Features: Each chapter of this book is an independent guide to a specific aspect of international human resource management—from the history of international human resource management in Chapter 1 to the functional implications of the human resource profession in the last chapter. It covers everything from the human side of managing cross-border mergers to establishing multinational coordination mechanisms without falling into bureaucratic traps. This book addresses the question of how multinational enterprises can thrive in a contradictory world, with dualism theory as the overarching perspective. Understanding dualism can help college students and managers integrate the future into the present. The main content of the book includes: challenges faced by international human resource management, three levels of international corporate human resource management, developing global integration with local responsiveness, managing alliances and joint ventures, building cross-border mergers, mastering network protocols, and talent development for multinational enterprises.
