“Are multinational teams more successful?” It is a question posed in an article written by Hartmut Haas and Stephan Nüesch, and published in September 2012 by the International Journal of Human Resource Management. It states that after an analysis of panel econometrics of team observations in a globalised sector, such as the Bundesliga, the highest German soccer league, during seven consecutive seasons, a negative relationship between national diversity and team performance exists. Thus, teams composed by multinational members tend to perform worse than teams with less national diversity for factors such as nationality, language and cultural differences.
It is the belief of this author that this article provides an original, forthcoming approach to the subject in dealing with multinational teams. However, the article also displays significant methodological deficiencies. Specifically, the researchers have not evaluated important demographic indicators, which include where the players grew up, which religion they belong to, and which languages they speak. Consequently, these deficits can have a subsequent impact on the results of the data analysed.
On the other hand, it is well known that in the Human Resource Management system actively immersed in the business world, many important multinational companies, such as Proctor and Gamble, embrace diversity:
