Human Resource For the organization to successfully achieve internationalization, a special focus must be placed on Human Resources. Human Resources can ensure effective internationalization management of employee staffing, selection, and performance management. “For the achievement of the goals of the international organization, the specific jobs should be filled with specific individuals at the proper time and proper place” (Jadoon, 2015). "The selection decision for international assignees is critical. Errors in selection have a major impact on the success of overseas operations” (Tarique, Briscoe, & Schuler, 2016). Moreover, “performance management is the process of quantifying the efficiency and effectiveness of actions, in order to compare results against expectations, with the intent to motivate, guide and improve decision making” (Szlavicz & Berber, 2014).
Objectives
“In order to achieve the organization’s objectives, the organization will need to conduct thorough preliminary due diligence to assess the values to be gained by the expansion” (Tarique, Briscoe, & Schuler, 2016). Here are the following objectives:
• Evaluation and analysis on what will be needed for a successful expansion.
• Understanding the market of the countries where the expansion is to be done.
• Devise strategies for carrying out the expansion.
Theories and Frameworks
Micron has an ethnocentric staffing approach. “MNEs tend to hire from the
Competing in global markets entail many factors and centralization of its human resource practices is certainly vital to improve global competitiveness and empower employees for global assignments. To achieve success in global marketplace, the challenge of all businesses regardless of their size is to understand global corporate cultural differences and invest in human resources which includes selecting and retaining talented employee, training and development whilst encouraging employees to be innovative and creative. Employees selected to work in foreign locations should be prepared beforehand with adequate cross-cultural training. For an organization to be successful in the international marketplace, it must be concerned with this fit from both an internal and
This case traces the strategic decisions of Intel Corporation which defined its evolution from being a start-up developer of semiconductor memory chips in 1968 to being the industry leader of microprocessors in 1997 when it ranked amongst the top five American companies and had stock market valuation of USD 113 billion.
Selection and performance management programs that are designed for organizations that have expanded their U.S. workplace to other countries must be designed to take in many other considerations that normally wouldn’t make a difference if all the employees were from the same origin. Expatriate employees and their families should be assisted to help with adjusting to their new culture. Performance management and selection programs should be designed to incorporate the differences in ethical and cultural backgrounds that match the employees and or applicants who are overseas. This paper further examines what is necessary for selection and performance management programs for a U.S. based organization that is expanding overseas to China.

While there are many various global issues that affect the International Human Resource Management to run efficiently, there are two key concepts that play a major role in understanding how to approach them with cohesive and a well coherent strategy; they are the International Human Recourse Management Strategy and Understanding the Cultural Environment. In the International Resource Management strategy, many companies will do their research in finding companies that offer the

In the context of International HR (IHR), managers take on the same responsibilities as their local based colleagues but the area of activity and difficulty of these duties is based on the extent of internationalisation of the organisation. As they move towards a more global economy, organisations are supposed to revise their HR strategies. From one country to another, for example, external factors (e.g. politics) or internal factors (e.g. practice) would be vastly different. As a result of this, normal decisions can be really complex in an organisation operating around the world in multiple countries, particularly since for international organisations,

To succeed in the world today corporations must develop global strategies. An evolving evolution in the understanding of international organizational behavior and management of global human resource systems has developed and evolved rapidly in the twenty-first century. Focusing on global strategies, theories, and management approaches allow us to understand the influence of national and ethnic cultures on organizational functioning. Successful global firms competing under transitional dynamics need to understand their potential clients’ needs, no matter where in the world the clients

Introduction:In 2000 the Microelectronics division of IBM found itself struggling as an unexpected rapid rise of demand overwhelmed the company's capacity. Chris King and her team had put a lot of effort and time into making the Network Technology Unit into what it had become. King and her team had started out by setting very bold targets (a BHAG if you will) of achieving growth levels that were unimaginable at the time and most importantly of becoming a leader in the business of microchip technology. In order to accomplish this, the team started the planning process by conducting a thorough analysis of the external environment, scanning for potential clients and competitors, as well as looking internally for highly motivated and skilled
In working with a diversified, global workforce, human resource managers have a highly integrated and important function in the globalized company. For this, they need certain competences, including flexibility, decisiveness, leadership, team work, communication, strategic planning, network building, and so on (Czenter, 2002, p. 74). As such, human resource professionals and managers will need to be familiar with the most up to date communication techniques as well as engage in continuous learning to ensure that they update all relevant information in a timely way. Of course the most important task of human
