Multinational corporations (MNCs) seek to transfer their home-country human resource management (HRM) practices to their overseas subsidiary as to them it is just another approach towards globalisation.

Pakistan is enormously confined within a foreign group of countries. And they manipulate us as they want and we are bound to follow them. A country prospers only when the basic requirements, food, clothes and shelter, are rendered to its citizens. But to do so, first we have to liberate our homeland from foreign affairs.
