The main goal of this research, conducted from Mar 2004-Aug 2004, is to detail the executive staffing practices of US-Mexican joint ventures. As the US and Mexico increasingly engage in global business, multinationals adopt joint ventures as the predominant mode of entry. Therefore executive recruitment and selection practices, is a critical first step for international joint ventures. However, there is a paucity of research on executive staffing practices of US-Mexican joint ventures. This book helps to overcome this research gap by comprehensively showcasing executive staffing practices of US-Mexican joint ventures. The main results identified external and internal methods of recruitment and a variety of hiring practices to glean the best talent. This research also examines the role of firm characteristics on executive staffing practices and details the challenges of cross-cultural survey research. This information will provide valuable information to HRM practitioners to get a global perspective on staffing practices and researchers will gather important guidelines for international research.
