ABSTRACT
Corporations’ competitiveness on a global scale is largely contingent on fi rms’ abilities to strategically adapt, reconfi gure, and acquire the resources needed for the ever-changing global marketplace. Given that it is the people within organizations who sell and market, develop products, make decisions, and implement programs, human resources (HR) are vital to the success of an organization. The selection of human talent worldwide should be congruent with the organization’s strategic plans, a manifestation of the fi rm’s strategic capabilities and values, and a means to facilitate the successful implementation of the fi rm’s global business strategies.
