National embeddedness and calculative human resource management in US subsidiaries in Europe and Australia
研究美国跨国公司在英国、爱尔兰、德国、丹麦/挪威和澳大利亚的子公司如何根据当地制度环境调整计算型人力资源管理实践,并与当地本土企业进行比较。
This article presents a study of the degree to which national institutional settings impact on the application of management practices in foreign subsidiaries of multinational companies. Applying the national business systems approach our study centres on the use of calculative human resource management (HRM) practices by subsidiaries of US multinational companies in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Denmark/Norway and Australia, respectively, in comparison with these countries’ indigenous firms.The analysis indicates that while US subsidiaries adapt to the local setting in terms of applying calculative HRM practices, they also diverge from indigenous firm practices.
