This research is being undertaken as part of an international project involving the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Spain.The aim is to advance our understanding of how and why multinational companies export human resources practices, as a function of their organizational configuration, and to determine whether there is truly a movement towards global convergence or, conversely, whether certain practices are basically influenced by the institutional system reigning in each country.
