La Costbucks is an Italian coffee bar chain specialising in organic high quality coffees and French pastries. Its unique stance on CSR (corporate social responsibility) and ethically sourced delicious products have made it a big hit in Europe where it also has stores across the UK, France and Spain. La Costbucks is looking to break into the Asian market and is planning to open its first stores in Shanghai and Beijing (China).
As before, the new stores will operate in a very similar way to operations in Italy (HQ), with the same product line in order to retain their individuality and unique ethical selling point.

b. The key cultural differences between Italy and China and how this may impact HRM and managerial practice.
c. The most effective IHRM staffing strategy to adopt (citing appropriate models)
d. The difficulties expatriates (PCN’s & TCN’s) specifically may face adapting in China and ideas to overcome these.
