From the Paper:

"Scullion reiterates the importance of the issue of International HRM in the second edition of Human Resource Management: A critical Text, edited by John Story. In this section Scullion elaborates on the ideas that were introduced in the first edition by the same author and editor. In so doing he develops a more complex understanding of the issues that will be decided by international trade and trade agreements and the growth of international markets. In development Scullion acknowledges that IHRM is far more complicated than simply recruiting and or training adequate international managers to fill positions that had previously been filled by members of the origin culture of the company and that they issues include culture, laws, educational standards, regional standards, communications differences and international and national employment standards and laws. (2000, pp. 288-313) Other experts also stress that IHRM is far more complicated than simple management issues, as employees and managers must also follow international employment standards, established in large part by trade agreements. (Briscoe & Schuler, 2004, p. 143)"
