Internal HRMs work internationally or beyond national borders, whereas its Domestic Human resource management works within the set, local, national borders. Although it is know that, the International HRM has to apply to not only the basic rules and regulations but also have to abide by straight international polices such as special work permits, taxation at the international location of work, language requirements, and staying within employment protocols. Unlike the local human resource management they follow the basic rule and regulations pertaining mainly to local taxation and ordinary employment-related issues (www.differencebetween.net).
The top 3 reasons for failure of employee expatriates are, Family stress: would be number one especially for families especially if there are married or even have kids and Spouses tend to get unhappy can’t handle culture shock in the new country, Cultural inflexibility: expatriate mangers not being able to adapt or even adjust to such a difference in culture, Physical breakdown: once they have relocated to places such as Asia, they pick up the motto “whatever it takes” meaning they push themselves and overwork themselves long hours to become successful sometimes causing their families to be financially stable but emotionally unhappy (www.chalre.com).
In my opinion, couple ways and organization can avoid failure with expatriate managers is by hiring candidates that have or are willing to be ambassadors of their country, provide a program to help expatriates and families to be able to adjust, hiring personals that have human relation skills by being able to communicate and interact with the new culture and help reinforce those abilities in the workplace.
