Answer to Question 1

Global sourcing is the sourcing of employees on a global basis. Global sourcing requires planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating staffing initiatives on a worldwide basis to ensure that staffing goals and objectives are met. Sourcing and staffing a global workforce offers a substantially different set of challenges than does sourcing and staffing a domestic workforce. Implementing recruiting and staffing policies across a range of countries, each with its own cultural, legal, economic, and political characteristics is much more complex.

One of the primary challenges of sourcing and managing a global workforce is the need to strike a balance between two competing objectives: integration and differentiation. Integration refers to the coordination of a single global staffing strategy that gives the organization adequate control over its local operations. Differentiation refers to the need to acknowledge and respect the diversity of local cultures and a firm's employees' expectations in those cultures.
