| Abstract: | One influential view in an ongoing debate is that non-union multinationals have transferred a range of innovative human resource management (HRM) practices into Ireland, which splinters the traditional industrial relations system in the country. This article reports the findings of research which investigates the conflict management strategies of 83 non-union multinationals. The main finding of this research is that most non-union multinationals are not transplanting innovative conflict management strategies into Ireland. This article seeks to explain this trend by suggesting that the longstanding tendency to categorise multinationals mainly into "ethnocentric" and "polycentric" organisations is not keeping pace with the growing sophistication of international strategic HRM. |
