HRM in America and Europe

Paper Summary:

This research examines human resource development in the U.S. and Europe from a comparative perspective. The research sets forth the context in which human resources management (HRM) issues have assumed importance in recent years in the U.S. and Europe, providing an overview of the field and then discusses ways in which the American and European approaches to HRM overlap and converge on one hand, and diverge on the other.

From the Paper:

"Comparison of the US with European approaches to human-resources development must take account of what appear to be three different Europes. First there is the Europe of Great Britain, together with what is viewed in popular imagination as the special relationship between American and British culture. Indeed, the literature reveals a body of work that seeks to analyze the Anglo-American model, as noted by Keenoy. Second there is Western Continental Europe, i.e., the Europe of the Cold War West. Finally there is the Europe of the Warsaw Pact East, where a host of nation-states have since the late 1980s sought to restructure their economies to accommodate private enterprise rather than central-government economic planning."
