This volume presents data and analysis drawn from the results of the Price Waterhouse Cranfield survey of international human resource management. Employing organizations in all sectors of the economy from 14 major European states are included. With experts from a variety of European business schools and universities, this volume serves as a source for all teachers and students of European HRM practices and policies. Including a unique tabular database that supports detailed analysis of the major themes within HRM, this book should also be a key reference source for practitioners wishing to understand HRM in the various European countries and to "benchmark" their organizations against current practice.
