Multinational corporations are increasingly reliant on a cadre of key individuals for organizational cohesion, and to implement globalization strategies. Survey evidence, however, suggests that many firms are mismanaging the performance, reward, and recognition of these “global champions.” Existing HRM literature largely overlooks the problem. Drawing on a “holistic HRM” analytical framework, the research reported here evaluates how a sample of leading MNEs is addressing this challenge as a source of transnationally competitive advantage. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
