Sažetak
The Central and Eastern European International Research Team (hereafter CEEIRT) –
composed of researchers from universities from the Central and Eastern European Region
has developed a model of human resource management practices in the subsidiaries of
multinational corporations in CEE Region. This model was used to explore and describe
the changes of key HR variables in the light of different firm specifi c factors. The model
was equally applied across the SEE Region and in research have been included 12 countries
and 286 subsidiaries of foreign owned companies. Based on this model, an interview
and on-line survey of top level HR executives at 10 subsidiaries of large multinational
companies in Croatia and at 276 executives in other CEE countries was completed. The
paper describes how these practices and roles have developed in response to the sweeping
economic changes within the region and points out the expectations of practitioners for
the future. According to the model applied, the research has covered the most important
organizational and economic characteristics of the MNC subsidiaries in Croatia, key indicators
of the HR function, the most important HR characteristics of the period examined,
knowledge management in the fi eld of HR including main directions, methods and characteristics
of knowledge flows, and finally, the future of HR describing the most signifi cant
changes from a HR point of view occurring in the next period.
