The authors (both of Loyola Marymount U.) present a textbook for students of management exploring the "challenges and opportunities" of international human resources management, by which they
mean that they aim to present both challenges facing organizations together with "useful ideas and best practices-tested approaches for addressing those challenges." They focus on the issues
important to generalist managers and senior decision makers in charge of corporate strategy formulation and implementation instead of directing the discussion only to the concerns of human
resource specialists. Chapters address the cultural foundations of international human resource management, changes and challenges in the global labor market, the role of international human
resource management in successful multinational corporate strategy, global human resource planning, global staffing, global workforce training and development, managing international
assignments, global workforce performance management, compensation for a global workforce, and global employee relations. Each chapter includes a pair of case studies illustrating concepts.
