Questions related to managing people in hostile environments have become more central on the agenda of business leaders and HR professionals in multinational corporations (MNCs). This is due to developments such as the increase of terrorism or the political instability in many regions. In consequence, research on the role of HR in hostile environments has increased, though it can still be considered in its early stages.

Danger and Risk as Challenges for HRM: Managing People in Hostile Environments adds to this emerging field of research by investigating the management of people in hostile environments from conceptual as well as empirical perspectives. It delivers an essential and comprehensive overview and gives deep insight into this highly relevant topic from leading authors in the field.

This book will be of great value to scholars and researchers interested in the role of human resource management (HRM) in hostile environments, people management in companies in conflict-affected areas and to those interested in new grounds in HR Research.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Human Resource Management.

This book provides state-of-the art research on expatriate management from a European perspective. Considering issues related to the different phases of expatriation and comprehensive contemporary topics of expatriate management, the chapters present a long overdue holistic approach to the field. Rather than just publishing a counterweight to the predominant North American literature, Expatriate Management includes critical analyses of each chapter written by a number of renowned North American scholars to review and contribute to the trans-Atlantic dialogue.

A compact overview of the key concepts and main developments in International Management. Strategy concepts, models and theories of Multinational Corporations and their practical implementation are the core of this book. The authors explore the unique aspects of international value chain activities and business functions, offering a deep understanding of how areas like Production & Sourcing, Research & Development, Marketing, Human Resource Management, and Controlling are managed in international firms. In 25 chapters, each topic is explained with a comprehensive overview, followed by a case study from a prominent international company to facilitate the understanding and application of the concepts.

In this fourth edition, all chapters have been thoroughly updated to include new academic insights and recent developments. New chapters on MNCs from Emerging Markets and on Foreign Divestment have been added. Nearly all case studies have been replaced with new ones; the rest of them have been revised. Despite these updates, the proven core concept of the book remains unchanged. From the fourth edition, Benjamin Bader joins the author team.
