About The Series: Globalization
has led to spatial division and disaggregation of work
across the globe, leading to the evolution of novel
forms of work organization and contextually-embedded
approaches such as co-working and co-creation in an
interconnected and interdependent ecosystem. Whilst
there are many advantages of scale and scope associated
with these work design forms there are also many
problems and challenges. Palgrave Studies in Global
Human Management presents new research that examines the
intersection of globalization, technology, innovation,
HRM practices and work organization. With an emphasis on
human capital management in international business, the
series stresses the importance of culture and
contextually-situated knowledge a dynamic work
environment, especially in the context of big emerging
markets to enhancing productivity and competitiveness
with a skilled work force. |

Call for Papers: Human Capital and
Innovation: Examining the Role of Globalisation is the second book in the Palgrave Studies in Global Human Capital
Management series. The aim of the book is to explore how
human capital contributes to innovation in multinational
organisations within the context of inter-connected
globalised world. Globalisation refers to
growing economic dependence among countries as reflected
in the increasing cross-border flows of goods and
services, know-how and people. It has led to slicing of
value chain, spatial division and disaggregation of work
across the globe. Scholars argue that multinational
organisations are best placed to exploit the benefits
offered by globalisation. In the early phases of
globalisation, multinational organisations outsourced
production to low cost locations in developing countries
to stay ahead in the competition. However, in recent
years, multinational organisations have started to setup
offshore research and development centres and acquiring
local firms in developing countries to exploit available
skills and talent to find new ways to innovate. There
are enough examples of developing countries, such as
India and China, that have develop competitive advantage
based on their human capital. We invite contributions in
this emerging area of study with examples from a range
of industries and countries. Submission
