The primary objective of this report is to compare and analyze the practical experience by working to link the theoretical knowledge with its application in a real life situation and analyze it from an International Human Resource Management (IHRM) point of view. The purpose of this project is to get a practical exposure of International Human Resource Management activities so that as a future manager I can carry out our day-to-day management responsibilities properly. By doing this report I am now able to compare what I have learned in our course with the realistic corporate world.
