| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Published the following two papers in international journals (i.e. ABS rank 3 out of 4) in AY2022.
Soehardjojo, Delbridge, and Meardi (forthcoming)
This article contributes to debates on international HRM diffusion both by highlighting hitherto neglected arenas of host-country resistance and identifying the multiple levels at which this plays out, through qualitative research on the transfer of Japanese multinational corporations’ HRM practices into Indonesia. We reveal that alongside apparently consensual micro-level (organization) relations between home- and host-country management, important political power games are occurring at the meso-level (subnational). These games involve competing notions of ‘best practice’ with host-country actors more powerful than deterministic models of diffusion would predict.
Soehardjojo and Delbridge (forthcoming)
This article investigates how meso-level actors (MeLAs) contribute to HR practice transfer in diffusion and adaptation processes, drawing on the System-Society-Dominance-Corporate Effects (SSDC) framework to interpret the role of MeLAs in the transfer of the Japanese management model to the Indonesian automotive industry. It focuses on two issues: i) the impact of Japanese MeLAs' training in Japan on the model's diffusion, and ii) the coordinated strategy of Japanese and Indonesian MeLAs in knowledge-sharing and facilitating model adaptation in Indonesia. The study highlights MeLAs' significance in diffusion-adaptation in emerging markets with weak regulations and asymmetric power relations, extending the SSDC framework.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
By the end of this May 2023, I’ll complete data collection and focus on analyzing the audio transcripts and literature review. In the coming two months, I’ll be focusing on writing/drafting the paper and aim to have the full first manuscript by the end of this summer. It will then be submitted to the Journal of Operation and Management (ABS rank 4).
