This report examines cultural and institutional factors of Mexico and how they can impact global HR management and practices. Specifically, by analyzing Mexican culture based on Hofstede’s dimensions, economy, labor legislation, union and employment tradition we reached the conclusion that the features of Mexican culture (high power distance, strong collectivism, high level of masculinity and uncertainty avoidance) and institutional factors have a strong impact on management styles and HR practices of business in Mexico and may arouse some challenges for global company and their expatriates, especially those from countries that bear different cultural features and institutional conditions. In order to minimize the potential conflict between Mexican local employees and expatriates, parent companies need to provide trainings (culture assimilation, country condition, etc.) before sending anybody to Mexico. Also, whether the expatriates should put more effort to disseminate home country (headquarter) culture or to adjust to local culture depends on the company’s strategy in terms of being localized or standardized around the globe.

A multinational corporation houses other offices and factories in different countries and regions (Investopedia.,2014). In addition, these corporations tend to have a centralized office where global management is carried out. Becoming a multinational corporation has the advantages of vertical and horizontal economies of scale as well increased market share due to the increased outputs (Investopedia.,2014). To contrast these corporations can be portrayed as entities that seek political and economic control. While this perception is not always the case it does occasionally occur because big businesses can impact the countries they are in.

The HRM policy of a firm is looked as a most important strength which needs to be taken care of all the time to have a competitive advantage within the industry they operating in. 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. It can be an element of success for MNCs if they manage to transfer these HRM practices across their subsidiaries in an effective manner. An effective transition of these policies depends on the organisational, cultural, social and relational factors (Bartlett & Ghoshal 1998; Evans, Pucik & Barsoux 2002; Poedenphant 2002). The transition of these policies

Governments might change or new political parties might be elected, but the concern of the multinational corporation is the continuity of the set of rules or codes of behavior and the continuation of the rule of law—regardless of which government is in power.

Multinational Corporations (or MNC’s) are businesses with operations placed in various countries other than the home country where all functions are managed. Traditionally, it is up to the federal government to prevent these entities from abusing their power and violating International Law by implementing regulations. However, because of their transnational status, MNC’s are separate from the government, the state, and society; giving them the ability to act outside of public standards. This has caused problems in the international realm as it frees up opportunity for corporations to abuse their power due to a serious

They need to build integration among HR practices and strategies of its auxiliary firms in distinctive region with a specific end goal to accomplish general organizational targets. Then again, these associations additionally guarantee a critical level of adaptability in their IHRM procedure on the grounds that representatives from distinctive nations are sponsored by diverse cultures and social qualities. Adaptability impacts the workers' execution. Due to the strengths of globalization and the associations' interest to create and implement a worldwide methodology, International Human Resource Management (IHRM) is turning into an essential to accomplishment of the organizational. The essential distinction between domestic and global human resource administration is the knowledge and obligations

Over the years, Multinational enterprise have matured and developed into large companies that they are now part of our everyday lives. Form the use of mobile phones to the cars, personal computers and their software and even the beverage we drink, most of these products are supplied by Multinational companies. Their existence has great impact on our lives. In the world today, Multinational enterprises are powerful companies and they own resources in excess that most host countries possess. These companies are so powerful that they turn out to be power centers that can manipulate the host countries and even international organizations and at times the affairs in its home country.

Managing HR in MNC is different from the way the HR is being managed in the country, According to Morgan (1986) there are three factors that differentiate between IHRM and domestic HR: First, the countries of operations such as the -country where a subsidiary may be located, the host-country where the subsidiaries are located, and other countries. Second, the different types of employee, in international environment the HR management have to deal with the host-country nationals (HCNs), expatriates or home-country nationals (PCNs) and third country nationals (TCNs), for example if L’Oreal hired an Indonesian employee in their Indonesian subsidiary the employee is a HCNs, and when manager from L’Oreal Headquarter in France came to work in Indonesian subsidiary the manager is a PCNs, and if L’Oreal employs manager neither from Indonesia nor France to work in their Indonesian subsidiary the manager is TCNs. Third, is the way HR practices (eg. staffing, compensation, training, and etc) are conducted. Although IHR practices seems to have the same activities as domestic HR, in IHR the manager will be dealing with different environment and diversity of employees from different cultural background. Moreover, as mentioned earlier dissimilarities between domestic and international HR management mostly due to profound differences between host and home countries in term of culture,

The purpose of this report is to define & understand how a MNC effect or effected by Home & Host country environments. Due to increasing global competition, changes in economic & political system business organisation are facing rapid change in business environment. The world is separated politically & financially into 200 countries separate countries where each country has its own laws, judiciary system and boundary regulations. We will be discussing how a MNC adapt these differentials and contribute to improve the economy and standard of living of the society. Multinational corporations have a huge impact on the host country economy as well as there are some problems also created by MNC in host country. For the view of

Increased business globalization, emergence of new economic hubs like BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as well as more intense competition among organizations at the domestic and international level alike over the past two decades, have necessitated the need for studies in the comparative Human Resource Management (HRM) (Budhwar & Sparrow, 2002a). As a result, a growing number of conceptual (Aycan, 2005; Edwards & Kuruvilla, 2005) and empirical studies (Bae, Chen, & Lawler, 1998; Budhwar & Sparrow, 2002b; Easterby-Smith, Malina, & Yuan, 1995) have addressed the configuration of HRM in different

Transnational Corporations (TNCs), also known as Multinational corporations (MNCs), are businesses that have subsidiaries in at least one other state other than their home state (Jackson, 2013) Due to their reach they have a fairly significant role on global politics. They control the mass of the economy and GDP of many states, place pressure on policy makers through their decisions and influence the decisions of citizens through media. They, however, would not be able to function without the rules and economic control states have to create a market place and media channels. This limits their power to an extent but they still retain a position of power within the global political scene.

The world has become increasingly connected and informationally literate at an unprecedented rate through the advent of the internet, subsequently, accelerating globalization and the spread of western values. Because of this global-westernization, nations are trading and economies are growing around the world. Countries that were once thought of as poor and third-world–such as India, China, and South Africa–are facing exponential growth. Out of all this economic prosperity comes out multinational corporations worth billions of dollars. Multinational countries aren’t anything new or exciting–they’ve been around for hundreds of years, one of the first and most notorious multinational corporation being the Indian East Company–but their numbers and influence seem inexorably certain to grow in the wake of global prosperity. This magnitude of globalization is unprecedented, and because of this we should stop to
