Global Human Resource Management Casebook

This casebook is a collection of international teaching cases focusing on human resource management issues. Each case focuses primarily on one country and illustrates significant challenges faced by managers and HR practitioners.

The authors place a strong emphasis on the influence of national, cultural, and institutional context within the issues presented, which include employee motivation, reward systems, recruitment and selection, and career development. In this edition, the editors and authors have made significant updates, also adding additional cases to cover a broader range of industries from food service, clothing manufacturing, and transportation to IT and academia. Recommendations for further reading and relevant videos provide readers with further practical insight into the modern HRM field.

With more than 30 cases, followed by questions, tasks, and suggested analyses to encourage reflection and comprehension, this is a valuable companion to any student of Human Resource Management.
