Opis

The third edition of the Global Human Resource Management Casebook provides a wide range of international teaching cases exploring contemporary human resource management challenges. Each case focuses primarily on one country and illustrates a critical HRM issue confronting managers and HRM practitioners. This real-world application provides students of HRM with a unique opportunity to examine how key HRM theories and ideas translate into practice.

The case studies emphasize the national and cultural contexts of HRM, providing readers with global understanding of HRM practices like recruitment, reward systems, diversity and inclusion as well as recent developments including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, remote working, sustainability, and digital transformation. This new edition is significantly updated to reflect recent developments in the field and include a broader range of countries. The authors also delve into new industries including consulting, energy, healthcare, IT, and education. With 31 international cases followed by further reading and learning resources, this extensive collection is an invaluable resource for any student seeking to explore contemporary HRM on a global basis.

Recenzje

“Human Resource Management (HRM) has become a global agenda. While there are differences by country, there are similar principles that apply worldwide. This outstanding set of cases demonstrates how 31 countries deal with the array of human capability (talent, leadership, organization, and HRM) issues that exist around the world. The cases offer relevant, specific, and compelling insights that will be useful for business and HRM leaders who want to deliver stakeholder value through human capability.”
