Conclusion
The aim of the paper was to review and bring together the research on advances in the
field of GPM as an IHRM practice, to explore the field, discover the main issues and
link them to organizational strategy and individual benefits. The important papers and
books mentioned above were found to have commented on the field of PM between
1982 and 2009. During this period, the perspective has shifted from looking at the more
technical appraisal to a more extended and integrated PM process in MNCs. For a
global company, PM is a tool for managing performance and motivating employees to
act in accordance with the strategy, vision and values of the company, in time leading
to better performance for the company and possible growth.
