CHAPTER SUMMARY
This closing chapter focuses on the challenging topic of global human resource management
(HRM). The term expatriate manager is introduced, which refers to a citizen of one country who
is working abroad in one of his or her firm's subsidiaries. The task of staffing foreign subsidiaries
is discussed. In this area, firms typically pursue either an ethnocentric, polycentric, or geocentric
approach. This section is followed with an explanation of the challenges involved in selecting
expatriate managers. Expatriates often fail in their overseas assignments for a variety of reasons,
ranging from the inability of their spouses to adjust to living overseas to a manager's personal or
emotional maturity. Techniques that can be used to reduce expatriate failure are presented and
discussed. The chapter also discusses a number of other HRM topics in the context of global
management. The topics of training and management development are discussed, along with
performance appraisal and compensation.

, IBM recognizes that managing global mobility is crucial for the success of its business. With a
workforce that spans multiple countries and cultures, managing employee mobility is essential to
ensure that the right talent is in the right place at the right time. IBM’s global mobility program
is designed to support the company’s global business operations, while also providing a positive
experience for its employees who move internationally.
To manage its global mobility program, IBM has established a dedicated team of professionals
who are responsible for supporting the company’s mobile employees. This team works closely
with IBM’s business leaders and HR professionals to identify the talent needs of the company
and to develop strategies for meeting those needs through mobility. The selection process
includes a review of family situation.
IBM’s global mobility program includes a range of services and support for its mobile
employees. These include pre-assignment planning and support, including visa and immigration
services, language training, and cultural awareness training. Once employees are on assignment,
IBM provides ongoing support, including tax and financial services, housing assistance, and
support for families.
IBM also recognizes the importance of managing the costs associated with global mobility. To
manage costs, the company has established clear policies and guidelines for managing employee
mobility, including the use of standardized relocation packages and the use of technology to
automate and streamline mobility processes. However, recently, IBM has revolutionized its
global mobility operations by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) through its
innovative solution Your Global Mobility Advisor (YGMA). YGMA is a self-service app
designed to empower employees with the tools they need to manage the budget and logistics of
their global assignments and relocations. For example, YGMA’s AI engine, powered by IBM
Watson, can generate a recommended assignment plan, budget estimates, and a set of allowances
and provisions tailored to the employee’s specific needs. This personalization enables employees
to make choices that matter most to them, whether it’s opting out of a pet shipment, adjusting the
size of their shipping container, or selecting a more cost-effective housing option.
