1. Introduction
In the global business community, there is a pressing concern regarding how to develop geographically dispersed global human resource (HR) leaders in a manner that provides global HR practices that are tailored to local business practices, host country laws, and cross-cultural diversity (Friedman, 2007; Morris et al., 2009). More pressing to the HR management (HRM) field is how to transform HR into a core business process that can achieve the financial outcomes that positively affect bottom-line results and stakeholder satisfaction. A review of the current literature does not reveal an abundance of advances or proven practices that work best for international HRM (IHRM) because further studies and research are necessary to bridge theory and practice. The researcher selected IHRM as a topic to further broaden his perspective with the addition of new information, case studies, global issues, and further implications for HR practitioners. The researcher discovered that IHRM is ever- changing; it is in a constant state of transformation and refinement to accommodate the host country’s rules and business practices. Indeed, it is due to the nature of IHRM (global implications, cultural diversity, and local practices) that the topic and practice warrants increased focus and attention by society, HR, and management scholar-practitioners. The U.S. and its global neighbors are in an economic crisis, and the future appears uncertain. As organizations compete for consumers, they are discovering that they must take the fight to their competitor’s homeland. Thus, HR leaders’ catalyst for this approach becomes a growth strategy in which global HR practices are implemented across borders. It then becomes vital for HR practitioners to transform HR into global core business processes that change with the practices, laws, and values held by that host country’s potential employees and customers.
