Abstract | The aims of the paper are to firstly to investigate cultural and societal differences between Germany, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia and secondly to compare the effect of perceived cultural differences between managers on the transfer of human resource policies between German Fortune Global 500 industrial companies from -electrical, mechanical and chemical- industries and local Asian plants. The analysis of twenty four in depth interviews with Human Resource directors and line managers contrasts cultural differences regarding policy or practices. Convergence is confirmed on a policy level with crossvergence taking place on a process level. The role of the subsidiary HR director as a cultural translator and regional team player is confirmed. |
