Tiivistelmä
Experience of adaptation and implementation of foreign management models in the functioning of the national companies exists in many countries. The interest of Russian managers in foreign management methods is quite high. The use of foreign experience in Russian companies is associated with the complexity of communication between people with different cultural backgrounds. As a result, cultural differences play an important role in communication between employees, and they directly affect the efficiency of the company.
Present study is aiming at defining readiness of the personnel of the Autobiography Company to adjust to a new work environment, which will appear after the implementation of Japanese HRM strategies and processes in a Russian company.
The theoretical framework of the thesis covers different aspects of intercultural human resource management, starting from the basics of HRM, continuing with principles of intercultural HRM, and ending with guidelines for overcoming cultural differences. The empirical part of the present research contains some theoretical framework concerning the research process with the combination of what was done by the researcher, the results that were obtained during research, and the conclusions on the basis of the findings. Appendices contain two questionnaires in Russian and English languages, frequency tables, and the tables of means of the answers of the respondents.
Quantitative research approach (questionnaire) was used in the present study for collecting relevant data for the research. 37 responses of middle-level managers were collected. Based on the research results, the employees of the Autobiography Company are ready for significant changes in the management system of the company. One of the strengths of the Autobiography Company is the employees’ overall satisfaction relating working conditions in the company. Still, there was need from the company management side to educate members of the personnel more about the culture they will face up, as the findings had shown that employees were not much aware of the Japanese culture.
