Provides students with an understanding of the complexities associated with international human resource management. The central theme of the course is to identify whether and in what ways HRM practices need to be adapted across cultures to be effective. Course material reflects a focus on comparing American HR1vI practices with those in East Asia and Western Europe. In addition, the major topic areas of concern to IHRM managers are covered, including the selection, training, compensation, and performance management of international managers (expatriates), coordination across subsidiaries of a company, the development and tracking of global leaders, and cross-cultural communication and negotiation.
