Students, faculty, staff, and the public are all invited to the second Faculty Pub Night of Spring 2016, featuring Yongsun Paik, Professor of International Business and Management at LMU's College of Business Administration. Professor Paik will discuss his recently co-edited work, Managing a Global Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities in International Human Resource Management, (3rd edition).

About the Author's Work:

Managing a Global Workforce provides balanced and contemporary coverage of human resource management in the international marketplace. It is designed to help readers understand the critical human resource issues underlying the cultural and economic challenges they face. The book's approach is truly global in nature, recognizing contemporary trends in the global business arena, including the growing use of contingent workers, strategic alliances, and the need to have an active influence on the workers in these new organizational relationships. 

Today, global corporations are transforming themselves into "transnationals," moving work to the places with the talent to handle the job and the time to do it at the right cost. This book convinces readers that global talent management has become so critical to build an organization committed to recruit, retain, and develop the most talented employees available in the global market, thus creating a sustainable competitive advantage. Reader-friendly tools include an opening case scenario in each chapter to attract interest and to emphasize topic importance and enhance the book's practical, real-world emphasis.
