This research analyzed the human resource management systems of Japanese automakers Toyota and Nissan at their UK production plants. It found that while the companies tried to implement their original Japanese practices internally, their production management systems were not fully successful due to organizational differences from their home operations in Japan. The researchers interviewed workers and managers at the companies' UK and Japan plants to understand differences between the countries in implementing lean production principles.
The authors argue that theory and methods are interrelated and should inform each other. Theories without empirical implications are speculative, while methods without theoretical foundations can be empty. The paper invites discussions on how methods shape theory development and vice versa. The authors propose a model where theoretical work leads to empirical study which then seasons and strengthens theory. They suggest survey research to examine how established theories are grounded in both theoretical work and empirical evidence.

The document discusses strategic international human resource staffing for foreign subsidiaries. It proposes that as organizations internationalize, their staffing strategies should evolve from relying primarily on expatriates, to also utilizing inpatriates, third country nationals, and local nationals based on the level of goal congruence and knowledge symmetry between the parent company and subsidiary. It outlines eight propositions regarding optimal staffing choices at the multinational and global stages of internationalization depending on effort/outcome and cultural symmetry. It also provides recommendations for selecting and supporting inpatriate managers to address their unique adjustment needs.

This document discusses the history and development of Islamic groups and influence in Pakistan from its founding to the present. It outlines how Islamist groups like Jamaat-e-Islami advocated for an Islamic state and influenced leaders and policies over time. Figures like Maulana Mawdudi established early Islamist organizations, while Zia-ul-Haq greatly expanded Islamic influence in law and education. Current Islamic parties employ both parliamentary and at times militant strategies, and relations are complex between the state, army, and radical groups.
Strategic global human resource management (SGHRM) plays an important role in coordinating global networks. SGHRM involves selecting strategies, providing leadership during cultural changes, and possessing multiple relationship-building competencies. Global human resource managers must promote multicultural trust within networked organizations and design human resource allocations and strategies between units. Challenges to SGHRM include navigating authority ambiguities, interdependencies between subsidiaries, and acquiring the diverse skills needed for effective management across networks.

Here are a few key themes around death in Game of Thrones:
- Death is inescapable and comes for everyone, regardless of status or power. No one is safe from meeting a violent end at some point in the story.
- How characters face their own death reveals much about their courage, beliefs, and what really matters to them in life. Some accept it bravely while others fight in denial.
- Constant exposure to death and loss in their world makes many characters more pragmatic about mortality. They understand it's an inevitable part of life and can't be controlled or avoided forever.
- The threat of violent death at any moment adds tension and stakes to every plotline and character decision. It's a

The document discusses the keys to happiness and overcoming fear. It argues that while pleasure comes from external things, true happiness is an internal state. The enemy of happiness is fear, as our brains are hardwired to fear due to evolutionary needs, but modern fears are different. The only way to overcome fear is through love - love for God, others, oneself and life. The "7 Tools of Happiness" are actually facets of love that can drive away specific fears and allow happiness to enter one's soul.

Severn Suzuki, a 12-year-old Canadian environmental activist, delivered an impassioned speech at the UN Earth Summit in 1992 on behalf of children concerned about the state of the environment and looming threats of climate change. She urged world leaders to take bold action to address issues like pollution, deforestation, and species extinction, noting that as adults they have a responsibility to protect the future for coming generations. While she and other children do not have all the answers, neither do the leaders, yet they continue damaging the environment; Suzuki pleaded with them to stop breaking the planet if they don't know how to fix it.
This document is an introduction to a book about female sexuality and pleasure. It discusses sexuality as a fundamental life force and natural drive for connection. Using the Hindu story of Shakti and Shiva as an example, it describes how sexuality and the desire for union gave rise to the universe itself. It argues that human sexuality is a combination of biological instincts and cultural learning, and that people can improve their skills and experiences with sex through education and practice. The introduction sets up the book as a guide to help readers fully understand and experience their own sexuality.
The document provides an overview of the history of Pakistan since its independence in 1947. It discusses the initial problems faced by Pakistan including the refugee crisis and conflicts over Kashmir. It then outlines the various political leaders and regimes over the decades including Ayub Khan's rule in the 1960s, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in the 1970s, General Zia-ul-Haq in the 1980s, and the struggle for democracy in the 1990s and 2000s. Key events mentioned include the 1965 and 1971 wars with India, Pakistan's pursuit of nuclear weapons, and the impacts of 9/11.
This document proposes a model of strategic international human resource management (SIHRM) for multinational corporations (MNCs). The model is built on two frameworks from strategy and organization theory and applies them to the MNC as a whole, its affiliates, and individual employee groups. The model suggests that MNCs will adopt different SIHRM orientations (adaptive, exportive, or integrative) depending on their strategy and perceptions of human resource competence. It also presents twelve propositions regarding similarities between parent and affiliate human resource systems under different conditions.

