The chapter successively examines some of the differences within Europe. It examines differences between a variety of proposed clusters of European countries, exploring in turn categorisations based on HRM-practices, cultural differences, social welfare groupings, and institutional factors such as legislation and politics, and theories of synthetic comparative capitalisms. It discusses HRM in Western Europe beyond consideration of country clusters. Despite taking a Western European frame, there remain differences between individual European countries, geographical differences within certain countries at regional level, and also now emerging institutional arrangements in the context of the changing economic geography of West European firms.
