1. Think about two businesses: (1) a manufacturer of athletic gear and (2) a property and casualty insurance company. How might the internationalization of each of these companies differ from the other? What factors might account for these differences? Choose one company and pretend that you're the HR director. How would you figure out the "right" way to manage this international expansion?
2. How do differences in international HR management (IHRM) strategies affect the relative importance of each of the HR domains?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using parent-country, host-country, and third-country nationals? Under what specific circumstances might an organization choose to utilize third-country nationals?
