Abstract
Since the early roots of globalization, there has been a call for the field of human resource development (HRD) to take an active role in international firms, particularly multinational corporations that manage across home and host country entities (Bartlett et al., 2002; Marquardt, 1999). It is hard to imagine this endeavor without virtual human resource development (VHRD), given how technology mediates communication, assists with the training delivery, develops and improves organizations, and carries out the day-to-day functions of a workplace.
