Since from economics point of view, the productive resources are scarce while as the human needs are unlimited there is need of identifying ways of utilizing natural and capital resources in meeting effectively the unlimited needs of the current and future generations which require a concerted effort of global nations while safeguarding the environment. Cloud computing is one of ICTs model that greatly impacts upon sustainable development in nations which is in its latent stage in developing economies in terms of adoption by stakeholders such governments, learning institutions, business enterprises, consumers partly because of lack of knowledge about it and the challenge of adequate infrastructure. With cloud the resources which were utilized traditionally – software, hardware, storage facilities, computing are centralized and virtually accessed at any time from data centres.

The success of MNCs especially in emerging economies depends on the extent they cope with competitive market dynamics in various sectors. One way of coping with the situation is through effective recruitment and selection of the right and diverse employees for business units operated beyond the traditional markets. Effective acquisition of the right human resource is dependent on the policies and practices embraced bearing in mind that there are no universal best practices that could be applied in all the markets. The practices are normally dictated by the parent company and subsidiary relationship, the constantly changing business environment. Based on this backdrop, this article describes hiring issues and empirically evaluates selected recruitment and selection practices for MNCs in the state of Karnataka.Keywords
