There are three basic issues or approaches to consider when staffing internationally. Each approach has advantages as well as disadvantages:
1. Ethnocentric Staffing: people from the home country manage operations abroad.
2. Polycentric Staffing: people from the host country manage operations abroad.
3. Geocentric Staffing: the best qualified individuals regardless of their origin, manage operations abroad.
Recruiting, selecting employees, training and compensation issues must be carefully addressed.
