For support in the organiza tion of the review process the editor thanks Christopher Gramley. The outcome of the review process was that 13 papers were selected for pub lication in two special issues which both address the field of international human resource management. There were many other very well-written and high quality papers but due to space limitations, the editors could not include more contribu tions. For those interested in the other papers of the IHRM-conference we recom mend the conference proceedings which are available from the University of Pa derborn (Email: [email protected] ). The selected papers can be related to three broad IHRM-approaches which are described below: • Cross-cultural management approach: early work in this field (especially in Anglo-Saxon countries) emphasized a cross-cultural management approach which examines human behavior within organizations from an international perspective. • Comparative HRM: A second approach developed from the comparative indus trial relations and HRM literature seeks to describe, compare and analyse HRM systems in various countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 96 Prozent, Beijing Institute of Technology, course: Human Resource Management in International Firms, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes in how far human resource management (HRM) of the United States of America (USA) will influence European HR practices. When investigating the special features of American and European HRM it becomes obvious that the USA is characterized by low level of state interference and stronger emphasize on individualism. In contrast, in Europe greater involvement of the states and European supranational agencies as well as huge organizational and managerial responsibility towards employees is usual. What is more, trade unions have a high social legitimacy in Europe compared to the USA. Nevertheless, due to different cultural and institutional perspectives of the individual European countries it is difficult to define a common HRM model within Europe. Hence, the discussion of various regional clusters arose in recent years. Although some European countries move towards directional convergence (whether countries share the same trend), final convergence (whether countries are becoming more alike) is still far from being realized. Consequently, it should be assumed that neither American HR practices will significantly influence European HRM nor that Europe will lead towards convergence of a common model in the future. Countries will continue to be different in their HR practices due to their unique cultural and institutional frameworks.
Book Synopsis Cross-National Transfer and Implementation of Human Resource Management Practices in Multinational Companies by : Alissa Hankache

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross-national transfer and implementation of HRM practices in MNCs is a strategic phenomenon since it has a direct influence on MNCs' competitiveness and their performance while providing them with sustainable competitive advantages. Despite the business importance of this phenomenon and after three decades of research, the literature is still fragmented and incomplete especially when it comes to studying the transfer and implementation on several levels. This doctoral thesis aims at proposing a multilevel perspective while covering different levels of analysis on the transfer and implementation of HRM practices in MNCs in order to understand how and to what extent HRM practices are cross-nationally transferred and implemented in MNCs. Data are collected through multiple qualitative methods. Individual level is examined by using the micro-political approach to detect how power used by HQ's and subsidiaries' key players can impact the transfer. Macro level is analyzed by adopting the neo-institutional perspective to explore the impact of institutional isomorphic mechanisms on the embeddedness of personnel selection in the local country context in Lebanon. Organizational level is examined by using the institutional logics to investigate the reasons behind and the way subsidiaries of Western MNCs, in Lebanon, respond to competing market and community logics when it comes to personnel selection practices. The results confirm that a multilevel perspective enables to unveil the complexity of transfer and implementation of HRM practices and contribute to building a holistic and multilevel framework on a complex phenomenon of high importance.

This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 80% (1,0), University of Exeter (Business School), language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction The process of globalisation of business stimulates the mobility of employees and necessitates the Human Resource Management of multinational corporations (MNC) to deal with given cultural conditions of particular countries in order to assess and evaluate their characteristics and value systems. On this basis, a common value orientated corporate culture might be developed which gives an MNC orientation and hence the basis for business success (IBM, 2011). In principle, political and economic characteristics across the globe are structured in terms of the Anglo-American and Rhineland capitalism (Michel Albert, 1991). Cultural differences can be measured on a global, regional, national and organisational level (Edwards and Ress, 2006) and can be distinguished in “Linear-Active-Multi-Active” societies such as e.g. Latin America that is flexible in terms of management rules and “Dialogue-Orientated-Data-Orientated societies” such as e.g. Germany that is more linear orientated focusing on e.g. punctuality (Lewis, 1999). Mostly, the cause for failure in cross-cultural businesses is not the dissimilarity of partners but the lacking understanding for the adverse culture (Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, 1997). The greater the cultural distance however, the more there is a need for parent country national control. Therefore, relevant actions of the International Human Resource Management (IHRM) include having the awareness and knowledge of the diverse cultural differences, supporting assignees in this sense and analysing the difficulties of intercultural interaction within the corporation in order to minimize barriers to collaboration (Holtbrügge, 2008). The subsequent study will critically look into the subject of the IHRM with focus on expatriate adjustment. Beginning with an explanation of the basics and major reasons of expatriate adjustment, the study analyses the cultural dimensions that might influence this challenge. Subsequently the study discusses the actions of the IHRM concerning deployment and suggests measures how expatriate adjustment in MNCs might be facilitated.

