Human Resource Management Practices and Diversity Management in International Organizations : Recommendations for Japanese HRM

This paper provides an overview of human resource management (HRM) practices in International Organizations and discusses their Diversity Management. In view of the organizational structure, International Organizations adopt performance-based management which is different from the management practices in Japan. Thus, clarifying the differences of the management style will help promote a better understanding of Japanese corporations which are rapidly shifting their market base outside Japan. International Organizations also implement affirmative action programs to upgrade the status of women. Understanding more about Diversity Management in International Organizations will also be beneficial for Japanese companies, as it provides them with real insights into the global market.
