Dear Colleagues,

Can anyone suggest a good textbook for an undergraduate International Management course, something that revolves around International HR/OB?

It’d be nice if in addition to the usual topics it also had a chapter (or perhaps you could suggest a separate text/article) that deals with legal and other issues of employing and managing immigrants, as well as working overseas (not only expatriate management perspective, but also you taking a job overseas, what will be the issues you’ll have to deal with, from legal to cultural)?

Links to any other resources that could be used in an International Management course would be also much appreciated.

Thank you!

Vas
