Multinational enterprises in Australia: two decades of international human resource management research reviewed

McDonnell, Anthony

Multinational enterprises in Australia: two decades of international human resource management research reviewed created by Anthony McDonnell - Asia Pacific Journal of Human Resources Volume 49, number 1, .

This paper reviews empirical international human resource management (IHRM) journal articles on foreign- and indigenous-owned multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in Australia. More specifically, we explore the extent to which papers using Australian data in this area are being published in 53 of the world’s leading academic journals and identify the topics that have been researched. We then propose a number of research areas, of Australian and international interest, that researchers could pursue in the future. Our findings point to a picture of limited publications in the leading international journals. There is also support for recent arguments that substantial capacity exists for a greater theoretical contribution by researchers in the IHRM field.
