ABSTRACT

A typical high-tech start-up has less than 10 employees. It requires only basic knowledge about general human resources (HR) management. However, because many PhD students in U.S. universities are international students, the probability of hiring non-U.S. citizens is quite high. Th erefore, you will need to learn the SBIR restrictions for non-U.S. citizens, the visa application process, etc. A comparison of HR management between the United States and Japan is also discussed at the end of this chapter.
