In other words pick any two HR practices between selection, socialization, training, performance appraisal or rewards and briefly describe (in 200 characters) how (to what purpose), are companies in that country likely to carry out that particular HR function. (for e.g.: In Japan performance appraisal is likely to be team/group based since the Japanese do not believe that individuals achieve alone, but rather that results are only achieved by the group or the collective. Hence, come time for performance appraisal, every member in a group will most likely either be equally praised or equally punished).
