Opis

This book addresses some of the major contemporary issues in comparative business and employment relations. At its core are the findings of a four-year exploration of the management of employment relations in American multinational companies in the UK, Germany, Ireland, and Spain. Specifically, it looks at what is distinctively "American" about US multinationals and their management of human resources across national borders.

Recenzje

This book is an important contribution to a fast growing literature on industrial relations in foreign-owned companies...a benchmark for future comparative studies of multinational companies as employers.