This book was released on 2003-03-24 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2001 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.0 (A), European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (FB BWL), language: English, abstract: In the world of today, business is no longer limited by national boundaries. The majority of the world’s large corporations perform a significant portion of their activities outside their home countries. The rapidly emerging global economy creates numerous opportunities for businesses to expand their revenues, drive down their costs and boost their profits. At the same time, markets have become fierce battlegrounds where firms have to fight aggressively for market share with domestic and foreign competitors. It is commonly accepted that one of the primary sources for competitive advantage of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in this globalized business environment is their ability to transfer superior knowledge at the international level1 and to create a “learning organization”2. To succeed, or at least survive, in the global market-place, organizations need to adapt quickly to the changing environment and must commit themselves to permanent learning. This paper presents a general overview of the process of international knowledge transfer within multinational enterprises. It deals with the problems of organizational knowledge creation and sharing. A particular emphasis is placed on the implications for international human resource management practices in managing the international transfer of employees, since global assignments are recognized hierin as the most important mechanism of transferring tacit knowledge3 across borders. As the sharing of easily codifiable knowledge is relatively easy to manage, the means of transferring it are not focused on in this study. [...] 1 See, for instance, Kogut, B. and Zander, U.

Book Synopsis Transfer of HRM policies by : Matthias Meier

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Westminster (University of Westminster), course: Human Resource Management in the Global Environment, language: English, abstract: In general, most of Multinational Corporations (MNCs) with worldwide operations face the same problem of standardisation vs. customisation. On the one hand, MNCs have to meet the need for reaping scale economies and cost reductions and on the other hand they have to be close to the customer and locally responsive to different cultures and tastes which usually raise costs. When it comes to human resource management (HRM), the question arises whether to transfer and apply centrally developed HRM policies and practices in all its operations or to delegate decision making authority to the subsidiaries enabling them to develop entirely decentralised approaches. A hybrid approach can be chosen by implementing central HRM policies that can be applied consistently worldwide and to give responsibility to its subsidiaries in e.g. culture sensitive areas which have to be adjusted to local circumstances. This assignment focuses on training and development issues of a multinational manufacturing company with subsidiaries in 12 countries worldwide and 3,600 employees. It proposes areas where policies should be developed centrally and explains why it should be the central management’s responsibility (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 recommends a way to introduce and to manage adherence to the principles of a centrally developed training policy.
Book Synopsis International Human Resource Management by : Michael Dickmann
Download or read book International Human Resource Management written by Michael Dickmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-04-18 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conducting business across national borders is nothing new; the Knights Templar were banking internationally as long ago as 1135. But modern globalization processes raise different challenges, and as the world becomes smaller and labour movements more common, an international understanding of human resource management is essential. The second edition of International HRM provides a fully updated and revised analysis of this important area. Its innovative, multi-disciplinary approach allows a holistic picture to emerge in which key issues are assessed from organizational, individual and societal perspectives. The collection is divided into three parts: the contemporary internationalization context the management of international employees strategic issues facing international HR managers. Supported by new research, and including work from eminent writers in the field, this book discusses issues as diverse as the relative absence of women in international work, the ethical merits of localization, and the context faced by organizations like the United Nations. It is a valuable tool for all students, researchers and practitioners working in international business and human resource management.

