This excellent book will prove to be most valuable for postgraduate and undergraduate international HRM students as well as CIPD members more generally. - Professor Michael Poole, Cardiff Business School, UK, and Editor of the International Journal of Human Resource Management . This highly readable book...is based on sound theory and contains the latest international research, but also provides the reader with a wealth of interesting examples. I warmly recommend this well-organised and tightly written overview of International HRM! - Professor Ingmar Bjorkman, Department of Management and Organization, Swedish School of Economics (Hanken), Finland. I am amazed how much is contained in such a relatively small book. Apart from reading the IHRM journal and seeking out original sources, a student would be able to get a very good overview as well as an in-depth perspective on IHRM. I would say that this critically engaging book is the best in its field. - Dr David Vickers, Lancashire Business School, University of Central Lancashire, UK.
