Using a thematic approach, four key areas are identified - the cultural context against which HRM operates in Europe, recent developments in the EC and the implications for HRM and HR managers, the upheaval in Eastern Europe and the relevance of HR issues in the development of newly liberated economies, and finally, the increase in cross-border business which necessitates the identification and development of international, p̀an-European' managers."--Back cover.
