One Multinational, Four Host Countries: On Diversity in Subsidiary Employment Practices

Marta Kahancová

Chapter 2 in One Company, Diverse Workplaces, 2010, pp 45-75 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the book’s introduction, I have briefly outlined the existing empirical evidence of MNCs’ employment practices. Despite offering precious empirical evidence from Western Europe and from CEE, the literature lacks systematic internal comparisons on the behaviour and practices of the same MNC across different countries. This gap in the literature has motivated me to design the empirical narrative in this book in the form of an in-depth comparative case study of a single MNC. This method is feasible for a comparison of subsidiary employment practices and the construction process, because it permits a holistic analysis of a set of interrelated phenomena within controlled corporate settings (Boxall 1993; Dyer 1984; Truss, et al. 1997).
