In this extensively revised fourth edition textbook, authors Vladimir Pucik, Ingmar Björkman, Paul Evans and Günter Stahl take a people management and organizational perspective on the complex issues involved in successfully managing today’s multinational firms. Taking account of contemporary business challenges of digitalization, inclusion, and sustainability, The Global Challenge explores how international strategies are executed through people management.
Through its focus on human resource management and organization, The Global Challenge: International Human Resource Management, provides a broad guide on how to manage the process of internationalization, with a particular focus on the transnational firm. In this edition, authors Evans, Pucik and Bjrkman discuss the "people implications" of traditional strategies for internationalization and how such strategies get executed through human resource management (HRM). They discuss such important topics as: how to manage expatriates from the parent country; how to go about adapting management practices to circumstances abroad; how to localize management; how to recognize and ultimately avoid obstacles in joint ventures; how to expand across borders through acquisitions; how to respond to the contradictory pressures of the transnational firm, where HRM has a critical role to play in enabling managers to resolve these paradoxes in innovative ways; how global competition is changing the nature of management and organization, even for firms operating in domestic markets. The book draws on practical examples from companies that have experienced the real challenges of international HRM. The authors carefully balance these real business applications with a wide scope of academic research. The issues presented in the first edition of this book have been updated throughout with new information from research and practice.

Selon une vieille croyance suédoise, celui qui naît un dimanche a le don de "seconde vue". Il voit les choses secrètes et les revenants ; il découvre les objets cachés et perce les mystères ; ses rêves, déjà, lui font connaître l'avenir : c'est un voyant. Est-il meilleur augure pour un futur grand cinéaste ? Mais d'autres aussi naissent un dimanche, le père de Poupie par exemple - Ingmar Bergman lui-même ici âgé de huit ans -, ce père pasteur, à la fois craint et détesté. Loin de les rapprocher, le don de "seconde vue", en faisant naître la foi chez le père et une vocation de cinéaste chez le fils, les sépare, et ce n'est qu'à la fin de la vie du pasteur que ces deux "enfants du dimanche" se réconcilieront. Ingmar Bergman reprend ici un bref épisode de ses Mémoires, Laterna magica, et le développe en un récit destiné à être tourné par son fils.
