Also, it conceptualizes the role of employee retention in localization. Design/methodology/approach: The paper explores existing literature on localization and strategic human resource management antecedents. Also, it reviews literature to come up with a conceptual framework regarding the link between strategic human resource management antecedents and employee retention within the literature.
