International Human Resource Management (IHRM), ‘as concerned with the human resource problems of multinational firms in foreign subsidiaries (such as expatriate management) or more broadly, with the unfolding HRM issues that are associated with the various stages of the internationalism process.’ (Boxhall, P. 1992).
In every multinational organisation, HRM is one of the most important departments which lays the main foundation to the firms by its employees. It benefits the organisations but problems do arise in some or the other way. This paper talks about the current issues that arise in the daily activities of the business which is being faced by the organisations which deals with cultural differences and create problems for the managers …show more content…

• The general views of employees about the organisation’s destiny, purpose and goals and their place in it.
Australia’s culture is very different from Peru as there is more of autonomy and individualism. There is no need for supervision of employees which is in Peru. All the employees are treated at the same level which is in terms of power also. Power is one of the things which differentiate the gap between the employees. In Peru, this is not the case; they are totally opposite of Australia which is why Ed had faced problems in the Peruvian company in both working and adjusting.
Power distance is when the power is distributed unequally to individuals in an organisation or institution. Peru ranks quite high with 64 where the employees are supervised and looked on their work all the time by their managers, whereas Australia is quite low with 36 as they have more of autonomy and individuals are more trusted and assigned their work …show more content…
In this individuals are asked to come up with the alternatives to avoid them by following rules and regulations so that the organisation is not harmed. Uncertainty avoidance in both the countries is high but Peru ranks more than Australia which says that uncertainties are avoided in Peru than in Australia.
Individualism is when societies are expected to look after him/her and his immediate family. But on the collectivist side people by birth are integrated into strong and cohesive groups (extended families) which included their grandparents, uncles and aunts which continue them in protecting them for loyalty. They are more focused on group tasks, unlike individualists who focus on their work only. Australia who ranks 91 is highly individualist than Peru who ranks only 16. Ed might have faced problems as he is used to focusing on his work rather than people asking him about his work which Peruvian company was doing.
In masculine culture, men are more focused on work and success while, in feminine culture, women are modest and believe in maintaining relationships and focus on life than work. In this case, Australia has more of masculine culture whereas Peru is none of them. No gender dominates the
