Globalization and HRM Strategies
A recurrent buzzword in the modern day business community is represented by globalization, which is understood as a phenomenon by which the boundaries of countries become less strict and they allow people, resources, capitals and the economic, political, cultural, technological and other elements to easily move from one location to the other.
