Course Project
The course project has major assignments that will be due
in Weeks 3 and 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to
adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and
other work for those assignments earlier than the week in which
they are due.
With significant operations around the world, Savannah
Engineering, Inspection and Insurance Company (SEIIC) is
truly a global company. Its most significant international
operations are in the European Union (EU) countries and Asia.
Growth in China has been particularly rapid over the last five
years. Because of the highly technical nature of its business,
SEIIC has had a difficult time getting the people with the right
skills in the right places and then keeping their skills up to date.
The company has worked hard at identifying and hiring local
talent, but the efforts have not been entirely successful. To the
extent that it can, it has tried to accommodate local needs in its
HRM system. However, it has found it difficult to carry out
some of its initiatives because of the different ways of working
in different areas. It has been difficult for people who transfer
from one area to another to deal with the different HRM
policies and procedures.
As a part of the overall review of HRM operations, the company
is interested in identifying key factors that differentiate its
global and domestic operations and in understanding how it can
develop a more global approach to HRM.

2. Summarize key details about the case to date. What are the most
important issues affecting SEIIC’s HRM? Your summary should
be no more than one to two paragraphs. (Imagine that you are
riding down the elevator with SEIIC’s CEO and she asks you to
provide a high-level summary of what you’ve discovered so far.
You have thirty seconds from the time she gets on the elevator
until the time she gets off. What would you say?)
With a focus primarily on the EU and Asian areas of operations,
assess key factors that SEIIC should pay attention to in revising
its approach to international HRM. Consider, for example, the
cultural, economic system, and legal and labor relations
similarities and differences in these areas of operation when
compared to domestic (United States) operations.
Analyze how these differences between EU, Asian, and
domestic areas of operation may affect specific HRM activities
including recruiting and staffing, training and development,
compensation and benefits, performance management, and labor
relations.
Finally, justify how SEIIC should approach implementing HRM
around the globe. Should it try to provide essentially a
standardized, global HRM system or a highly specialized HRM
system that is tailored to each location or region where it
operates? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each
approach and which would you recommend?
