As international businesses increase in number and scope, so is the global movement of the international workforce, creating challenges for Multinational corporations (MNCs) to manage their workforce effectively. This book is a beginner’s guide that helps introduce complex International Human Resource Management (IHRM) concepts in simple terms, including Multinational Companies’ international strategy choices, global talent management approaches, staffing and recruitment practices, performance appraisal methods, cross-cultural training and development programs, international compensation, global labour relations, and bullying and harassment faced by international workers. This book also attempts to cover global leadership attitudes/behaviours and strategies deemed effective in managing international businesses successfully. The book is written from a managerial perspective and focuses on Multinational Companies’ strategies concerning HR policies and their varying implications in different global markets. In a simple yet interactive way, the book highlights the socio-cultural differences MNCS face while operating in other parts of the world by using case study discussions and videos to engage the reader through active participation. Target audience Global business leaders, HR professionals (from academia and industry), researchers from the field, and students.
