✦ Synopsis
This book is a collection of contributions of 15 authors on human resource management (HRM) perspectives and practices in 13 major developing countries of the world. The book provides the reader with an understanding of the dynamics of HRM in developing countries. By providing an awareness of the diverse and unique configurations of national factors, which dictate HRM in cross-national settings, the book helps the reader to better understand the "contextspecific" nature of HRM in these countries. All the contributions are designed around a set conceptual framework (Chapter 1), examining the influence of core national factors (i.e., national culture, national institutions, dynamic business environment, and business sector), which form the macroenvironment of organizations in a national context. The contributors have focused on the influence of these national factors on HRM policies and practices in China, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. Most of the authors of these 13 essays are native to the countries of their study and have exposure to HRM in developed countries, and thus provide a useful review of the local map of HRM practices in these developing countries. The term developing countries is used
