The IHRM is focuses more on how to select, recruit and\nretain managers for international operations, rather than focusing on how to manage\ninternational employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we moved along, \u201cexpatriates\u201d. An expatriate is\nan employee who is working and temporary residing in a foreign country. The\nfundamental difference between domestic HR and IHRM is that staff are moved\nacross national boundaries, thus expatriates e are born. Hence it is natural in\nan IHRM subject to focus more on handling these expatriates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There can be three types of employees in an international firm. Employees from where the firm is headquarted is known as Parent Country Nationals, employees from where the subsidiary is located are known as Host Country Nationals, other country nationals are known as Third Country Nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-cultural\ncommunication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, among various countries cross-cultural\ncommunication is very necessary so that they can understand each other\u2019s\nthrough religion ,culture, art , literature, foreign policies ,fiscal polices\n,etc. such type of bridges of understanding will help to lessen and minimize\nthe gap between two culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cultural Differences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That culture played a major role in IHRM as it\ninvolves understanding and handling a new culture and a new social system. what\naspects should an international HR manager should focus on and how he should\nrespond to cultural differences in an international arena. But the topic had\nlot more to offer than what I initially anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individualism vs\ncollectivisms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a individualistic country people would priorities\nthem self ( USA) where as collectivism country people would priorities group\nneeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncertainty avoidance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People would try to minimize risk they face in a\nsituation ( avoiding paralysis through analysis ) usually countries with long\nhistory and traditions have a high uncertainty avoidance. Countries such as USA\nwell come higher risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masculinity \/ femininity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masculine-<\/strong> tough value dominant Eg; success, money,\nsatiates, competition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feminine-<\/strong> tender values dominant such as personal\nrelationships, care for other\u2019s, quality of life etc. When we take Sri Lanka\nfor a example I think we have feminine culture even though have many\nmasculinity futures. The best example for this is during the tsunami situation\nwhole county get together to help the tsunami victims within ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an excellent model where you can get a quick\nidea about something complex as a national culture. we believe this simplicity\nitself is the major short coming of this model. Hofstede selected a country and\ngave marks to each dimension, thinking that the culture is static. But we all\nknow that in today\u2019s context culture is anything but static, it changes at a\nrapid pace, thus a country which was once collectivist could now be\nindividualistic due to many reasons such as economic pressure, government\npolicies etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But overall the model is excellent to get a glimpse of\nwhat an unknown culture would look like, but we do not believe that you can\nmake sound business decisions based on this model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we had understanding about how to analyze a national culture, and also the importance of culture to employees and international HR managers. It was evident that this should be the starting point of any international HR plan. Decisions should be taken where culture is kept at the center, as the success of implementation will depend on how well international employees accept your plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
