Download or read book Going Global written by Kyle Lundby and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s global organizations operate at an extraordinary level of complexity. They not only contend with diverse languages, cultures, and political/legal situations, they must also deal with differences based on national boundaries, organizational size, product and services mix, functional specialization, and customer sets. Going Global offers human resource professionals and I/O psychologists a comprehensive resource for meeting the challenges of the global work environment. Edited by Kyle Lundby, along with Jeff Jolton and a team of leading-edge practitioners, this comprehensive volume uses the employee lifecycle as an underlying framework and is organized into three sections: Practical considerations for HR and OD practitioners in a global environment; Attracting and selecting global talent; and Maximizing performance in the global workplace. Within each section, authors explore key cornerstones of I/O practice (e.g., selection, leadership development) applied to the global workplace. Going Global outlines the best practices in the field and is filled with down-to-earth advice from those who have worked in the field. The book not only provides insightful analysis of such broad topics as what it means to be global and HR’s strategic role in global organizations, it examines the undercurrent of culture and its pervasive influence on organizations and the people that comprise them. Going Global also contains valuable information on global employee attraction, selection, and retention strategies, as well as current thinking about intercultural competence training, work-family balance, and the expatriate experience. Going Global doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach but rather includes many strategies and solutions that can apply to a wide variety of situations and organizations. Going Global offers firms a roadmap for creating a winning program for international success.

Download or read book Important Selection Criteria for International Assignments written by Theresa Möller and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,3, University of Kassel (Wirtschaftwissenschaften), course: International Human Resource Management, language: English, abstract: “The performance of global firms depends on their ability to cope with heterogeneous cultural, institutional and competitive environments.” In today’s world of globalization more and more people are sent abroad by their company. Most of these companies are multinational companies (MNEs) that have subsidiaries, cross-border alliances, international joint ventures or franchise partners. There are so many reasons why companies are sending employees abroad, for example for preparing and managing a merger and acquisition or just to make experiences abroad for a better intercultural understanding between the home company and the host company. The ultimate objectives are knowledge transfer and a common corporate management. As soon as a company leave the national borders it is predicted that it needs employees who are able to manage in an international environment. The IHRM (International Human Resource Management) of a company has therefore a difficult selection process to handle. In this term paper the targets and motivations for an international assignment will be outlined from the entrepreneurial as well as from the employee’s point of view and demonstrate how these motivations play a role for a successful international assignment. In the main part it will be shown which selection criteria are important concerning the selection of global managers. Here a global manager is synonymous with an international assignee or an expatriate because most of the assignees hold a leading position. This term paper is not concentrated on selecting for a special international assignment like for a merger and acquisition or a joint venture, but for selecting assignees for international assignments in general, trying to identify the concerning problems for a long-term assignment. It is to point out which are the criteria and requirements for global managers an international environment. Furthermore two important factors for selection will be pointed out more precisely, the cultural and the family adjustment. For the IHRM the political and juridical subject like international compensation or international contracts is an important issue but it would take us too far afield and thus unregarded here. In this text the female form is renounced for a better reading flow, but the male form always implies the female form, too.

Download or read book Handbook on Women in Business and Management written by D. Bilimoria and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This very impressive Handbook takes established research topics about women in management and treats them in fresh and novel ways. The chapters are intellectually interesting, sound, and provocative, and meet the editors aspiration to stimulate high quality research on women s experiences in work organizations. I recommend it highly. Jean M. Bartunek, Boston College, US This comprehensive Handbook presents specially commissioned original essays on the societal roles and contexts facing women in business and management, the specific career and work life issues of women in these fields, organizational processes affecting women, and the role of women as leaders in business and management. The essays shed light on the extant structures and practices of society and organizations that constrain or facilitate women s representation, treatment, quality of life, and success. Despite decades of ongoing inquiry and increasing interest, research on women in business and management remains a specialized field without mainstream acceptance within business and management disciplines. The Handbook presents the current state of knowledge about women in business and management and specifies the directions for future research likely to be most constructive for advancing the representation, treatment, quality of life, and success of women who work in these fields. It provides the foundations for improved societal and organizational structures, policies, and relational practices affecting all in business and management. Thus, by enhancing the knowledge base that improves the work and life situations of women, it suggests ways to elevate the societal and organizational systems for all. The Handbook will be an essential reference source for recent advances in research and theory, informing both scholars of organization studies, gender, diversity, and feminism; human resource specialists; and educators of and consultants to business organizations and management.
