Abstract

This chapter focuses on the industrial relations (IR) challenges that organizations face when they internationalize and locate in a foreign country. The purpose of the chapter is to outline the key IR issues of concern for international organizations and to provide a brief profile of these issues across a select number of countries. International organizations are faced with a whole range of IR challenges in relation to trade unions and collective bargaining and these challenges vary across countries. Understanding the nature of these challenges and how they may differ across countries is hugely important for international organizations as they look to successful invest in a foreign country.