This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, Anglia Ruskin University, language: English, abstract: In their work Briscoe, Schuler, and Claus (2009) point out the challenges that globalisation poses on human resource (HR) practices of Multinational enterprises (MNEs). These include the requirement of a global mindset throughout HR functions such as attracting, engaging, and retaining employees for all countries. Although a MNE operates global it still has to consider and adapt to local conditions and moreover HR managers have to work on their competencies in order to adequately respond to the circumstances. The above summarized statement of Briscoe, Schuler, and Claus (2009) is valid for several reasons which will be explored in the following essay.

This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B, University of Bedfordshire, course: MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, language: English, abstract: The current era is very often termed as New Geography of Investments. It has also been examined that Developing and Industrialised Economies are listed first in the categories of top five economies from where MNCs come. UNCTAD (2004) has classified developed economies into two two groups: Newer Industrialised (Singapote, Taiwan and South Korea) which are successful in establishing good track record and sometime also known as outward investors and the second group is of Rapidly Developing Economies (China and India). The core objective of this report is to discover how MNCs are forming their HRM strategies within the emerging econimies and how much they are successful in aligning their HRM practices with their main business strategies and also with operational activities. This report will be useful in the identification and the analysis of travel of ideas between MNCs residing in East and West in relation to the their purpose and opportunity in accordance to the Human Resource (HR) practices and policies cross national transfer. The case study on Alpha Services provide some interesting insight about the way in which emerging economies’ MNC strategizing and managing their operations in different regions. It has been understood that Indian MNCs are facing many problems in reorganizing their internationalization strategies. Correspondingly, the company’s corporate coordination and control mechanism are highly influenced by multiple issues that the company is facing as MNC from the emerging economy. The approach of Alpha Services in regard to the adoption of performance indicators from its major US based business solution company and then to make those indicators as an integral part of company’s PMS (Performance Management System is seems to be a clear indication of adaptive approach implication specifically for the purpose of management of its subsidiaries located in developed markets. Similarly, the management of Alpha Services does not reflect ethnocentric or exportive approach in managing its subsidiaries in developing markets. It has been shown the unlike markets of US and UK, the company’s managers remain unfamiliar with the Chinese business & cultural environment and left this responsibility to the local managers (with broad corporate oversight) in supervising the company’s operation in China. In 21st Century (Knowledge Economy) it has been seemed that industries like creative & services are dominating the economic paradigm where the til

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,7, FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Berlin früher Fachhochschule (International Management), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Russia’s unique, very dynamic and complex business environment has not only caused great business prospects but also some difficult, painful upheaval. Therefore many Western entrepreneurs still associate risk rather than opportunity with Russia. But nevertheless, Russia still remains the world’s largest country in terms of territory spanning nine time zones with a population of over 140 million people. Such massive changes as the liberalization and rapid growth of the Russian economy, its substantial growth in purchasing power and a relative lack of competition in some sectors make that challenging environment an attractive destination for foreign investment – especially for the German. Since 1997 Germany remains Russia’s most important trade partner worldwide. Russia’s exports to Germany went up to 30 Billion Euros in 2006 and 28.8 in 2007. But for the German companies Russian market is not less important – in 2007 the exports to Russia have had an impressing value of 28.2 Billion Euros which has increased to 20.6% from the year before. It must be noted however, that Russia’s traditional exchange of goods with its Western partners mainly sustains of the export of its raw materials (energy) and the import of manufactured goods. Anyway, the close link and the growing dependency of both countries over the years become more and more evident. And both trade partners are considered as quite compatible as it can shortly be described by: “The German Market can deliver whatever the Russian Market desires”. But these business engagement opportunities now appear in an environment significantly different from the German investor’s habitual home culture – and culture is a crucial factor of human resource management. The essential knowledge of the institutional, managerial and contextual nuances is the key-factor for an effective management of human resources and successful formation of multinational enterprises. This term paper provides the main aspects of HRM in Russia and Germany and an overview about the cultural context in which human resource management takes place. Further on it examines the key human resource issues and concerns of businesses operating in this transitional environment. Moreover, some of Russia’s HR specifics are analyzed and the most effective tools are presented for how to overcome the difficulties and how to succeed in doing business in Russia.
