Abstract

People management will be the biggest challenge for companies in the next 10 years according to eiu/shrm survey. There are different scenarios for future work, which are influenced by economic, technological, environmental, institutional and demographic factors. This paper analysed the effect of internationalisation on human resource management based on the Hungarian Competitiveness Research Surveys 2013, 2009, 2004 and 1999. Generally, the research did not confirm that internationalisation generates higher attention towards employees, although we can find some positive tendencies. Foreign owned companies paid more attention to performance evaluation and trainings. The research identified some factors, which can be improved. For example educational cooperation with colleges and universities.
