Abstract

This paper focuses on the process of configuring human resource (HR) systems within multinational companies. It is argued that the process involves two major sources of complexity which stem from the HR systems and the multinational context. Three different theoretical stances, the rational choice, institutional, and actor perspectives are used to develop a theoretical standpoint of the process of configuration. It is suggested that a blended approach is necessary to allow a full conceptualization of the dynamic interactions of actors and their context which include different pressures and logics.
