CHAPTER 1: Internationalization of HRMIHRM: study and application of all HRM activities as they impact the process of managing humen resources in
enterprises in the global environment
MNE (Multinational enterprise), MSEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), NGOs (non-governmental
organizations).
Drivers of Internationalization:
1. Trade agreements
- Trade treaties between countries, Less trade barriers and open markets, Government supports cross-
border trades and investments, Centre of global trade is moving from West to East
2. Search for new markets and reduced costs
- Global competition, Competition forces organizations to search new markets and lower costs (other
countries)
3. Rapid and extensive global communication
- Technological revolution → global communication easier and faster, Spreading information of people
globally, Creates global expectations about quality of life
4. Rapid development and transfer of new technology
- New technologies are developed around the world and available everywhere, New technologies →
manufacture products and deliver services with quality and prices, Modern education and information
technology allows everyone to play a role globally
5. Improving global education and global talent pool
- Improving education around the → firms produce good products and services, No country has an
overriding advantage in the global economy, Talent pool allows firms to operate anywhere.
6. Increased travel and migration

7. Knowledge sharing
- International firms export their philosophies and techniques to their subsidiaries, spreading knowledge and
their company culture everywhere
8. E-commerce
- World Wide Web made is possible to conduct virtually, A website makes a organization or individual
global.
9. Homogenization of culture and consumer demands
- integration of culture and values → common consumer demands, differences between cultures remain →
firms need to be sensitive for this
Internationalization/globalization: refer to the ever-increasing interaction, interconnectedness and integration of
people, companies, cultures and countries.
Global niche markets: new product, new service, unknown, specialized, not much competition.
Dilemma HR manager: Implementing global policy or responding to local issues.
Measure of Internationalization: number of enterprises across borders, growth foreign investment, trade between
countries.
Focus HR:
1. International firm: developing policies and practices form the centre out to all foreign operations.
→ HR manager in headquarters of a MNE only deals with IHRM issues.
2. Home-country subsidiarie: Integrate local culture and organizational culture into the local operations.
3. Domestic firm: local hospitals, no IHRM. Deals with: hiring employees from different countries and competition
IHRM vs domestic HRM: IHRM more HR functions and activities (expacts), broader expertise and perspective, more
involvement in peoples lives, more external factors (visa’s).
IHRM tasks: merging cultures, developing strategies for managing different languages, address different expectations
of employees, global HR strategies, Global staffing and global compensation and benefits
CHAPTER 2: Strategic International HRM
Stages of Internationalization: Each stage has a method for market entry. The market entry choices depends on the
MNE strategy, timing and options available.
1. Portfolio Investment: beginning to invest in foreign firms
exporting: and export products
1
, 2. Sales subsidiary: a local sales office (more formal) responsible for international sales
3. Licensing: locating local firms who can manufacture their products
Franchising: creating package of key ingredients for success and franchises to overseas investors
Contracting: firms increasingly sub-contract all manufacturing firms abroad
4. Wholly-owned subsidiaries: Greenfield= open field in order to build subsidiary brownfield= purchasing
existing facilities to develop subsidiaries.
Maquiladora: A kind of subsidiary with special characteristics who are interesting to foreign parents (attracting
investments and special treatments). A twin plant: US and Mexico
5. International Joint Ventures: Two or more firms create a new business (to make new products)
International Merges and Acquisitions: One of the preferred market entry methods in both developed and
emerging markets.
International Alliances, Partnerships and Consortia: Different from joint ventre, it is not legal. It’s a
partnership or agreement. Just a corporation.
Auxiliary methods of Internationalization: → methods to extent the internationalization
1. Outsourcing: firms contract out business processes to other firms
2. Off-Shoring: outsourcing business processes to other countries for lowering costs
3. Born-Global firm: Almost immediately operates in global markets due to the nature of its products (IT)
Difference outsourcing vs off-shoring: outsourcing a process to a foreign company where you have business, give
another company the right to do something for you → off-shoring buying company in foreign company and do it
yourself.
Success outsourcing depends on: support of client organization, communication to affected employees and the
firms ability to manage the service providers
Issues when going offshore: Expertise in manging remote locations, cost of labor, language skills.
MNE Business strategy:
- gives a direction for managing subsidiaries.
- Integration: the way which subsidiaries and the HQ are a unified whole
- Local responsiveness or differentiation: the way subsidiaries respond to local differences
4 types of strategy
- International: low local, low integration
Exporting and importing products, licensing or sub-contracting, no or small sales office overseas
- Multi-domestic: High local, low integration
Responding to local market, subsidiaries are specialized at local market and independent → so firm wants
integration with the regional HQ at a regional subsidiary.
- Global: Low local, High integration
One strategy for all the countries
Transnational: High local, High integration.
A global network where each subsidiary has responsibility
