Abstract

This chapter explores international training and management development, an under-researched topic in the IHRM literature. The sample South Korean MNEs provided expatriates with extensive language training prior to departure and following arrival, but inadequate and low-rigor cross-cultural training. Limited training was provided to HCN production and office workers. The sample MNEs paid little attention to management development to both expatriates and HCNs, which had a negative effect on employee organizational commitment and retention. South Korean MNEs tended to adopt an integrated approach to HCNs’ training and development. This finding provides some support to the national cultural view and relative strength theory.
