Book excerpt: This collection sets out many of the contributions to the theoretical, conceptual and critical advance of the academic subject of human resource management. This has become recognized as an emergent disciplinary field in which theories and models are generated and their propositions tested by rigorous empirical research. It has also become increasingly international in its outlook. This comprehensive set explores the following themes: origins, developments and critical analyses; comparative and international perspectives on human resource management; strategic human resource management; and emergent issues for the new millenium, including globalization and the multinational enterprise, international assignments and expatriation, managing diversity, competences and knowledge, innovation and creativity, and ethics.
