The book examines HRM from a cross-cultural perspective in order to determine whether there is one universal model of HRM or many nationally specific models that reflect a variety of cultural and institutional contexts. It is suggested that the answer to the question 'What is HRM?' is dependent upon the national context within which it is asked. What may be termed HRM in one nation may take on a very different form in another nation despite similarity in terminology. \u003ci\u003eEurpoean Human Resource Management\u003c\/i\u003e shows how such factors as a nation's culture, industrial relations system, education system and legal system influence the ways in which the employment relationship is structured and conceived in seven European nations:  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDenmark\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrance\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGermany\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGreat Britain\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpain\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSweden\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In addition, \u003ci\u003eEuropean Human Resources Management\u003c\/i\u003e considers the extent to which notions of HRM in these nations are converging or diverging.
