"Essentials of International Human Resource Management: Managing
People Globally is a must-read for anyone studying or managing
human talent in a global context. Written by leading experts
in the field, this book should be on the bookshelf of anyone
needing cutting-edge knowledge in international human resource
management."
*Paula Caligiuri*
"This is a timely book delivering what it says in the title:
essentials of IHRM. Its contextualized perspective gives it a
unique flavor. A must read for students and practitioners of IHRM
alike."
*Wolfgang Mayrhofer*
"Adopting a truly global perspective, Essentials of International
Human Resource Management by Thomas and Lazarova, provides a first
rate account of the anatomy of this evolving field. In
incorporating insights garnered from international, comparative and
cross-cultural lenses, the authors unearth the explanatory power of
contextualism and demonstrate the true value of a ‘levels of
analysis’ approach. Illustrative case studies serve to
augment the theoretical material making it an indispensable
resource for any student of IHRM."
