'There has long been a need for texts describing the practice of Human Resource Management in Europe. This new book goes a long way toward fulfilling that need. Larsen and Mayrhofer have put together a great set of authors and chapters presenting a wide spectrum of topics and models on European Human Resource Management. I very much like the style and topics and for sure will now use this text for coverage of European HRM.' - Dennis R. Briscoe, International HRM, University of San Diego, USA
