Since the first edition in 1999, there have been two major forces at work in the field of HRM and SHRM:- Globalization Globalization has brought an increase in competition worldwide and has made the effective management of people even more important. Newer organizational forms like international joint ventures and international mergers and acquisitions have resulted. Together these have a huge impact on the fields of HRM and SHRM. As a consequence of this, the editors have included: several more articles that discuss international aspects of HRM and SHRM; and that demonstrate the use of HRM and SHRM for global competitive advantage. Knowledge Management Associated with globalization and increased competition, is the need for companies to be more knowledgeable in the dynamics of worldwide competition and labor markets, and to manage knowledge more systematically than ever before.
