Introduction to International Human Resource Management consists of two main parts. The first part is about the context of international human resource management (IHRM). It starts by defining key concepts before looking at the wider context of IHRM and key academic models, theories, and debates. It considers why culture is an important aspect to consider in the context of IHRM and introduces the institutional approach. The second part looks at the challenges of HRM in multi-national enterprises. This includes discussions on recruitment and selection, international reward management, performance management, training and development, and how to manage diversity. The second part also looks at corporate social responsibility and ethical issues, the employment relationship, global talent management, and the dark side of international employment.