The model suggests that MNCs will adopt different SIHRM orientations (adaptive, exportive, or integrative) depending on their strategy and perceptions of human resource competence. It also presents twelve propositions regarding similarities between parent and affiliate human resource systems under different conditions.
1. The document discusses how internal marketing can help build strong corporate branding, using the UK retail banking industry as a case study.
2. Internal marketing focuses on treating employees as internal customers to improve their skills and motivation to deliver excellent customer service.
3. Strong branding creates a recognizable identity and image of quality that helps companies attract and retain customers.
4. The study found that UK retail banks use internal marketing programs focusing on employee care, quality standards, training, and rewards to develop staff who can effectively represent the brand through their customer interactions.
This document discusses methodological fit in management field research. It provides guidelines for helping new field researchers develop the ability to align theory and methods. Methodological fit is created through an iterative learning process that requires embracing feedback and revision. The key is asking the right research question and selecting the most powerful method to answer it. The document also discusses combining qualitative and quantitative methods and introduces a framework for assessing methodological fit.
The document discusses nine practices that top companies use to develop strong leadership. These include investing significant time and money in leadership programs, identifying promising leaders early in their careers, choosing assignments that allow leaders to develop new skills, providing feedback and support, developing teams rather than just individuals, leading through inspiration, encouraging community involvement, and making leadership development part of the organizational culture. It also profiles the top ten companies for leadership development and some of their best practices.
The document discusses the theory, models, and types of research used in given articles. It provides the origins and evolution of ideas and concepts. It lists founders, proponents, and critics of core concepts. It proposes a research design on similar concepts using identified variables, methodology, and expected outcomes. It discusses similarities and differences between concepts known and unknown previously. It identifies the type of research used in the articles.
The document discusses barriers that women face in achieving leadership positions. It notes that while women make up over 40% of managers in the US, they hold only 6% of top positions in Fortune 500 companies and 2% of CEO roles. Similarly, in the EU only 11% of top executives and 4% of CEO positions are held by women. Prejudices against women's leadership styles and responsibilities like family life contribute to what is described as a "glass ceiling". Suggested interventions include increasing awareness of biases, reducing long hours, using open recruitment, and helping women develop social networks to support their careers.
The document summarizes the seven ages of a leader's career as described by Warren Bennis. Each stage brings new challenges as the leader gains experience and takes on different roles. The stages are: 1) Infant executive who looks for mentors, 2) Schoolboy who learns to lead publicly under scrutiny, 3) Lover who struggles with new problems and relationships, 4) Bearded soldier who gains confidence but loses connection, 5) General who must hear the truth and drive change, 6) Statesman who prepares to pass on wisdom, 7) Sage who finds joy in mentoring the next generation.
This document summarizes a study examining the effects of different methods of forming student groups for projects. The study analyzed student journals and surveys to understand their experiences from within the groups. Prior research primarily focused on performance outcomes, but this study provided insight into subtle social dynamics within groups. Key findings were that student-selected groups generally performed better, but instructor-assigned groups can perform well with the right composition and processes. The study findings provide guidance for instructors and students on effective group work.
1. The document discusses various branding issues in international marketing such as brand orientation, brand repositioning, and their relationships with international marketing strategy and financial performance.
2. A survey of 315 international companies found that brand orientation and repositioning positively impact international marketing strategy, which in turn positively affects financial performance.
3. Developing constructs like brand orientation, repositioning, and performance were validated through statistical analysis, providing insights for international marketers on deploying resources and adapting branding strategies overseas.
The document discusses corporate branding versus product branding strategies for firms entering emerging markets. It proposes that firms are more likely to use corporate branding when stakeholder interests are broad, corporate image is emphasized, markets are complex, marketing costs are high, and industrial products are being sold. Larger, more experienced international firms are also positively associated with corporate and product branding. Future research could develop and test additional hypotheses about branding strategies across different stages of market entry and expansion.
