- WORDS:

- PRICE:

The International Human Resource Management (IHRM) for Wal-Mart Inc. produces this report in light of the Company's interest to operate in China. The report highlights the concerns that a possible China-market operation would entail regarding the nature of Human Resource Management. In addressing these concerns, the report advances recommendations, which is expected to assist in the design of suitable IHRM strategy for the intended subsidiary. This report could not be completed without using inferential and assumptive postulates as it is understood that any inherent IHRM implications start from grasping the very mode of market internationalisation that the home Multinational Enterprise chooses. Regardless of the type of IHRM strategy that Wal-Mart chooses for its China operation, the report acknowledges that there is no definite model to implement IHRM. The only shortcoming would be failure to adapt the chosen model to the host country—China, and to changing trends even when it has begun operations.
