  • Evans, Pucik, and Barsoux (2002) differentiated two major HR strategieslocal responsiveness (i.e., divergence from HR global standard) and globallocal responsiveness (i.e., divergence from HR global standard) and global integration (i.e., convergence toward HR global standard)adopted by MNCs to allocate the resources of their subsidiaries at host country. The global integration refers to the strategy that MNCs utilize HRM practices which are i il t th i h d t t d l th t th isimilar to their headquarters to deploy the resources at their overseas

    subsidiaries. In this vein, the HRM strategy of MNC subsidiaries diverge toward those of locally owned companies (LOCs) at host companies. The advantage of global integration strategy is that MNC headquarters can advantage of global integration strategy is that MNC headquarters cantightly control and efficiently coordinate with the operations of their subsidiaries to ensure the consistency and full implementation of policies from MNCs (Boxall & Purcell, 2008; Evans, et al., 2002; Hannon, Huang, & J 1995)Jaw, 1995).

    In contract, the local responsiveness strategy indicated that MNCs allow their overseas subsidiaries to adapt their HRM practices which similar to those LOCs at host

This strategy passed on more discretion over MNC subsidiaries, increasing organizational flexibility and agility as the companies faced a more complicated, competitive, and uncertain environment at host-country. Therefore, the local responsiveness strategy leads to similarity of HRM practices between MNC subsidiariesresponsiveness strategy leads to similarity of HRM practices between MNC subsidiaries and LOCs at host country, but difference between MNC headquarter and subsidiaries (Evans, et al., 2002; Ferton_OCreevy, Gooderham, & Nordhaug, 2008).June 2011