The document discusses the strategic perspective of human resource development (HRD) and its link to business strategy and organizational performance. It covers the roots and models of HRM/HRD, including hard, soft, and strategic variants. HRD can provide competitive advantage by developing firm-specific competencies. The document also discusses linking HRD to business strategy through reactive, proactive, and matching models. Finally, it discusses how effective HRD that is properly configured can directly contribute to and improve organizational performance.
The document discusses consumption characteristics and disposal trends in less developed countries. It notes that the services sector is underdeveloped but offers opportunities for growth. Consumer goods often have poor quality and mediocre marketing. Rural consumption is increasing, with more spent on durable goods and those manufactured in urban sectors. Product disposal is important as people cannot afford to discard items, so resale value and reliability are key considerations. Recycling and remanufacturing can generate new opportunities by extending the life of goods and making them more affordable. Companies must ensure safe waste disposal to avoid environmental issues as developing countries become more sensitive to these impacts.
The document outlines 4 principles of enduring success based on analyzing 40 companies over long periods of time. The principles are: 1) Exploit existing assets over exploring new ones, 2) Diversify business across related industries to reduce economic impacts, 3) Learn from past mistakes to avoid repeating errors, 4) Approach change conservatively and only implement it selectively rather than jumping on every trend.
The document examines multiple factors that influence customers' green purchase intentions, including corporate perception, environmental regulations, price and quality perception, product dimensions, product labels, and past experiences. It reports on a study that investigated the impact of these factors on customers' overall perception of green products and their willingness to purchase them. The study found that corporate perception, environmental regulations, price, quality, product attributes, labels, and past experiences did not significantly contribute to customers' positive perception of green products. This indicates the need for companies to improve their green product offerings and communications to better meet customers' expectations.
The document discusses a study on the HRM strategies used by Chinese multinational companies operating in the UK. It finds that the Chinese MNCs adopted localization strategies, applying UK management practices to compete effectively in the local market. The reasons for localizing included negative impacts of imported policies, absorbing local expertise, and using local staff who understood UK labor resources and regulations. HR practices like recruitment, remuneration, and organizational structures were extensively localized to UK models. Cross-organizational learning also occurred through training programs within and between the Chinese firms and their UK subsidiaries.
The document discusses capital budgeting and methods for evaluating investment projects such as net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). It explains that NPV is the best method for choosing between mutually exclusive projects as it accounts for the time value of money and assumes cash flows are reinvested at the opportunity cost of capital. The document also introduces the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) as an alternative to IRR that makes the same reinvestment rate assumption as NPV.
The document outlines the Seven C's of Effective Communication which are Completeness, Conciseness, Consideration, Concreteness, Clarity, Courtesy, and Correctness. It defines each C and provides examples of how to apply them to ensure communication is effective. The Seven C's provide guidelines for choosing content and presentation style to tailor the message for its purpose and intended audience. Mastering these principles can help one become a stronger oral and written communicator.
The authors argue that theory and methods are interrelated and should inform each other. Theories without empirical implications are speculative, while methods without theoretical foundations can be empty. The authors invite papers that explore how methods shape theory development and vice versa. Their model illustrates how theoretical work leads to empirical study, which then seasons and strengthens theory. The authors believe that correspondence between concepts and data, rather than verification, demonstrates a theory's value. Good theory comes from real-world problems rather than gaps in literature.
- When a multinational organization is in the multinational stage of internationalization, the selection of overseas subsidiary managers depends on the level of effort/outcome symmetry and cultural symmetry between the parent and subsidiary. Selection should come from an inpatriate, expatriate, or third country national pool depending on these symmetry levels.
- When a global organization is in the global stage of internationalization, the selection of overseas subsidiary managers also depends on effort/outcome symmetry and cultural symmetry between the parent and subsidiary. Selection should come from an inpatriate, expatriate, or local national pool depending on the specific symmetry levels.
- The article provides steps for assessing inpatriate orientation, external community support, establishing a monitoring process
