Dissertation topic:

 

The adaptation of Human Resource practice transfers in MNC subsidiaries. The effect of institutional and strategic complementarities

 

This project examines how transferred HR practices get adapted in MNC subsidiaries. Furthermore it asks why the adaptation of HR practices differs and how the institutional and strategic complementarities influence the adaptation and the change of the pre-existing HR bundle (in the Brownfield sites). The project is based on a comparative case study. The study compares human resource (HR) practice transfers from MNC headquarters (HQ) and the adaptation to acquired (Brownfield) subsidiaries and Greenfield investments in both Liberal and Coordinated Market Economies.
