Abstract

This study provides a systematic review of literature on the analytical perspectives and empirical research on human resource policy and practice in multinational companies (MNCs) in Africa. There is a need to ‘take stock’ of research publications on HRM in MNCs in Africa both intellectually and practically. The review identifies modes of analysis and thematic approaches in HRM literature on MNCs in Africa. The results provide support for particular clusters of research literature. These pertain to interests and motivations of MNCs, comparative political economy and institutional theory, labour market and HRM modes of analysis, cultural paradigms of indigenous management thought and clusters of HRM practice research. Areas for further research are identified.
