Abstract

A Nation's culture is made up of values, beliefs, perceptual orientations, language, religion, ethnic and racial identity, and cultural history & traditions and geography of that country among many other things. It not only influences family life, education, economic and political structures but also our ways of doing business. Any induction of management techniques inconsistent with national culture can lead to the failure of the method, business not to mention can cause conflict between an MNC and its employees and, perhaps, the broader society. The present paper is an attempt to understand the basics of HR in light of international boundaries. It compares the HR practices of India which is a developing country and Canada, a developed country.
