Download or read book International HRM and Development in Emerging Market Multinationals written by Paresha Sinha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging multinational enterprises (or EMNEs) have made a huge impact on the international business stage by internationalising at a rapid rate. And they have performed remarkably well in both developing and developed countries. Accordingly, there is a growing strand of literature on how EMNEs manage their international human resource (IHRM) practices in different international contexts. However, the majority of the literature on IHRM practices of EMNEs is limited to explaining what international management practices EMNEs implement in their foreign subsidiaries and how they implement them. Too often, EMNEs struggle to transfer their weak management practices across national borders as they have limited experience, resources and capabilities when compared to MNEs from developed countries. Developing a better understanding on the manner in which EMNEs adopt their international human resource management and development practices abroad is, therefore, paramount to fully understand their globalisation-related behaviours. This dedicated book will aim to provide a holistic picture and contemporary insights on IHRM in emerging multinational enterprises. It will be of interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of business and management, especially those with a particular interest in human resource management, firm internationalisation and emerging markets.

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.

This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, 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 a

This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 24 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.

Download or read book The Internationalization and HR Strategies of Emerging Market Multinational Enterprises EM MNEs written by Chaturong Napathorn and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses a matched case comparison of two Thai multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the food industry, Charoen Pokphand (CP) and Thai Union Frozen Products (TUF), to examine how emerging market MNEs (EM MNEs) successfully overcome the liability of foreignness and the liability of origin. I also examine whether different business strategies and internationalization strategies are associated with different HR strategies for managers and professional employees in EM MNEs. CP, the world's largest producer of animal feed and shrimp among other products, is a paternalistic corporation that has focused on an exploitation business strategy; it has grown organically in the international arena from a family-owned business. It has remained almost completely vertically integrated across its supply chain. By contrast, TUF, the world's largest canned tuna producer, has focused on an exploration business strategy, has expanded globally through M & A, and has outsourced parts of its supply chain. Its HR strategies for managers and professional employees diverge as a result. CP mainly relies on internal labor market or "making" HR strategies to build a set of loyal Thai and local managers and professional employees who run their operations at headquarters and in other developing countries (south-south expansion) to overcome the two types of liabilities. By contrast, TUF, relies on external labor market or "buying" managers and professional employees from other well-recognized companies when it enters developed countries (south-north expansion) to overcome the two types of liabilities, to learn from developed country practices, and to help integrate the headquarters with the brands and / or subsidiaries. Keywords: Emerging market multinational enterprises (EM MNEs), liability of foreignness, liability of origin, internationalization strategy, human resource strategy.

Download or read book Regional Strategies in a Global Economy written by René Haak and published by IUDICIUM Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both proponents and opponents of globalization assume it is a process that sweeps across national borders. Indeed, over the last twenty years, the key features of globalization provide prima facie evidence for this conventional wisdom. Dramatic developments in information and communications technology, the rise of global companies and production networks, the unstoppable internationalization of financial markets, and the deregulation and privatization of service sectors are all important examples of how this process unfolds in its raw form. Nevertheless, the increase in regional economic activity is another striking feature of this process. As multinational corporations extend their global reach, regional networks also emerge in the global trading system. Globalization therefore does not only mean a global convolution of economies, but could also lead to a spatial concentration of economic activity. All through the 1990s and at the beginning of the new century, East Asia experienced numerous structural changes leading to interesting market developments. South Korea’s rise to developed country status, the integration of the Southeast Asian economies, and the rise of China have made this region the manufacturing center of the global economy. Considering the economic importance of Japan and the other East Asian nations in the world, the crucial questions that arise include: What are the linkages between the global strategies of multinational corporations and their regional business operations? Why do subregional strategies emerge, especially recently to take advantage of China as a production base and market? Are the modern business practices in a multinational corporation’s home country easily transferred to their overseas operations and are they readily absorbed by local employees? Finally, which strategic directions are Japanese, American, East Asian and European enterprises going in this important business area of the world? To answer these questions, this book takes a closer look at several structural features of the East Asian economy and the corporate and business strategies of multinational corporations. The volume assembles up-to-date research by a number of European, Australian and Japanese scholars, and presents analysis of various business aspects of regional strategies in a global economy.
