'The Handbook of Research on Comparative Human Resource Management,
Second Edition is an important and comprehensive resource for
researchers and students seeking to better understand the
contextual challenges and difference in human resource systems,
strategies, and practices across countries. The Handbook is written
by an impressive collection of thought leaders in the field of
comparative CHRM, each offering cutting-edge insights on regional,
functional, or strategic issues.'
--Paula Caligiuri, Northeastern University, US'This Handbook is a
timely, impressive, and well-organized contribution, with excellent
authors from around the world. In particular, I appreciate the
integration of two key elements: extensive consideration of the
theories and research methods that serve as the foundations for the
study of CHRM; and, specific consideration of a wide range of HRM
practices and a wide range of country and regional contexts. The
Handbook can be an invaluable resource for scholarship and for
educational purposes.'
