Global Human Resource Management

The rapid pace of globalisation has made it mandatory for the company globally while describing their market, corporate strategy, resource utilisation, operations and HR practices. Cross-cultural differences add a new dimension to the traditional HRM practices. There has been a growing interest in Global HRM among academicians as well as practitioners for the following reasons: Increased mobility of human resources across the nations due to globalisation; poor performance or failure by expatriates in foreign assignments costing global firms heavily. The success of an international business mainly depends on the effective management of HR. Due to cultural differences across the nations, management of global workforce poses various challenges to human resource Managers. In this book, the concept of Global Human Resource Management and the various issues and challenges involved are highlighted. Case studies on Global Human Resource Management in many global organisations are also briefly discussed in the book.
