In 2007, the 9th IHRM conference was hosted by <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Estonian</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Business</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype></st1:place> and The Cranfield Network on Comparative Human Resource Management (Cranet). Selected papers from this conference are being reviewed for inclusion in this special issue, but papers not presented at the conference may also be submitted for review. The conference theme is of increasing interest to academics and practitioners in international human resource management, as well as among those professionals involved in complex organisational change.
The modern world is increasingly facing radical and rapid change in the nature of the international social fabric. As broad social changes occur at an ever-increasing pace, organisations must adapt within this context, and workers must change within their own organisations. All of these have major implications for the way we manage the human resources of firms, especially in the international arena, where such complexities become especially pronounced.
Papers appropriate to this special issue should deal with the impact of IHRM on changing organisations and we especially welcome papers dealing with the nature of change as we enter the 21st century. Papers that deal with complex change across levels of analysis are also especially welcome, as are dynamic models of the IHRM function. An international focus should be made within the paper.
Subject Coverage
Papers are invited primarily but not exclusively on the following topics:
- the impact of globalisation on HRM practices
- international organisations as reflections of national and organisational culture
- the role of HRM in altering organisational practice

- cross-level impacts of HRM on global organisations
