Answer to Question 1

Answer: Society, politics, and culture exert pressure on HRM. To remain acceptable to the general public, a firm must accomplish its purpose while complying with societal norms. Closely related to society, but not the same, are political parties. The two major political parties in the United States often have differing opinions on human resource topics. On a global perspective, countries change governments from time to time, which may affect how human resource management is practiced. Recognizing the cultural differences present in a workplace can also help managers achieve maximum effectiveness. Cultural differences between countries influence global business. This borderless world adds dramatically to the difficulty of managing human capital. Cultural differences reveal themselves in everything from the workplace environments to very divergent concepts of time, space, and social interaction.
