Human resources management systems consist of peripheral and core areas.
In terms of peripheral areas, researched Japanese, American, and European firms
keep local laws and are eager to adapt to local customs. Concerning core areas,
the American firms firmly affect their company value/mission on their human
resources management systems and supervise senior-level managers worldwide.
Although the Japanese firms are enacting their vision/mission, the vision/mission
has not yet given sufficient impacts on their human resources management
systems.
