Establishing the agenda for global HR, this book looks through the eyes of HR professionals themselves. It gives a broad, coherent overview of the field of IHRM and a detailed, practical analysis of what is needed to be successful in this crucial area of modern management. A number of key questions are addressed:  Does IHRM drive the business agenda more than domestic HRM? What is the impact of IHRM on organizational effectiveness? What are the keys to success in IHRM? Drawing upon current research conducted as part of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's Globalization Research Project the text includes data from surveys of HR professionals and company practice as well as longitudinal case studies.
