This Toolkit is called ‘International HRM’ and that is the term we use when referring to HR professionals working across borders. However, in our opinion, technically an
‘international organisation’ is one which is either owned by several governments (intergovernmental organisations) or include global non-profit organisations
(international non-governmental organisations). The term ‘international organisation’ has now fallen into everyday management use and is applied to all kinds of organisations.
However, we are keeping to its original definition to distinguish such organisations from multinational corporations and enterprises.
