	  abstract     = {The emerging markets of post-USSR countries have
attracted Western multinational companies; however, weak
institutions and unstable host country environments have hindered the
implementation of successful management practices. The Ukrainian
market, in light of recent events, is particularly interesting to study
for its compatibility with Western businesses. This paper focuses on
factors that can facilitate or inhibit the transfer of human resource
management practices from Western headquarters to Ukrainian
subsidiaries. To explain the national context’s effects better, a
business systems approach has been applied to a qualitative study of
16 wholly owned Western subsidiaries, dissecting the reasons for a
weak integration of Western practices in Ukraine. Results show that
underdeveloped institutions have forced companies to develop
additional practices that compensate for national weaknesses, as well
as to adjust to a constantly changing environment. Flexibility and
local responsiveness were observed as vital for success in Ukraine.},
