Use the appropriate strategic approach for an international business scenario.
Apply concepts of multiculturalism and diversity to become an agent of change.
In the Module 5 Assessment, you will have the opportunity to apply research to recommend a course of action for a given business scenario related to global staffing considerations. When an organization opens facilities in foreign locations, many decisions must be carefully considered and confirmed to ensure that its overall strategy is reflected in staffing policy. Part of this policy's development will involve familiarization with the foreign country's legal requirements regarding considerations such as remuneration and work environment. Another area that requires attention is creating an environment where the corporate culture established at headquarters in the host country can be successfully introduced and supported in the subsidiary location.
Scenario: As the owner of a U.S. based coffee distributor, you have recently acquired a competing coffee processing facility based in Norway. There is a very small existing staff, but you need to expand operation rapidly, which will require hiring more employees. After completing some research about how cultural and legal differences might impact HRM in this nation, you must recommend to your management team as to what approach the company should take to staff this growing facility.
1. Identify two areas where differences between the U.S. and Norway in terms of legal requirements might impact your HRM approach.
2. Specify two areas where differences between the U.S. and Norway in terms of cultural norms might impact your HRM approach.
3. Explain the three forms of global staffing policy (i.e., ethnocentric, polycentric, geocentric).
4. Note one advantage and one disadvantage to each form of global staffing policy.
5. Describe how differences in the legal requirements and cultural norms in Norway would factor into your recommendation for a staffing policy.
6. Summarize your final staffing approach recommendation to your management team. Include support to detail why this approach is most appropriate in Norway.
