As the extent of
globalization has increased, the School
of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers has increasingly sought to
understand the international dimension of human resource management. As
international human resource management investigates the dynamic and changing
conditions of employment and work against the backdrop of increased
globalization, key research themes include the strategic role of HR in
multinational corporations and the role of HR in cross-border alliances.
International HR is also concerned with cross-cultural comparison. Randall Schuler serves on the
editorial boards of a number of journals with an international emphasis, including
The International Journal of Human Resource Management, Asia Pacific
Journal of Human Resources, Journal of International Management,
and Journal of International Management Reviews. Likewise, Paula Caligiuri, who does extensive work
on expatriate management, women on global assignments, and global leadership,
is on the review board for Journal of International Business Studies.
