Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Foreign-owned companies that hire and train local, host-country people frequently experience a common, and disruptive, IHRM problem. In many countries, there is a shortage of talented, experienced managers and other skilled employees. The best of these people may be pirated away by local firms or other IC subsidiaries, as local executive recruiters are constantly on the lookout to make raids and entice the most talented employees to leave the original IC and join another firm that is seeking to overcome its own shortage of skilled personnel.
