This study is based on 47 interviews with International Mobility Directors across a variety of sectors. It examines how these managers use three strategies to manage local responsiveness (emerging market strategy as an industrial push force; flexibility strategy as an environmental demand or pull force; and strategic HR delivery model as an administrative heritage, organisational capability and infrastructure force) to enhance the ability of the IM function to perform globally as the organisation seeks to both co-ordinate (develop linkages between geographically dispersed units of a function) and control (regulate functional activities to align them with expectations) mobility activity across borders.",
