Useful and timely for both the global corporation and the global manager, this book fills the critical gap in the literature caused by the rapid speed at which organizations are globalizing. International in approach, with a strong practical emphasis and structured by regions as well as themes, this book is a must read for both academics and practitioners. It provides readers with comprehensive coverage of the performance management practices in key countries, placing special emphasis on performance appraisal and the five critical themes that it encompasses. An exciting new edition to Routledge's Global HRM series, Global Performance Management is the perfect core textbook for specialist master courses and an invaluable resource for students on undergraduate and MBA students studying management.
