Media Reviews

'Briscoe, Schuler and Claus have written an excellent book, which adopts a critical, yet highly accessible account of International HRM policy and practice in the multinational enterprise. It takes the research and practice literatures and integrates them in an innovative manner and combines rigorous research-based analysis with many useful practical examples. The book, which is a leader in the field, explains why managers need to develop International HRM approaches and strategies in relation to the strategic plans of the firm. It will be invaluable to both students and managers with an interest in the international dimensions of HRM.' - Hugh Scullion, National University of Ireland, Galway

'This is a vital resource for IHRM practitioners, academics, and students at all levels. A comprehensive book that provides a solid foundation in the essential knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a career in IHRM. Each chapter not only focuses on relevant research, but also includes practical examples and cases that illustrate the most up-to date ideas, tools, challenges, and developments in the field.'
