A multinational corporation is planning to implement a common set of performance management practices throughout its global subsidiaries. What advice would you offer to the HRM director of the firm in relation to this plan and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Good answers will discuss duality and challenges between global integration and local adaptation; issues related to transfer of practices, implementation and internalisation; cultural and institutional differences between different nations with regard to performance and behaviour. Better answers will also note different international orientations (Perlmutter); the impact of e-HRM system; use examples and discuss the policy/implementation gap and the role of line managers. Include critical analysis, evaluation and a synthesis.
