Foreword A famous Portuguese Poet once said around one hundred years ago; “before I was born all the words that should save the Humanity had already been written.., the only thing that was missing was to save Humanity.” Fast forward to the 21st century services led and knowledge based economy, and we have myriads of theoretical study about the decisive assets – namely intangibles. Those analysis are made in several perspectives, namely Human Resources, Knowledge Management, Intellectual Capital, and also many sectorial perspectiveslike Trade, Economics, Logistics, Social Policy etc. However, today the question about the applicability of all these studies remains unsolved. So, it like, many of the words that will save the Knowledge Economy have already been written, all we need is to save the Knowledge Economy…Or is it not? The idea behind TAKE Conference was to provide a multidisciplinary forum in which those multiple perspectives will come together. We believe it is a fruitful operation and we intend to continue the exercise in the future. The problem of the relation between theory and practice in the knowledge economy is getting more important and not lessimportant with the development of the BRICS and other nations. TAKE main question will be one of the problems of the 21st century. Following the promising start of TAKE 2016 in Aveiro, Portugal, TAKE 2017 was organized by the Faculty of Economics of Zagreb University, around Prof. Blazenka Knezevic. I would like to thank her and her team for the massive effort in putting TAKE 2017 together. It will be a very nice and memorable conference.

Some of the key questions in employment relations, comparative business, and globalization revolve around the extent to which businesses embody a national business system, and what happens when these employment models are exported to other national settings. By exploring the variety of ways in which US multinationals deal with these issues, and their reception, when operating in Europe, Phil Almond, Anthony Ferner, and their contributors examine the interaction between globalization and national 'Varieties of Capitalism'. Using the findings of a four-year international exploration of the management of employment relations in US multinationals in the UK, Germany, Ireland, and Spain, this book examines what is distinctively 'American' about these companies, and how this notion is exported. The process is shown to be one that is not a technical managerial one, but one that is highly political, and 'negotiated', in which groups and individuals at different levels within the company try to influence the terms of transfer. These questions are not only of theoretical importance, but also of practical significance in terms of the transfer of management knowledge and 'best practice'. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and advanced students of HRM, International Business, and Organization Studies, as well as HR practitioners concerned with US multinationals operating in Europe.
From the mid-1980s to the turn of the 1990s the international HRfield was considered to be in its infancy. There continues to beboth an evolution of territory covered by the field – aseries of successively evolving cultural, geographical andinstitutional challenges faced by the multinational corporation(MNC) – as well as more critical questioning whether this hascreated an expanded or a fragmented field. This book brings together the latest research on important“issues-driven” concerns that the field of IHRM now hasto face, absorb, interpret then reanalyse through internationallenses. This volume gives attention to those aspects of MNCbehaviour – choices about location, how they organize localsubsidiaries, choices made about technology, capital and labour,and choices made about investments and strategies – that aresubject to institutional influences. It also gives voice to anumber of contemporary issues – reverse knowledge flows,skill supply strategies, employer branding, e-enablement,outsourcing, global networks – that now need to beaccommodated within the field. Broadens the IHRM field to cover comparative and institutionalperspectives Provides a multi-level analysis of globalization phenomena atthe individual, organization, and macro level Focuses on the current problems and issues driving theattention of IHRM Directors
