This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.7 (73), University of Hertfordshire, course: Leadership and Management Development, language: English, abstract: Anglo-French Wines Direct (AFW), a multinational company based in the UK, established a ‘High Flyers Programme’ four years ago to develop future leaders to enable to achieve its global growth objectives. The aim was to send them to one of the international subsidiaries for two years and bring them back for a more senior position. However, the new HR Director of AFW has discovered the following problems within this programme: 1. 25 percent of the expatriates returned home early due to dissatisfaction. 2. Over 35 percent of the expatriates were considered to be underperforming on the assignment. 3. Around 30 percent expatriates left within a year of their return to England. In order to achieve its business objectives, it is essential that AFW turns round this failing programme into a leading-edge leadership programme. Particularly since AFW is a large company and plans to expand its business further, it is according to Burgoyne (1988, cited in Gold et al., 2010) vital that the programme has a high level of maturity, i.e. complexity and structure, enabling to meet the organisational needs and objectives. Thus, AFW needs to take a strategic and integrative approach and manage each stage of the ‘International Assignment Cycle’ (See Appendix 1), i.e. recruitment and selection, hiring, preparation, expatriation and repatriation, effectively. Accordingly, this report aims to present a mix of solutions regarding each stage and provide recommendations for evaluating the new programme to ensure its effectiveness.

Download or read book Critical Analysis of Possible Causes of Expatriate Failure at AFW Direct written by Anna Jung and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-25 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 73 (outstanding), University of Hertfordshire, course: Leadership and Management Development, language: English, abstract: Anglo-French Wines Direct (AFW), a large multinational company based in UK, established a ‘High Flyers Programme’ four years ago in order to develop middle and senior managers of the future to enable the achievement of its global growth objectives. The aim was to send them to one of the international subsidiaries for two years and bring them back for a more senior position in the UK. However, the new Global HR Director of AFW has discovered several problems associated with this leadership programme. More precisely, she identified the following three types of assignment failure: 1. 25 per cent of the expatriates returned home early due to dissatisfaction. 2. Over 35 per cent of the expatriates who remained in post were considered to be underperforming compared to local management’s expectations of them. 3. Around 30 per cent of those who completed their postings, left within a year of their return to England. These outcomes, however, are not attributable to a particular cause but are rather influenced by a variety of factors which will be analysed more closely in this report. Generally speaking, it can be assumed that the reasons for the present difficulties are mainly due to an ineffective management of the ‘Ideal International Assignment Cycle’ (see Figure 1) which includes the key components recruitment and selection, hiring, preparation, expatriation and repatriation and will be elaborated on below: [...]
Download or read book Developing Global Business Leaders written by Torsten Kühlmann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-10-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widening gap between the requirements of multinational organizations and the strategic and managerial abilities of their leaders, many of whose core experiences predated the globalization of business, has created the need for this book. Editors Mark E. Mendenhall, Torsten M. Kühlmann, and Günter K. Stahl have organized the results of their research—and that of their colleagues in the fields of leadership development, international management, and organizational psychology—for the benefit of scholars and practitioners alike. After surveying current practices to bring the reader up to speed on global leadership development as pursued by the United States, Germany, Japan, and with regard to women in leadership positions, the book's focus shifts to a discussion of effective organizational processes. In the third and final section, contributors analyze the research that has been done on extending human resource management functional practices—such as selection instrumentation, the use of assessment centers, multinational work groups, cross-cultural training programs, and repatriation policies—to global leadership development. The editors define and analyze global leadership and, in their review of the research, clarify exactly what we know and don't know about developing global leadership skills and what it might be profitable to learn. Practitioners will benefit from the contributors well-grounded insights into such issues as the key distinctions between global and domestic corporations, which dimensions of competency transcend internal corporate leadership dimensions, and how global leadership competencies should be developed.

Download or read book Expatriates and Managing Global Mobility written by Soo Min Toh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-23 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multinational enterprises continue to rely heavily upon expatriates as part of their global workforce. These expatriates, whose exact employment contract may take different forms, are assigned to help them develop global skills as well as to foster knowledge transfer. But managing this expatriate workforce is extremely complex, requiring a questioning of assumptions and sensitivity to new social and cultural dynamics. This book sets out to examine the problem of expatriate management through an I/O Psychology lens. Each chapter draws upon the expertise of scholars from around the world to provide insights into the latest research findings and remaining needs, pertaining to a wide variety of issues. The contributors of this book review the current state of the research of the issue at hand and then make recommendations for where the new frontiers of the research should be in the coming decades. This volume covers four sets of issues pertaining to expatriate management and global mobility in depth. First, the different decision points organizations must make about assigning someone to an overseas location for some period of time; second the different categories of employees in the multinational corporation and their unique characteristics and challenges; third, the various issues and implications of managing a globally mobile workforce; and fourth, the unique contexts of global mobility. Overarching future research themes are identified that lay out the research agenda for the coming decades. By bringing together key research, this book aims to help I/O psychologists understand, explore, and identify new ways of contributing to the understanding of the issues involved in managing an expatriate workforce. Incorporating state-of-the art I/O psychology research in this unique context bears the promise of yielding important new paradigms and practices.
