This volume looks at how multinational companies manage their workforces across borders. Its focus is on the shaping of multinationals' employment practices through the interplay of structural forces: divergent national business systems, evolving supranational institutions, and the dynamics of global competition. But it also scrutinises the multinational as an arena in which contending actors pursue their own active interests and strategies within the constraints of these broader forces. Its combination of innovative empirical and theoretical material will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of international business and comparative employment relations.
