Abstract

Recent global challenges, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, have underscored the critical role of human resources in international business, pushing disruptions and innovations to the forefront of international human resource management (IHRM) research and practice. This special issue editorial provides a timely and in-depth examination of the evolving IHRM landscape, reflecting on the profound changes brought by the pandemic and investigating the transformative potential of AI-driven innovations in shaping an uncertain future. Through our exploration, we challenge several dangerous assumptions that global leaders must navigate and propose a forward-looking research agenda for the IHRM field. Our analysis highlights five key themes: (1) demographic shifts and diversity, (2) evolving patterns in globalization and global mobility, (3) the complexities of managing global workforces, (4) emerging dynamics in international careers, and (5) the role of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and international small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Together, these themes offer a comprehensive framework for advancing IHRM research and practice in an increasingly complex and dynamic global environment.

回顾过去，展望未来：国际人力资源管理的变革、创新和未来趋势

最近的全球性挑战，特别是 COVID-19 大流行病，凸显了人力资源在国际商业中的关键作用，将颠覆和创新推向了国际人力资源管理（IHRM）研究和实践的前沿。本特刊社论及时深入地探讨了不断演变的国际人力资源管理格局，反思了大流行病带来的深刻变化，并研究了人工智能驱动的创新在塑造不确定未来方面的变革潜力。通过探讨，我们对全球领导者必须驾驭的几个危险假设提出了质疑，并为国际人力资源管理领域提出了前瞻性研究议程。我们的分析突出了五个关键主题：(1) 人口结构变化和多样性，(2) 全球化和全球流动性的演变模式，(3) 全球劳动力管理的复杂性，(4) 国际职业的新兴动态，(5) 跨国企业（MNE）和国际中小型企业（SME）的作用。这些主题为在日益复杂多变的全球环境中推进国际人力资源管理的研究与实践提供了一个综合框架。
