Debate the major challenges (e.g., legal requirements, cheaper manpower, global talent, human resource practices, etc.) that MNCs face when developing performance management processes within countries outside of the United States.From the e-Activity, determine whether the national culture of the chosen country trumps the organizational culture of the chosen MNC, or vice versa. Next, assess the extent to which the selected organization has overcome any of its cultural challenges. Justify your response.

Week 2 – Assignment

Find Strategic Opportunities

Describe Abell’s three-dimensional business-definition model and explain where it can be utilized. Then, consider Reader’s Digest Association, publisher of Reader’s Digest, the largest circulation magazine in the world in 1992. As famous and as popular as its magazine and brand were at the time, the real value to the company was the huge database of subscribers that it had (around 50 million readers). It has used that database to sell various products such as condensed books and other publications, videos, CDs, and so on. Using Abell’s model, explain what other products it could send down this distribution channel which would be amenable to mail order and that would appeal to its subscriber base.

In addition to the text, you must use at least one scholarly source. Your paper must be two to three pages in length (excluding a cover page and reference page) and formatted according to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Working individually, students should complete the “critical thinking” questions. This assignment is designed to incorporate the three unifying concepts of this course. These are

1) a “Human Capital” point of views. vs. a traditional Personnel Management point of view;

2) decision-making that is driven by Metrics and Analytics vs. emotional appeals; and

3) Partnerships between Line Leaders and HR Specialists vs. separate disjointed functional responsibilities held by each.

Each paper should be a minimum of 3–4 pages and comprehensively incorporate ALL of the questions in the assignment, as well as the associated readings. APA formatted and verified in Turnitin.

Critical Thinking

1. Does money motivate employees? Why or why not?

2. Why should compensation systems be equitable? How can an organization design an equitable compensation system?

3. Compare and contrast the four job evaluation methods. Give an example of an organization in which each of the four methods might provide an optimal strategic fit.

4. Discuss the pros and cons of employee pay being fixed versus variable and dependent on performance. How might such decisions impact recruiting, motivation, and retention?

5. Analyze your current job responsibilities. Determine whether the method by which you are compensated is appropriate.

6. Is performance-based pay effective? Why or why not? How can performance-based pay systems be better designed to ensure optimal results?

Assignment 1: Strategy, Planning, and Selection

Assume for this assignment that you are being highly considered for a director-level HR management position for a best-in-class national retailer. You are in the final phase of the interview process and must respond to the interview panel regarding specific questions and scenarios that will help them determine if you are a good fit for the new role. The company’s culture is centered on the effective development of strategy, plans, and selection criteria aimed at building and sustaining a competitive and profitable organization. It will be extremely important that you respond with a strategic mindset in order to convince the organization you are able to help them ensure the execution of the business strategy.

Write a six to seven (6-7) page paper in which you:

•Analyze different types of strategies (cost leadership, differentiation, and focus/niche) and select which one you would deem more appropriate for an “efficiency-minded” retail organization and explain your rationale. How would the selected strategy ultimately affect how HR does its job?

•Examine the four (4) approaches to job design/redesign and provide an example (not a definition) of each. Then, make a case to the interviewing panel on the importance of effective job design applications in supporting the overall strategic goals of the organization.

•Consider challenges and constraints associated with recruiting workers and identify and discuss at least two (2) issues. What advice would you give to ease your selected issues? Be specific.

•List and describe 2–3 candidate selection process ideas that might add value and overall effectiveness to the process. HINT: http://www.selectinternational.com/blog/bid/147051/5-Tips-for-Designing-an-Effective-Employee-Selection-System. Also, what problems should HR and management teams avoid during the selection process?

•Format your assignment according to these formatting requirements:

a.Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

b.Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment (with running head), the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

c.Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length. Use the Strayer University Library at https://research.strayer.edu to locate additional sources to support your work.

The specific course outcomes associated with this assignment are:

•Assess the strategic role of human resource management and the components that provide a competitive advantage to the organization.

•Examine the human resource management functions of recruiting and selecting, and their importance to business strategy.
