Internationalization is often seen as posing human resource problems that are difficult to overcome. However, this book is written in the belief that there are many basic similarities and continuities between domestic and international business, and that these reveal the generic processes and skills which are the basis for escaping from the domestic setting. This work considers the problems of internationalization as they affect large and small firms, newly internationalizing firms and those which are mature in the international arena. The implications of the Single European Market are explored; and relevant theories are explained to reveal the what, why and how of internationalization. Drawing on original research and an extensive review of the literature, this book offers a comprehensive and critical overview of human resource issues in internationalization, designed to appeal to business students from first degree level to MBA.
