This paper addresses the topic of Japanese human resources management effectiveness in non-Japanese environments by trying to identify management systems and practices of selected Japanese subsidiaries in the Arabian Gulf Region. The findings indicate that Japanese subsidiaries in the Arabian Gulf Region have not been able to apply the Japanese-style management systems. The management systems for these Japanese subsidiaries in the Arabian Gulf Region have been apparently modified to suit the local environment.
