Summary

In this chapter, we provide a review of mainstream practice and research on global mobility compensation. We begin by briefly explaining the traditional system used for international compensation, namely, the balance sheet system, and identify its main advantages and weaknesses. We then describe and structure the current landscape of international compensation, highlighting the increasing variety and complexity that characterizes this essential area of global competitive dynamics in human resources. The paper concludes with a discussion of some topics and themes for future research in this area.
