International Human Resource Management & Cross-Cultural Diversity

Today, expansion of transnational companies, migration patterns and technological advances are the characteristics of an increasingly globalized world and economic system. Over the last two decades there has been remarkable boost in global trade and the expansion of transnational companies have resulted in cross-cultural workforces. There has been unprecedented increase in the number of organizations that have internationalized their operations. This has brought revolution and one of its repercussions the world is facing is the international movement of labor. Borders are no longer restrictive and therefore globalization is the key to growing interest in IHRM.

International Human Resource Management & Cross-Cultural Diversity

Today, expansion of transnational companies, migration patterns and technological advances are the characteristics of an increasingly globalized world and economic system. Over the last two decades there has been remarkable boost in global trade and the expansion of transnational companies have resulted in cross-cultural workforces. There has been unprecedented increase in the number of organizations that have internationalized their operations. This has brought revolution and one of its repercussions the world is facing is the international movement of labor. Borders are no longer restrictive and therefore globalization is the key to growing interest in IHRM.
