本文研究了国家制度设置对跨国公司外国子公司管理实践应用的影响程度。应用国家业务系统方法，我们的研究重点是美国跨国公司在英国、爱尔兰、德国、丹麦/挪威和澳大利亚的子公司对计算式人力资源管理（HRM）实践的使用情况，并与这些国家的本土企业进行比较。分析表明，虽然美国子公司在应用计算式人力资源管理实践方面适应了当地环境，但它们也与本土企业的实践存在差异。
This article presents a study of the degree to which national institutional settings impact on the application of management practices in foreign subsidiaries of multinational companies. Applying the national business systems approach our study centres on the use of calculative human resource management (HRM) practices by subsidiaries of US multinational companies in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Denmark/Norway and Australia, respectively, in comparison with these countries’ indigenous firms.The analysis indicates that while US subsidiaries adapt to the local setting in terms of applying calculative HRM practices, they also diverge from indigenous firm practices.
