This second, updated and extended edition of the Handbook of Research on Comparative Human Resource Management draws on the work of many of the world’s leading researchers in the field to present the state of the art to scholars, students and practitioners. The Handbook provides a detailed focus on the theoretical underpinnings of Comparative HRM, on comparative studies of specific areas of HRM practice and on the unique features of HRM in all the main regions of the world.
Owing to the revolution in information technology, the face of the contemporary workplace has changed and systems have been made more effective by introducing new techniques of Information Technology. In this book, we focus on HRM and how modern technology is helping in ensuring the effectiveness of HR functions. This would indicate that HRIS was viewed rather favorably as an administrative tool, but not a strategic one. This volume covers all these aspects.

All the chapters have a uniform structure and pay equal attention to theory and practice with an applied focus. Learning resources of the book include chapter-wide learning objectives, case studies, debates on related burning issues, and the companion website includes lecture slides and a question bank.
Organizations have increasingly been introducing web-based applications for HRM purposes, and these are frequently labeled as electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM). This title focuses on the theoretical developments within the field of e-HRM research and clarifies the need to crystallize a theoretical framework for e-HRM research.
