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 manageme

Download or read book Human Resource Development in the Russian Federation written by Alexandre Ardichvili and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike Brazil, India, or China, prior to the beginning of market-oriented reforms in early 1990s, Russia maintained a high level of human capital and possessed a highly developed system of vocational education, continuous education, and management development institutions sponsored by the government. However, after the beginning of the market reforms many state-sponsored programs were disbanded and individual enterprises and newly emerging private educational institutions found themselves in a position of having to provide training and professional development services for future and current employees. Both government-level policies in support of HRD and enterprise-level HRD systems have emerged fairly recently in the Russian Federation, and are still in a stage of change and development. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of HRD in the Russian Federation. It covers country-level policies, organizational-level programs and strategies, and individual-level educational and training efforts. While the study is focused on Russia, its conclusions will be of value to scholars, students, and practitioners examining similar issues surrounding the emergence and development of HRD systems in emerging countries. Furthermore, the authors’ framework for analyzing HRD on multiple levels and across various parts of the adult and vocational education and development systems offers a unique and important contribution to the theoretical debate on comparative educational systems outside the HRD and HRM communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Human Resource Management Casebook is a collection of business teaching cases, focusing on Human Resource Management issues around the world. Each case is based in a single country and illustrates one or more significant challenge faced by managers and HR practitioners. The influence of the unique national cultural and institutional context upon the issues in the case is emphasized. In total 32 unique and original cases are presented, each from different national contexts. Every case is followed by a set of questions for use in class discussion or private study of the cases. This casebook is a project undertaken by a committee of international members of the Human Resources Division of the Academy of Management (USA). The HR Division currently has over 3500 members worldwide, indicating a significant immediate audience for the text. The committee, referred to as the HR Ambassadors Committee (James Hayton, Chair) is intended to represent the global membership of the organization. We currently have members in over 60 countries, and Ambassadors for over 50 of these. The committee was established to contribute to the internationalization of the HR Division and the Academy of Management by creating collaborative projects that both involve and serve the global membership. This book, which represents the first product of our collaboration, is expected to provide a useful teaching tool for HRM educators, and secondarily is expected to be of use to HR practitioners with an interest in the globalization of HRM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, Furtwangen University; Villingen-Schwenningen, language: English, abstract: With this paper I want to provide an understanding of the cultural differences of Germans and Russians in terms of doing business together. Germany is the most important foreign trade partner for Russia and the business relation is forecasted to remain attractive for both parties. (www.auswertiges-amt.de) If managers from different cultures do business together, it is very important to be aware of the cultural differences when conducting business abroad to understand the business partners better. Culture is “something (...) that shapes behavior, or ... structures one’s perception of the world.” (Nancy J. Adler, International Dimensions of Organizational Behaviour, p.54; 2008) There are many aspects to look at, if you compare the German and the Russian culture. I used the cultural dimensions developed by Geert Hofstede and chose three dimensions, which I think are most relevant in this context, to point out cultural differences between Germans and Russians. This paper will first look at the differences in power distance of both countries. Then it goes on with the effects of the different scores in masculinity. The third dimension covered in this paper is uncertainty avoidance. It is to mention that Hofstede has not published any large-scale empirical studies for Russia, but he provided estimates.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper reports the results of a survey of top executives of Russian manufacturing subsidiaries of multinational corporations (MNCs). We reveal the prevailing types of job contracts and the use of monetary and non-monetary benefits, and find the similarities with and differences from such arrangements in locally owned industrial companies. We also reveal the differences in human resource management (HRM) policies based on the source of authority over HRM issues (global headquarters, regional headquarters, local groups of companies, etc.). The findings assist in predicting the possible evolution of HRM policies in Russian manufacturing subsidiaries of MNCs during the anticipated period of economic recession in Russia.

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.

For support in the organization of the review process the editors thank Christopher Gramley. The outcome of the review process was that 13 papers were selected for pub­ lication in two special isslIes 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 Paderborn (E-mail: [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 cOllntries) 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. * HRM in mulfinationalJirms: A third approach seeks to focus on aspects ofHRM in multinational firms, especially expatriate management and HR in subsidiaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original publication in 2000, this text has been intended for students studying HRM for the first time. Its major features are its comprehensive and wide-ranging nature which deals with all major aspects of HRM in a down to earth and practical way, alongside the necessary theoretical underpinning. The key strength is its accessibility to students new to the subject area where it combines a clear explanation with numerous relevant and interesting cases and comments. The range and nature of HRM is fully illustrated by a combination of real life and fictional case studies which heighten awareness of key issues involved in HRM today. This new edition will continue to be appropriate for undergraduate courses, especially first and second year students studying an HRM degree but also for post-graduate courses where many students are new to the field of HRM. It continues to be divided into 12 chapters to provide one topic a week on a modular course, but it may be extended into two semesters. It has been revised to place a greater emphasis on the role of human resources in improving organisational and employee performance. These revisions include the greater use of technology in resourcing and development areas, the change of emphasis from ‘recruitment/selection’ to ‘talent management’ and the use of social networking developments as an aid to HR management. Recent legal developments will also be covered including those relating to age discrimination and the regulation of agency workers. It will be supported by a supplement for tutors and additional web-based cases and other materials for tutors and students.
