Summary:As discussed in Section 2, there are a variety of environmental conditions that can influence the approaches organizations use to manage their human resources. These conditions include exogenous factors such as the national culture, legal environment, institutional pressures, and economic and political conditions. These exogenous factors create constraints and opportunities that shape how human resources are managed across geographical boundaries. This chapter introduces the topic and challenges of comparative IHRM, which focuses on differences that exist between countries and regions and examines how these differences create similarities and differences in IHRM policies and practices across countries and regions.
