“…What drives the financial performance of overseas operations of multinational corporations (MNCs) has long been a topic of great interest to academics and practitioners (Douglas and Craig, 1983;Guisinger, 1989;Osland and Cavusgil, 1996).

“…This exploratory study found that MNEs face key issues and challenges related to TM in their Chinese operations (Osland and Cavusgil, 1996;Björkman and Lu, 1999). It is evident that the 'war for talent' still remains very strong in the Chinese context, with the Australian MNEs competing with other MNEs and domestic Chinese enterprise for the best talent (Ma and Trigo, 2008).…”

Past research and anecdotal evidence suggests that talent management issues faced by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) are quite severe. This paper explores the issues Australian MNEs face in attracting, developing and retaining key human talent in their Chinese operations. Utilising an exploratory, qualitative approach involving 20 semi-structured interviews with senior level managers in Australian MNEs, we find that coercive isomorphism in the Chinese regulatory context is a major influence on talent issues. More particularly, the study shows that Australian MNEs experience significant talent shortages, as a result of contextual conditions in the Chinese market. In addition, MNEs experience problems with retention of talent because other organisations, usually Western MNEs, are offering, amongst other things, more competitive salaries.

This study examines the determinants of International Joint Venture marketing performance in Thailand. The data for the study were collected from a self-administered mail survey of 1,047 Thai-Foreign IJVs in Thailand, yielding 203 useable responses from firms that were primarily engaged in agricultural, metal-working, electrical and chemical industries. From the application of the exploratory factor analysis and the discriminant analysis the critical determinants of IJV marketing performance in Thailand were identified as market characteristics, conflict, commitment, marketing orientation, and organisational control.
