“…INVs, or by emerging forms such as born-globals (those new ventures that enter several foreign markets at a rapid pace and shortly after their establishment) and the cases of emerging market multinationals. These results are in line with Delbridge et al (2011): yet there is a need to broaden the scope and horizons of this field.…”

“…In the case of strategic challenges in SCML, keywords were merged into similar families thematically. In the case of IHRM, this process was supported by families included in the Wasti and Robert's appendix (2003) and an own draft list from key articles, either literature reviews or conceptual ones (Schein, 1986;Napier and Vu, 1998;Cheng and Cooper, 2003;Schuler et al, 2002;Wright et al, 2005;Brewster and Suutari, 2005;De Cieri et al, 2007;Delbridge et al, 2011).…”

“…The question issued was the universal validity of the predominant practices in IHRM stemming from US multinationals (e.g. Delbridge et al, 2011;Ozbilgin, 2004). That perspective has been adopted by 12.8% of the articles analyzed.…”

“…An approach from SIHRM jointly with the challenges of SCML may offer an opportunity to find new research avenues concerning the importance of global managerial teams in SCML. Schuler et al (2002), and Delbridge et al (2011) in a more provocative tone, called for research on SIHRM undertaken from a wider strategic focus. The latter went further ahead and called for a dramatic broadening in the horizons of IHRM, beyond the enterprise, managerialism and universal theories.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to aim at proposing a research agenda in the intersection of strategic supply chain management and logistics (SCML) of global organizations from the perspective of international human resource management (IHRM). Design/methodology/approach – To disclose the intellectual structure of research to date across both fields, the content of up to 280 articles dealing with IHRM and 174 papers addressing challenges in SCML in global organizations from a human resource management (HRM) viewpoint were analyzed. A stepwise hierarchical cluster and discriminant analysis were conducted to map a joint research agenda. Approaches from Upper Echelons theory and Co-Evolutionary theory of global organizations were adopted. Findings – Top management teams (TMT) are crucial to manage SCML successfully in today’s global organizations. Research on this intersection should draw attention to find antecedents, consequences and the process showing how those talented people grouped in dispersed teams can be a source of competitive advantage. Six different areas of research are proposed. It is proposed that future research should focus on the human capital (HC); meaning those key individuals of an organization that make things happen. In the near future, the global organization’s competitiveness will be shaped by how the organization manages its HC in SCML. Methodologies such as meta-analysis are suggested to summarize the extant literature on IHRM when applied to SCML in global organizations. Research limitations/implications – The search was conducted in SSCI-ISIWoK and Scopus databases. As a limitation, some articles and other scientific contributions not abstracted there were not included. Nevertheless, both searches enabled obtaining balanced results between scope and richness of content. Originality/value – Only a marginal portion of literature reviews have been conducted by using mixed methods in the fields of IHRM and SCML. The results will be useful for scholars of both fields in their attempts to enlarge the knowledge boundaries in these areas. From a practitioner’s viewpoint, this research may provide an integrative framework for global organizations to build a competitive advantage based on managing HC and its SCML strategically.

“…Theorising about the role of context within the CHRM stream has also been somewhat eclectic, but has gravitated towards explanations based on the institutional literature -both the traditional theory and its variant new institutional theory -and the comparative capitalisms literature (Delbridge, Hauptmeier, & Sengupta, 2011;Wood et al, 2014). Within both streams, questions have been raised about explanations based on cultural theory.…”
