ABSTRACT
Global Staffing covers a wide range of topics within the rapidly developing field of international staffing. The comprehensive coverage encompasses strategic and operational aspects of global staffing and four major themes run through all the chapters. The first is the need to understand global staffing strategies and practices in relation to the changing strategies of the international firm. The second is the need to explore the links between the implementation of international strategies and staffing policies and practices. Third, there is the need to examine the various global staffing activities in ways that recognise how they link with each other. Finally we are also cognisant of subsidiary perspectives on staffing of subsidiary and headquarter operations and this is reflected in Chapters 2, 3, 7 and 8 in particular. The text is aimed at advanced undergraduate courses, masters’ level courses and also as a resource for the reflective practitioner.
