Abstract In today’s business conditions, the internationalisation of business becomes an almost inevitable precondition for future growth and development of organisations. However, internationalisation of business usually requires organisations to implement some changes in the way they operated in the previous period. One of the areas that require some changes is the area of human resource management, too. Factors which require modifications in this system are related primarily to the legal regulations of other countries, but also to the characteristics of their national culture. The former influence comes from the fact that national culture exerts a powerful influence on the system of values, attitudes and behaviour of people in a particular country and, among the other things, on the preferences for policies and procedures in the field of human resources management. Starting from the above, this paper analyses the impact of certain dimensions of national culture on the preferred content of human resources management in organisations in certain countries. The aim of the paper is to provide the theoretical basis for organisations that internationalised their business, or intend to do so, to create system of human resource management in the entities abroad which, at least, will represent the balance between the system that is applied at headquarter and one that is preferred in entities abroad, in order to be effective.

In this article we set out to examine how human resource professionals view the challenges facing South African companies. The views of a representative sample of human resource professionals were obtained to find out, in particular, what changes they expect in human resources management (HRM) in the future and what priorities need to be set for successful human resources management in a changing environment. In terms of human resource management objectives, respondents indicate that currently the emphasis in their work is on efficiency, human resource development, and industrial relations. They believe the major objectives should, however, emphasize human resource development and facilitating change, with considerably less of their time being committed to industrial relations issues. In terms of human resource activities, highest priority is given to managing organization change, affirmative action, and introducing participative management. Currently they are spending most of their time on industrial relations activities and training. Perhaps surprisingly, not much attention is being paid currently to the activities of cross-cultural management, and community upliftment and involvement. In the research we also investigate the balance of human resource responsibilities between HRM and line management. Activities which are perceived to be line management responsibilities are performance appraisal and employee communication. Those which should be a shared responsibility include employee development and affirmative action. Most respondents believe that the rate of progress with affirmative action is too slow. Perhaps predictably, human resource professionals see the most important challenge facing commerce and industry in the next five years to be the human resource challenge: in particular the need to improve productivity, affirmative action, training and development, and managing the demands of unions. The skills needed by human resource professionals to meet the challenges are sound 'business skills' as well as 'people skills'. They also need sound business knowledge and qualities of adaptability, empathy and sensitivity. In particular they need to be able to play a change agent role in their organizations.
