Half had plans to implement the Directive and half did not. All indicated that various EU policies such as health and safety affected their operation, each indicated a different set of policies. No pattern appeared in regard to the questions concerning globalization either. The main conclusion which I reached regarding the experience is that the information regarding the consequences of EU policies will be very difficult to obtain and will require personal interviews and probably repeated interviews. Since HR managers are affected by national laws, they are not always aware that the national laws derive from an EU directives. In addition, HR managers may not know about pending policies that are under discussion elsewhere in the corporate hierarchy. The findings of a field research effort would be fascinating to have. We know little about the impact of EU policies on the operations of American MNCs. The objective, however, will have to await a more ambitious program than is possible at this time.
