International HRM
IHRM issues that occur when organizations undertake cross-border mergers, acquisitions and international joint ventures
Globalization of economic systems has created a new business environment in the last couple of decades. This trend is largely driven by international trade and multinational corporations expanding crossed international borders.

Globalisation has presented business organisations with an opportunity to do business internationally. Today, multinational corporations (MNCs) are prevalent, with many commanding immense power in the global marketplace. Nonetheless, operating in the global scene is usually not a straightforward undertaking. The global business environment presents numerous complexities, which MNCs must effectively deal with if they are to be successful (Noorderhaven and Harzing, 2003).

The management team is literally flying in the dark with no compass, altimeter, or method of navigating just how they are doing, which strategies are working or not, and what corrective action to take to improve.
