| Abstract: | The authors set out a framework of "four key influences" on the way American multinational companies approach the management of labour and go on to use this framework to assess existing literature concerned with US MNCs. While this review reveals a number of general tendencies, it also reveals a number of gaps and weaknesses. In particular, the authors argue that previous research has failed to develop a convincing understanding of how the "embeddedness" of US MNCs in their country of origin informs the behaviour of these firms as employers outside the USA. |
