Research Abstract |
The utilization of cultural diversity、by a Japanese multinational company、can be gauged by its progress in shifting to local hiring for its overseas operations. Previous studies conducted on these companies have highlighted the problem of a slow transition to local hiring. This study discusses the reasons for such slow transitions by examining the difference between the overseas and domestic conditions that make transferring tacit knowledge difficult. Further、this study presents policy implications to be considered to overcome these difficulties.
