International HRM Case Study - Brunt Hotels
The decision by Brunt Hotel management, to expand to the French market means that a strategic, marketing, human resource, and rebranding plan must be in place before the anticipated four weeks’ timeline. According to the case study by (Robson, 2008), the company’s decision to utilize the ethnocentric approach for employment means that the expressions of interest must be from existing Parent Company Managers. However, it appears that none of these managers are fluent French speakers (Robson, 2008). Hence, the priority must be a recruitment drive based on knowledge, skills, and ability to lean the French cultural and communication skill and language.
Based on the evidence provided in (Robson, 2008) “case study one” I would state the following as strategic priorities for Brunt Hotel. Firstly, conduct an audit of existing staff who are willing to relocate to France. Also, a checklist of remaining French hotel from the acquired hotel. This examination will shed light on knowledge and skill set. Upon competition of that review, the HR department must develop a

How would Paris, employees, and customers receive the new FS administration? Would the values and standards of the company be compatible with those held by French culture? The question was to decide what to keep and what could be changed in their strategy when considering the elements of the French national culture and legal aspects. The advantages that FSH had on its side were experience; they had already been successful in other 23 countries reaching this balance using the diversity-singularity strategy, flexibility, they have shown setting an ever reducing number of standards while increasing focus on their goals, and a strong set of values. The success of the firm could mean entering a highly profitable market, improving the image as a high-level luxury hotel and the reinforcement of confidence for the top management team about how operations were being run. If it were a failure, the company would lose an investment of $125 million, two years of work, and possibly damage their image in a very competitive environment. Two main factors that could conspire against its success were national culture and legal issues. Even though FSH already had some experience through its operations in Canada and the Pierre Hotel in New York City (are we sure about the "French" culture at the hotel in NY? Pg 8 ) in dealing with these elements, the FS George V was a new challenge all together. In dealing with a national culture as
The Club Med (A) case examines the companies core values, innovative goals in providing a complete all-inclusive resort getaway experience for their customers, and competitive advantages and disadvantages the resort company had against others. They pride themselves on being innovators and on customer satisfaction, though they did begin to fall behind in some areas due to new competitors entering their category. Some of the Club Med issues were that they didn’t seem to actively take new threats very seriously, they were heavily catered towards the French/European culture, and how they didn’t have much flexibility in terms of adjusting their services to fit consumer needs better.

Globalisation, as an integrated and independent world economy, has contributed to the rapid expansion of international trade and world’s economic growth (Paik & Vance, 2006; Mutsuddi, 2012). The increase presence of global firms is shifting domestic HR towards global HR in addition to carry out a wider span of HR responsibilities (Losey, Meisinger & Ulrich, 2005; Rao, 2010; Jie, 2011; Mutsuddi, 2012).
