HRMexico

Written for students, researchers and business professionals, this book offers an in-depth look at how human resources is managed in Mexico. Its ten chapters each cover a core HR function as it is practiced in the country. The author spent roughly twelve months, from June 2010 to May 2011, searching databases including ABI/INFORM Global, Business Source Complete and Google Scholar for relevant articles on every chapter topic. A full bibliography closes the volume.

Each chapter opens with learning goals and closes with discussion questions and team activities designed to encourage active learning. Chapters also include a section on implications for multinational employers. The chapter on best practices draws on qualitative interviews with HR leaders at companies regarded as top performers. Fifteen tables and two appendices summarize key concepts from across the chapters.

Little consolidated material exists on Mexican HR practices in the international literature. This book fills that gap by examining each major HR practice separately, making it useful to both academics and practitioners.
