National companies do not become global companies immediately. Involvement in international HRM depends greatly on a company 's phase of globalization. Import-export firms. Firms in the first phase of globalization simply move products across national boundaries. The firm does not employ people in other countries, except a few managers responsible for negotiating business agreements. These agreements usually involve buying or selling complete products or services. Import-export firms need to understand their trading partners ' cultures and usually must overcome communication barriers to negotiate agreements. Negotiations are usually done by expatriate representatives, but expatriates are not employed as extensively by import-export firms as by multinational enterprises. HR policies and practices remain relatively unchanged from the company 's traditional home-base practices. (HR Magazine,06-01-1995)

Human Resource Management (HRM) is an integral element of any global organisations' international business strategy as globalization is accelerating cultures together faster than ever as the product lifecycles in industries continue to accelerate. In addition to the quickening pace of innovation globally, the accuracy required in terms of knowledge management to ensure these initiatives keep pace with globally-based timelines is more critical than ever. While accuracy, acuity of information sharing and the continual pace of global innovations quickens, cultural constraints continue to keep global organisations' from attaining the greatest potential. These cultural constraints, so nuanced and imperceptible to many managers with an ethnocentric mindset, are what HRM professionals excel at ascertaining the relative impact of on global business strategies. Planning for the dichotomies between cultures, beyond the obvious to the nuanced in incorporating the five cultural dimensions as defined by Geert Hofstede, are essential for any global organisation to attain its strategic plans and objectives across multiple locations and cultures (Hofstede, 1998).
