When an organization opens facilities in foreign locations, many decisions must
When an organization opens facilities in foreign locations, many decisions must be carefully considered and confirmed to ensure the firm’s overall strategy is reflected in staffing policy. Part of the policy development will involve familiarization with the foreign country’s legal requirements regarding remuneration and work environment. Another area that requires attention is creating an environment where the corporate culture established at headquarters can be successfully introduced and supported in the subsidiary location. In this assignment, you will apply research to recommend a course of action for a given business scenario.
Scenario: As the owner of a U.S.-based coffee distributor, you have recently acquired a competing coffee processing facility based in another country (use the country you chose for your Units 3, 5, and 7 Journals). There is a very small existing staff, but you need to expand operations rapidly, which will require hiring more employees. After researching how cultural and legal differences might impact HRM in this nation, you must propose to your management team what approach the company should take to staff this growing facility.
Checklist:
Identify two areas where differences between the U.S. and your selected country regarding legal requirements might impact your HRM approach.
Specify two areas where differences between the U.S. and your selected country regarding cultural norms might impact your HRM approach.
Explain the three forms of global staffing policy (i.e., ethnocentric, polycentric, geocentric).
Note at least one advantage and one disadvantage to each form of global staffing policy.
Describe how two differences in the legal requirements and two differences in the cultural norms (including Hofstede cultural dimensions) in the selected country would factor into your recommendation for a staffing policy. (See the reading area for Hofstede resources.)
Summarize your final staffing approach proposal to your management team. Include support to detail why this approach is most appropriate in your selected country.
Utilize at least three external sources as part of your research. Sources might include your textbook, a website recommended in a past journal, discussion, or assignment, or any other academically credible resource found in the university library. Only sources cited within the body of the paper should be included in the reference list.
