomenon, but some of its consequences are. The new edition of International Human Resource Management critically examines how globalization affects labor and employment today. It raises important question about organizational change, sustainability, and ethical issues. We need this book more than ever.

This is a terrific textbook for teaching International Human Resource Management. Academics frustrated with the narrow scope of previous International Human Resource Management textbooks will welcome this new edition by Martinez Lucio and Robert MacKenzie. Most importantly, this book goes beyond a narrow focus on the company level and studies International Human Resource Management within its various contexts, ranging from local to international influences and considering a range of societal, economic, and governmental actors and pressures, which all impinge on the management of human resources. Thus, this textbook provides an insightful and critical account and approach for students, academics, and practitioners alike. The textbook has become an instant classic for teaching International Human Resource Management, but the book and its various chapters will also be of relevance for comparative and international classes in employment relations, management, and work & organizations.

Conducting business across national borders is nothing new; the Knights Templar were banking internationally as long ago as 1135. But modern globalization processes raise different challenges, and as the world becomes smaller and labour movements more common, an international understanding of human resource management is essential.

The second edition of International HRM provides a fully updated and revised analysis of this important area. Its innovative, multi-disciplinary approach allows a holistic picture to emerge in which key issues are assessed from organizational, individual and societal perspectives. The collection is divided into three parts:

Supported by new research, and including work from eminent writers in the field, this book discusses issues as diverse as the relative absence of women in international work, the ethical merits of localization, and the context faced by organizations like the United Nations. It is a valuable tool for all students, researchers and practitioners working in international business and human resource management.

This new edition of Readings and Cases in International Human Resource Management is a classic edited textbook, taking account of recent developments in the international human resources management (IHRM) field, such as the pandemic, the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as climate change. It includes a range of key readings that are essential for understanding the field and contextualizes each one with a selection of real-life case studies that demonstrate their meaning and impact in practice.
