  This substantially revised second edition of this critically engaging yet student friendly text explores both comparative and international HRM, discussing leading practices and the controversies that surround them. Developed from the authors extensive experience in the field, it presents a comprehensive treatment of the subject from a truly global perspective. Each chapter includes case studies, activities and a range of other features to test and reinforce students understanding. It is an ideal core text for modules in International Human Resource Management, whether undergraduate or postgraduate. It is also suitable for the CIPD's International Personnel and Development module and for international students studying HRM. 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.
