Introduction to the week
The globalisation of business has changed the nature of work and management across multiple regions. Going global has been great for business growth, but also confronts HR managers with significantly more complex global HR challenges.
In this first short course, we’re going to explore theories of human resource management from an international perspective and discuss the role of HR practitioners in managing global issues. We’ll also compare and contrast HR practices and challenges between different countries.
This week, you will:
- Explore theories of international HRM
