Un ignorado espacio social: un marco teórico para el análisis de la denominada "expatriación" de directivos multinacionales

Abstract

part of an attempt to simplify and clarify, International Human Resource Management (IHRM) tend to considered “culture” as differential and established according to each national state. This is why, IHRM, in its inter-“national” dimension, is also assumed to be inter-“cultural.” It goes without saying that, from a socio-historical perspective, to relate national states with cultural differences, and the latter with differences in the behavior of individuals, requires abundant justification which most works, namely American, have contributed to generate. This “culturalistic”, multinational and managerial perspective, is not only an “academic” discourse, but a managerial one, generally use in Multinational Corporations to justify power relations inside and outside the organization. The present article tackles the question of expatriation from a critical perspective towards the literary tradition on international management culture is adopted.
