From the mid‎-1980s to the turn of the 1990s the international HR field was considered to be in its infancy‎.‎ There continues to be both an evolution of territory covered by the field ‎- a series of successively evolving cultural‎,‎ geographical and institutional challenges faced by the multinational corporation ‎(‎MNC‎)‎ ‎- as well as more critical questioning whether this has created an expanded or a fragmented field‎.‎ This book brings together the latest research on important "issues‎-driven" concerns that the field of IHRM now has to face‎,‎ absorb‎,‎ interpret then reanalyse through international lenses‎.‎ This volume gives attention to those aspects of MNC behaviour ‎- choices about location‎,‎ how they organize local subsidiaries‎,‎ choices made about technology‎,‎ capital and labour‎,‎ and choices made about investments and strategies ‎- that are subject to institutional influences‎.‎ It also gives voice to a number of contemporary issues ‎- reverse knowledge flows‎,‎ skill supply strategies‎,‎ employer branding‎,‎ e‎-enablement‎,‎ outsourcing‎,‎ global networks ‎- that now need to be accommodated within the field‎.‎ * Broadens the IHRM field to cover comparative and institutional perspectives * Provides a multi‎-level analysis of globalization phenomena at the individual‎,‎ organization‎,‎ and macro level * Focuses on the current problems and issues driving the attention of IHRM Directors
