Abstract
This symposium brings together scholars who are taking individual perspectives to norm-making or diffusion in MNCs to engage in a conversation on this frontier of IM and HRM research. We seek to enhance not only the visibility of the growing line of research on globalizing actors in MNCs, but also drive the research agenda forward by discussing common challenges and opportunities. We hope to contribute to connecting researchers and ideas in an effort to achieve a more integrated analysis of what globalizing actors actually do, within institutional and organizational contexts.
