Strategic international human resource management approaches in the maquiladora industry: a comparison of Japanese, Korean and US firms

Article Abstract:

Mexico has attracted an increasing number of international enterprises which invest in the country through the maquiladora option. The approach to human resource management of these companies can be classified in three types. One type emphasises control, a second is more paternalistic, and the third is a more developmental approach. Mexican managers can themselves contribute to boosting productivity as is shown by the DataMex example. Investment in Mexico can allow these companies to build up skills to compete in the global market.
