چکیده
This article presents a study of the degree to which national institutional settings impact on the application of management practices in foreign subsidiaries of multinational companies.

The analysis indicates that while US subsidiaries adapt to the local setting in terms of applying calculative HRM practices, they also diverge from indigenous firm practices.
