The rapid increase of multinational companies over the last years created the need to understand better the development, diffusion and implementation of international competitive strategies and their effect on human resource management. This study makes an attempt to link international strategic management theory to human resource management examining the alternative competitive strategies for multinational companies, the characteristics of the each strategy, the factors affecting the choice of strategy, the main advantages and disadvantages of the strategies and the evaluation of alternative international strategic options. The second section of the study examines the operation of human resources management in multinational corporations and presents the main functions and activities of the International Human Resources Management, the strategic activities, goals and challenges of International Human Resources Management and the impact of different international competitive strategies on human resources management.
