From the Paper:

"The human resources function within Stanley may have a dramatic impact on the company's ability to expand successfully within India and other worldwide entities. The human resources function touches on many critical areas in the organization including staffing, training and compensation to name the least. Their policies and procedures ultimately impact the organization's culture, incentives, compensation and other systems that promote organizational development. It is vital that in a global environment the human resources firm operate in a manner that reflects the aims and objectives or organizational goals of the firms as a whole."
