Human Resource Management ASSIGNMENT 6:
INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES
Courtney,
Thank you for submitting your presentation. You have mentioned some important points
about HRM. However, I noted that you are not following the APA 6th ed.. I also noticed
that you have not analyzed the objectives of personnel administration and their impact in
influencing international human resource management. You did not offer recommendations as
to how HR managers can train their employees to work with those from diverse cultures and
did not support your viewpoint with local data. The assignment requires 12-15 slides (with a
separate reference slide) and notes length 200-350 words for each slide. I do not see that you
have met these requirements.

“The continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to
economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and
their families as well as of the local community and society at large”(Baker,
2004)
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
 The Corporate social responsibility concept that on a global scale has developed on a country-by-
country basis has been an “unequal process” (Shen, 2011, p. 1365).
 As cited in Shen (2011) some developing countries have not gained a good reputation regarding
the implementation or proper procedures of CSR, “resulting in little social responsibility-related laws
or regulations” that multinational enterprise are required to follow suit with. (p. 1365).
 Ethical behavior from one country to another may differ in each country depending by “its own
unique culture” (Shen, 2011, p. 1365). For the majority of corporate citizenship, “behaviors that are
beyond legal requirements, and their omission are usually not legally punishable” (Shen, 2011, p.
1352).
ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE
Van Buren, (2008) suggested termed fairness in corporations
as “Organizational Justice”; researchers have emphasized theories
that suggest the “idea of fairness” (p. 633) in terms of a utilitarian.
“Management theory is an artifact of the times and social conditions in which it is formulated”
Van Buren, (2008) Five Management Theories –
1. Scientific Management: ‘
2. Administrative Theory
3. Bureaucratic Theory
4. Human Relations
5. Human Resources
MNC
• Morris., Wright,, Trevor, Stiles, Stahl, Snell, & Farndale, (2009) stated “People
alignment is an alignment of goals and direction across an MNC’s subsidiaries”.
• “Multinational corporations (MNCs) able to replicate practices among their
subsidiary units more effectively than their competitors will typically gain a
competitive advantage Research has shown that factors such as national culture
and coordination failure limit transferring and replicating HR practices” (Morris.,
Wright,, Trevor, Stiles, Stahl, Snell, & Farndale 2009, p. 974).
MNC

local responsiveness”. SRIHRM policies emphasis is towards the “interests and needs of stakeholders”
yet this may require companies to change organizational cultures.

“employee oriented policies and practices” (p. p. 1354)

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Assignment 6   International Human Resources: The workplace is also changing at an international level. Teams, made up of international, multi-national, and transitional workers, are driving our nations economic development is intrinsically linked to our global neighbors. E-commerce, international trade, and immigration have diversified both the workplace and who functions as strategic partners. Understanding other cultures and effectively implementing teamwork to accomplish mutual goals can be a challenge. Most organizations today, to at least some degree, operate on a global scale. It is important for the Human Resource professional to understand the different dynamics of global business and the impact that the different cultures can have on managing the human resource aspect of the organization.
  • #4 Holmes & Watts from The World Business Council for Sustainable Development published Making Good Business Sense by and defined Corporate Social Responsibility as Corporate Social Responsibility defined “The continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large”(Baker, 2004) .
  • #5 Each Management theory emphasized “distributive and procedural justice to different degrees”, (Van Buren, 2008, p. 642), and each theory had a hint of “absolute managerial autonomy” (Van Buren, 2008, p. 633). Van Buren (2008) suggested that a normative bases in regards ethical business practices organizational justice struggle to find a balance in that realistic application that accounts for manager responsibility of moral and economic practices in the everyday workplace (p. 642).
  • #6 Dward, Marginson, & Ferner, (2013), suggested that people "operate similarly or differently,” and its essential to pay attention to the details of operation and people operate off social control mechanisms.
