The Janus Faces of IHRM in Russian MNEs.

Abstract
This article analyzes variations in the international human resource management
(IHRM) approaches of Russian multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the
contexts of developed and developing countries. The data were gathered
through interviews conducted at the headquarters of Russian MNEs and at their
subsidiaries in developed and developing countries. The results indicate that
Russian MNEs adopt HRM practices of Western origin. However, these MNEs
differ radically in their choices of IHRM approaches. Many of these differences
depend on the countries these MNEs target in their international expansion.
In developing countries that belong to Commonwealth of Independent States
(CIS, regional block of countries that were former Soviet republics), the IHRM
approaches adopted by Russian MNEs typically refl ect a feeling of superiority.
However, in developed countries and in non-CIS developing countries, Russian
MNEs actively promote a mix of global best practices and local HRM practices.
We do not fi nd any instances of the reverse transfer of management practices
from subsidiaries in developed countries to the MNEs’ headquarters or any examples
of cross-pollination among subsidiaries.
