Abstract
The paper addresses the issue of ‘reverse diffusion’ in the field of HRM, defined as the transfer of practices from foreign subsidiaries to the domestic operations. Pulling together the limited relevant findings from previous research, and drawing on our own case study evidence, it provides a set of structured arguments about the logic, determinants and mechanisms of reverse diffusion.
We are very grateful for comments on earlier drafts of this paper from anonymous MIR referees and from participants at the conference on Multinationals and Industrial Relations at Wayne State University, Detroit, USA, 1st-3rd April 2000.
