key.
Lecture 1 part 3 recording
New HRM challenges (1): Globalization
• Offshoring (the relocation of a business process from home country to another,
shifting your manufacturing to lower (labor) cost countries)
• Outsourcing (the business practice of hiring a party outside a company to perform
services or create goods that were traditionally performed in-house by the
company's own employees and staff)
• Reshoring (the process of returning the production and manufacturing of goods back
to the company's original country)
Global organization > an organization that employs a workforce in different countries
throughout the world, with a view to maximizing performance by sourcing or providing
goods/and or services in a globally based market, and in which decisions are driven by
markets rather than geography.
Global participation and global employees
• Parent / home country: the country in which the company’s corporate headquarters
is located.
- Parent-country nationals
• Host country: the country in which the parent country organization seeks to locate
(or has already located) a facility.
- Host-country nationals
• Third country: a country other than the host country or parent country. A company
may, but is less likely, to have a facility there (different culture background)
- Third-country nationals
,Domestic: firms have a one-country market and serve primarily one set of customers,
management does not have to be culturally sensitive.
International: the company enters only a few other countries’ markets, initially by exporting
goods or services from the home-country location and at some point expanding production
to those secondary countries, managers must have some cultural sensitivity, but other
managers do not).
Multinational: firms need to become more efficient and lower product/service costs. The
multinational company usually has partial or full ownership of the operations in another
country.
Transnational: are a type of MNC that eliminates artificial geographical barriers without
having a real single national headquarters. Managers need to be culturally sensitive, they
have the ability to work with people of other cultures as equals. (multiple headquarters, no
real headquarters) Chapter 16.
