This document discusses international human resource management (IHRM). It provides definitions of IHRM, including Morgan's "3-D" definition which covers HR activities, countries, and employees involved. IHRM is more complex than domestic HRM due to factors like more HR activities across countries, a need for broader perspectives, and greater risk exposure. The document also identifies six differences between domestic and international HRM: human resource planning, staffing, performance management, training and development, compensation and benefits, and industrial relations. Finally, it presents a model of five moderators - complexity, culture, industry, reliance on domestic market, and management attitudes - that influence differences between domestic and international HRM.
