Human Resource Management in Europe Evidence of Convergence?

Human Resource Management in Europe: Evidence of Convergence? The increasing number of cross-border alliances and mergers both within Europe and between Europe and other parts of the world have made it imperative for students of management to have a thorough understanding of the European context for human resource management (HRM). This book enables managers and students to become "fluent" in the many various environments, approaches and practices that exist across Europe for managing human resources. The text employs comprehensive, comparable, representative data collected longitudinally during the last decade and it also draws directly on the expertise of leading HRM scholars in each country. Entirely fresh analyses of HRM in Europe, based on new and hitherto unpublished data are presented and this analysis is critically important for students, researchers and also for practitioners. The book is divided into three parts: concepts and theoretical issues, country level analyses of trends in relation to these issues (deletion), and summaries and conclusions on the issue of convergence and divergence. The book is an ideal teaching and learning text, designed for use with relevant programmes. Chris Brewster, Professor of International Human Resource Management, Henley College of Management, UK.
