The Role of Corporate HR Funcitons in MNCs: The Interplay Between Corporate, Regional/National and Plant Level Abstract The HR literature has been abundant in providing typologies of the roles of HR professionals in their organisation. These typologies are largely related to the changing nature of HRM over time, and the context in which empirical work was carried out. In this paper we focus on the context of the increasing internationalisation of firms and how this has an effect upon modern-day typologies of HR roles. We explore these roles by focusing on the way in which HRM practices come about. Especially in a MNC setting of increasing internationalisation of firms the issues of coordination, shared learning and...

...pre-historic times through to the postmodern world. Major characteristics in the evolution and development of HRM will also be examined and documented. KEYWORDS: Human Resource Management (HRM), evolution, history INTRODUCTION Defining Human Resource Management (HRM) According to Armstrong (2006) Human Resource Management (HRM) is defined as a strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets – the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of its objectives. From this definition, we can deduce that HRM or simply HR is a function in organizations designed to maximize employee performance in service of their employer’s strategic objectives (Johanson, 2009). HR is primarily concerned with how people are managed within organizations, focusing on policies and systems (Collings & Wood, 2009). HR...

... Mountain Bank should follow this strategy because, “an organization following the differentiation strategy focuses on offering value by providing something better than competitors can-something for which customers are willing to pay a higher price”, (Greg L. Stewart and Kenneth G. Brown, 2009, p.49.) As a small bank competing with larger banks that can afford to offer more products and services for less, Mountain Bank must focus on offering exceptional and personalized customer service. Currently, the bank has small shares of the market in each area of the services it offers with the exception of the retail accounts but those accounts are not profitable. The bank should create and present a plan of profitability to each of those retail account clients as a business partner. This is a level of personalize service that the bank can offer due to its small size and an added valuable resource for its clients. Another reason that Mountain Bank should follow this strategy is because of its small size it can dedicate the necessary resources to its clients to improve their profitability therefore proven its worth for charging higher fees. This hands-on approach establishes an Eastern culture practice of building loyal relationships even with those you conduct business with. It should not be the focus to gain a larger market share but to max out the profitability and growth potential of its current clients. With proven strategies, the bank could establish itself as desirable...

...traders to profits. Whether these changes are short-term or long-term, they dictate financial gains or losses (Investopedia.com, 2011). Four major indicators affect changes in markets. These include global or international transactions, the governments in those 70 countries, speculation on market changes, and supply and demand. In an organization the size of Procter and Gamble, some inevitable expenses can drastically reduce annual forecasts on profits. P&G relies heavily on other organizations (vendors and suppliers), to manufacture a number of their infamous products. If costs increase in procurement of certain materials, jeopardizes the company’s economic growth. Commodities such as using a specific form of energy to operate a facility can impact Procter and Gamble’s revenue. P&G uses materials like resin and would pulp to manufacture items like laundry boxes and pampers. A strong factor in economic trends is the highly unfavorable changes in exchange rates in foreign markets. Recession in countries where P&G conduct business has a profound impact on financial forecasts. Procter and Gamble has researched and implemented strategies to adapt to these economic uncertainties. Strategic Adaptation A method used by Procter and Gamble to remain competitive in foreign markets is to limit the specific number of countries for expanding their company. Instead, the company plans to invest more money in to...

...ASSESSING HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES ALIGNMENT: A CASE STUDY HERBERT G. HENEMAN III AND A N T H O N Y T. M I L A N O W S K I Research has established the link between HR practices and organizational performance, suggesting that the HR system has great strategic potential to drive organizational effectiveness. To capitalize on this potential, the organization must design and deliver HR practices that focus on necessary employee performance competencies, creating an HR system with vertical and horizontal alignment around those competencies. Doing this requires that the organization first assess how its HR practices are currently aligned and then develop ideas for improving HR practice that will be alignment enhancing. We call this diagnostic process Human Resource Alignment (HRA) assessment. We describe an HRA assessment process we developed and applied in a large public school district for the key job of teacher. The assessment was based on the district’s formal teacher performance competency model used, and was conducted by a group of human resources and instructional job experts from the district. These experts rated the degree of vertical and horizontal alignment and then developed suggestions for HR practice changes that would improve alignment. After describing the process and results, we present a series of lessons learned and directions for future research. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
