Abstract
Within the Human Resources (HR) management field, a number of writers have considered various aspects of the working environment that should be taken into account by staffing strategy and policy. HR management is concerned with people, culture, incentives, and control. Therefore, it should be congruent with the chosen strategy. As the last chapters show, there is a chain-linking, particularly regarding the nexus of growth, strategy, innovation with a company’s approach, manifestation, and culture of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)-related values and virtues. The chapter summarizes the literature dealing with international HR tasks that is important to introduce the next case study that presents an internationally operating, innovation-driven start-up company broadly breaks down into tasks relating to the preparation and training of expatriates as well as further organizational issues such as the integration of employees from abroad and culturally related compensation issues.
