HRM in a Global Environment
Global activities are simplified and encouraged by trade agreements among nations.
Increase and change demands on HRM.
Organizations need employees who understand customers and suppliers in foreign countries.
Organizations need to understand laws and customs that apply to employees in other countries.
![Page 14: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Employers in the Global Marketplace• International organization – sets up one or more facilities in one or
more foreign countries.• Multinational company – builds facilities in a number of different
countries in an effort to minimize production and distribution costs.• Global organization – chooses to locate a facility based on the
ability to effectively, efficiently, and flexibly produce a product or service using cultural differences as an advantage.
• Expatriate—citizen of one country and lives and works in another country
• Transnational corporation – a firm with highly decentralized operations in many countries. Has little allegiance to its country of origin and weak ties to any country
![Page 15: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Some More Definitions
• Parent country – Country in which the company is headquartered
• Host Country – country in which an expatriate works
• Third party national – native of one country who is working in a 2nd country that is owned by a 3rd country corporation
![Page 16: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Transnational HRM System
Transnational HRM system:• makes decisions from a global perspective• includes managers from many countries• based on ideas contributed by people representing a variety of
cultures
• Decisions that are the outcome of a transnational HRM system balance uniformity (fairness) with flexibility (accounting for cultural and legal differences).

Culture
Culture – a community’s set of shared assumptions about how the world works and what ideals are worth striving for.
• Is greatly affected by a country’s laws.
• Influences what people value, so it affects people’s economic systems and efforts to invest in education.
• determines effectiveness HRM practices.
![Page 21: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Culture
• Organizations must prepare managers to recognize and handle cultural differences.• Recruit leaders with knowledge of other cultures• Provide training
• For expatriate assignments, organizations may need to conduct an extensive selection process to identify individuals who can adapt to new environments.
![Page 22: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Geerte Hofstede’s Five Dimensions of Culture
1. Individualism/Collectivism Describes the strength of the relation between an individual and other individuals in the society.
2. Power Distance Concerns the way the culture deals with unequal distribution of power and defines the amount of inequality that is normal.
3. Uncertainty Avoidance Describes how cultures handle the fact that the future is unpredictable.
4. Masculinity/Femininity The emphasis a culture places on practices or qualities that have traditionally been considered masculine or feminine.
5. Long-term/Short-term Orientation
Suggests whether the focus of cultural values is on the future (long term) or the past and present (short term).
![Page 23: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Geerte Hofstede – Power distance
• Power distance is the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions (like the family) accept and expect that power is distributed unequally.
• Individuals in a society that exhibit a high degree of power distance accept hierarchies in which everyone has a place without the need for justification.
• Societies with low power distance seek to have equal distribution of power.
• Cultures that endorse low power distance expect and accept power relations that are more consultative or democratic.
• Example (out of 100): USA = 40 - The extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.
• A society’s inequality is endorsed by the followers as much as by the leaders
![Page 24: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Geerte Hofstede - Uncertainty avoidance
• A society's tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity.• It reflects the extent to which members of a society attempt to cope with
anxiety by minimizing uncertainty. • People in cultures with high uncertainty avoidance tend to be more
emotional. • They try to minimize the occurrence of unknown and unusual circumstances
and to proceed with careful changes step by step planning and by implementing rules, laws and regulations.
• In contrast, low uncertainty avoidance cultures accept and feel comfortable in unstructured situations or changeable environments and try to have as few rules as possible. People in these cultures tend to be more pragmatic, they are more tolerant of change.
• Example: USA = 46; Should we try to control the future or just let it happen
![Page 25: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Geerte Hofstede – Individualism (vs. collectivism)
The degree to which individuals are integrated into groups. • The stress is put on personal achievements and individual rights. • People are expected to stand up for themselves and their immediate family, and to
choose their own affiliations. • In contrast, in collectivist societies, individuals act predominantly as members of a
lifelong and cohesive group or organization • People have large extended families, which are used as a protection in exchange for
unquestioning loyalty.
• Example: USA = 91 - Liberty & justice for all – emphasis on equal rights in all aspect of American society and government
• Example: Saudi Arabia = 25 – People’s self image is defined in terms of “I” or “We”.• In Collectivist societies people belong to ‘in groups’ that take care of them in exchange
for loyalty.
![Page 26: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Geerte Hofstede – Masculinity vs. Femininity
• The distribution of emotional roles between the genders.
• Masculine culture values are competitiveness, assertiveness, materialism, ambition and power
• Feminine cultures place more value on relationships and quality of life.
• As a result of the taboo on sexuality in many cultures, particularly masculine ones, this dimension is often renamed by users of Hofstede's work to Quantity of Life vs. Quality of Life.
• Example• USA = 62 – Male - driven by competition; Female – driven by caring for others and
quality of life
![Page 27: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Geerte Hofstede – Long Term vs. Short Term Orientation
• It describes societies‘ time horizon.
• Long-term oriented societies attach more importance to the future.
• In short term oriented societies, values promoted are related to the past and the present, (see Wall Street).
• Example: USA = 26
![Page 28: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Geerte Hofstede – Indulgence vs. Restraint
• The extent to which members of a society try to control their desires and impulses.
• Whereas indulgent societies have a tendency to allow relatively free gratification of basic and natural human desires related to enjoying life and having fun, restrained societies have a conviction that such gratification needs to be curbed and regulated by strict norms.
• Example:• USA = 68 – work hard – play hard – with immediate gratification• Japan = 42 – a culture of restraint
![Page 29: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Education and Skill Levels
• Companies with foreign operations locate in countries where they can find suitable employees – with the right and necessary KSAs – and with the capability to acquire those KSAs.
• Education and skill levels of a country’s labor force affect how and extent to which companies want to operate there.
• In countries with a poorly educated population, companies will limit their activities to low-skill, low-wage jobs.
![Page 31: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Economic System of a Country
• Economic systems provides many incentives or disincentives for developing the value of the labor force.
• In developed countries with great wealth, labor costs are relatively high, impacting compensation recruiting and selection decisions.
• Income tax differences between countries make pay structures more complicated when they cross national boundaries.
![Page 32: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Political-Legal System
• Country’s laws often dictate requirements for HRM practices, e.g. training, compensation, hiring, firing, layoffs & labor relations.
• An organization that expands internationally must gain expertise in the host country’s legal requirements and ways of dealing with its legal system.
• Organizations will hire one or more host-country nationals to help in the process, e.g. contractors or consultants.
![Page 33: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
HR Planning in a Global Economy
• HR planning involves decisions about where and how many employees are needed for each international facility.
• Decisions about where to locate include considerations such as cost and availability of qualified workers which must be weighed against financial and operational requirements.
![Page 34: MGT 430 - 2015 CLASS 19 Chapter 15 GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9327d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
