Answer to Question 1

Answer: Managing human resources internationally creates unique challenges. For example, Should we staff the local offices abroad with local or U.S. managers? How should we appraise and pay our local employees? How should we deal with the unions in our offices abroad? How do we identify and get the right talent and skills to where we need them? and How do we spread state-of-the-art knowledge to our operations abroad? Challenges like these don't just come from the vast distances involved. The bigger issue is coping with the cultural, political, legal, and economic differences among countries. The study's overall conclusion was that employers who successfully implement global HR systems do so by applying several best practices. This enables them to install uniform global human resource policies and practices around the world. The basic idea is to develop systems that are acceptable to employees in units around the world, and ones that the employers can implement more effectively. We'll look at each of these three requirements' best practices.
