The recognition of IHRM as a determinant of success or failure in international business is of interest to academics and professionals, who are able to provide a rich triangulation of information sources. Note that both findings from academic as well as those of specialised consultants demonstrate: (i) the increase of companies' internationalisation processes (HEWITT INTERNATIONAL, 2009; SOCIETY FOR HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, PWC, 2011); (ii) the growth of the mobility of professionals supported by a body of literature on expatriation and concerns with talent management (DELOITTE INTERNATIONAL, PWC 2014); and (iii) changes in management practices of people related to career expectations and the valuing of development and learning (SILVA, ORSI, NAKATA, 2013).
The gap between the content of domestic and international production is also highlighted (Silva ORSI, NAKATA, 2013), with the latter turning to the development of management models and the former maintaining a focus on practices. This fact, in addition to the difference in the volume of articles produced in the last ten years, is of concern due to the emergence of the theme, especially when considering the peculiarities of Brazilian culture. Considering that this mediates the adaptive processes of multinationals that are established in the country as well as how they are internalised, justifies a discussion forum for articles on International Human Resource Management.
The articles from this forum can promote reflections on the strategies for managing human capital in organisations that operate across borders, contributing to the expansion of this field of studies and publications on IHRM in Brazil.
To contribute to the dissemination of academic knowledge in the field of International Business and its strategic management of human resource processes, the Journal of International Business at ESPM (Internext) invites scholars to submit the results of their studies in the following areas:
• Divergence and Convergence in Models, Policies and Practices of IHRM;
• Management of global integration and local responsiveness;
• Strategic configurations and IHRM structure
• Comparison of Human Resource Management
• Knowledge management and network expertise at a global level,
• Development of leaders and global teams;
• HR Management in mergers, acquisitions and international joint ventures
• Cross-cultural and diversity management
