Constructing Employment Practices in Multinationals: A Framework for Analysis

Marta Kahancová

Chapter 1 in One Company, Diverse Workplaces, 2010, pp 18-44 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Because of an ability to draw on multiple resources and operate simultaneously in differing conditions, MNCs represent the organizational face of internationalization and transmission of employment practices across borders (Geppert and Mayer 2006; Rubery and Grimshaw 2003). These pressures tend to be similar across different countries; but evidence does not offer a coherent pattern of how MNCs develop a legitimate role in shaping host-country employment standards, how employment practices are constructed, and whether MNCs drive their cross-country diversity or convergence (Ferner, Quintanilla and Sánchez-Runde 2006; Maurice and Sorge 2000; Michailova 2002; 2003).
