Resumo(s)
Corporate relocations are an important part of today’s globalized economy. Willingness to follow a company relocating from employee’s perspective is one of the most documented approach on the topic. While concentrating on employees, past studies have largely ignored the HR department actor and more specifically its challenge at leading the change in any type of relocation context. Focusing on Volvo Construction Equipment’s (VCE) partial corporate relocation from Brussels (Belgium) to Gothenburg (Sweden), this study examines an international corporate relocation where some actors were involved and others left out from the move. The HR department was found to be the only resource able to align both Employees and Business in this context: acting as a strategic function rather than a support one. This study contributes to the Literature by stressing the role of the HR department and its challenges in an international and partial corporate relocation process.
