A Model of Strategic Nonprofit Human Resource Management

Question: Analyse and evaluate features of national business environments and identify implications for the management of people. Apply and evaluate a range of theories, concepts and approaches relevant to the management of people in an international context. Answer: Four of us have studied together to prepare an investigation into the contemporary issues in the global Human Resource Management. In the cross-cultural group, we are Indian, American, European and Japanese. We have meet outside the university during playing pool and this has helped us to know each other easily. During this meeting, we have decided that we would prepare an assignment on the contemporary issues in the global human resource management. As all of us are engaged in different tasks in our personal life, we have decided to meet every week in a particular poolside to carry on the task. This meeting has helped us to know one another in a more detailed way and this has helped us to carry on our task easily. All of us have divided the task in several parts and we prepare our task accordingly. After meeting every week, we exchange our thoughts and this has helped to make the entire task easy. After going through several presentation style, we have decided to use Prezi for our presentation, as we have found that this style help to make the entire presentation lively. Based in the topic, we have divided our task and these are as follows. Hasan is responsible to make a detailed study on the role of the state as well as the economic development. Bimbo has looked after the legislation and the social factors that play major roles. John has been responsible to gather information on the international labor market and the fourth member of our team is responsible to gain enough information on the Porters factors condition and the technology. Thus, we have divided our task in several parts and this has helped us to make the entire study comparatively easier. In this regard, we have used a social media, i.e. Facebook as the medium to communicate with each other and get to know about the work process. We have exchanged several useful links to each other, as this has helped us to know the flow of our task. Therefore, it can be said that Facebook has helped us largely, as we cannot meet every day to prepare our task. This popular social media site has helped us to exchange several things over internet. After the preparation of the entire task, we have decided to meet one day and edit the entire Prezi as per the requirement. We all have prepared the Prezi differently, now we all have meet to edit the Prezi and this is one of the important parts of the entire preparation. It can be easily said that we have practiced several times together before preparing the Prezi. As already mentioned, it is our first ever topic on the subject and thus we have prepared the entire task keeping in mind the several conditions. We have found that Bimbo possess some leadership quality among four of us and thus, we have given him the responsibility to arrange the meeting date, venue, time and some other important conditions for the preparation of our task. Though it can be said as the responsibility has been divided into all of us equally, we all have the equal position in the entire process and no one has been given special preference. Therefore, it can be easily said that the entire research is unbiased and this has helped to get a good result of the research work. It has been already mentioned that four of us are from four different cultural groups and this might hampered the entire process. However, we all have significantly managed this conflict position in our group and the cross-culture has not affected us. We have successfully communicated with each other an d in spite of the fact that we meet once a week, it has created no problem to prepare our task. During the conduction of the overall study, we all have understood some basic concepts and this is required to discuss here. We have learnt that the approach and the thoughtful required in the employment of the employees for the international assignments largely differ from the customary recruiting efforts needed in the home country surroundings. Therefore, HR of these types of companies is required to consider cultural differences, regulations as well as the language consideration (Akingbola 2012). On the contrary to this situation, we have found that with the help of internet technology, recruiting process for the international assignments has turned out to be easier, as the HR enjoys the access to the international labor market especially in the field of the candidates for professional management assignments (Banfield and Kay 2012). I have seen that the assortment procedure for the international assignments are required to provide a true picture of life along with work and background towards which the selected workers may be assigned. Insofar, we have gathered a certain level of strong understanding on several dimensions as well as complexities that involve the recruitment and selection process of the staffs for the international assignments. The issue has been ranged from international staffing policies, roles of the global managers, reasons for the international assignment to the actual selection process, best practices in international assignments (Cascio and Boudreau 2010). It has been observed that recruitment process starts with the detailed job specification, analysis of the job, interviews as well as the selection (Castrogiovanni and Kidwell 2010). Moreover, major challenges that have been identified as well as highlighted in this particular text are demographic believes, cultural differences, political factors as well as the economic status of the country where these type of firms are located (Ciay sheng and Shua ming 2012). Therefore, it is clear enough to say that the HR managers of seve ral multinational companies face several challenges in case of selection and recruitment process. The entire task has helped me understand the present trends as well as challenges in the global market of the Human Resource Management. The combined study of four of us has helped us to enrich the study and we have prepared the Prezi likewise to get the best result. References Akingbola, K., 2012.
