BUS 436 Module 1 Assignment 3 External and Internal Factors

International teams can be difficult to coordinate. In order to successfully utilize international teams of employees, managers must consider variables that include everything from technical challenges, such as communication methods and time differences to complex issues such as communication style, language barriers, and cultural differences.

Using your textbook and the Argosy University online library resources, examine the key mechanisms of global integration and their implications for an organization and its HRM practices. Do the following:

• List the company’s precise goals and objectives in relation to this project. (You may make assumptions based on the general goals stated for the team.)
• Identify internal (organizational) and external factors impacting each goal or objective.

Organize your analysis in a matrix as follows:

Present the matrix in a 3-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources and support your ideas using current research and references to best practices. Use the following file naming convention

BUS 436 Module 2 Assignment 2 Benefits of a Diverse Workforce

Communication is of utmost importance in diverse teams. How a manager approaches a situation can determine the future direction of teamwork and ultimately the level of success achieved. When communicating with diverse teams, whether verbally, via e-mail, or in writing, managers need to consider the potential reactions as well as the intention of the message.

Review the scenario you read in M2: Assignment 1 and the discussion of possible HR actions. Based on the review, develop a 3 memo to the project teams addressing the following:

• Remind both managers and employees of the benefits of a culturally diverse workgroup.
• Make recommendations on how to avoid scheduling issues due to the religious observance.
• Explain how you arrived at your decision using relevant academic references.
• Justify your suggestions by using empirical evidence and reference to any applicable laws.

BUS 436 Module 3 Assignment 2 LASA 1 Overseas Assignments, Acquisitions, and Integration

BANKS Industries is a manufacturing company located in Centervale. A U.S.-based organization, BANKS’s major product line is electronics components. BANKS has just over 200 employees at their main plant in Centervale, but has recently acquired a new subsidiary in China. This acquisition adds close to 100 employees and their expertise in a new line of personal computing devices. BANKS expects these devices to give them a competitive advantage in their market.

BANKS started out as a family-owned organization that has a relatively flat organizational structure. After 15 years of being in business, BANKS continues to be family-owned and has acquired several small companies in the U.S. The acquisition of the Chinese company, which has now been renamed BANKS Components, is the first acquisition outside U.S. borders.

At this point, the acquisition is official and the company is in the process of taking over the operations of the plant in China. All employees have been retained, although turnover and some expansion are anticipated in the near future. Employees in both locations are feeling uneasy regarding potential changes, and some reorganization is going to be necessary.

During the acquisition, some key employees of the Chinese company left the organization out of fear that their positions would be eliminated. This has left some upper management and director-level positions vacant, adding to the challenges that BANKS is currently facing.

As the HR manager, you report directly to the owner-president of BANKS Industries. You have a relatively small staff working under you, leaving you to make the majority of the HR recommendations and decisions on your own.

You have been charged with identifying some of the challenges and issues in this new endeavor, making recommendations for action, working with employees, and several other tasks related to the acquisition.

Overseas Assignments, Acquisition & Integration

Consider the challenges of posting U.S. employees to overseas locations. You will develop a 25 – 30 slide presentation to make recommendations on the HR-related challenges. The PowerPoint presentation should include a title slide as well as a slide with references in APA format.

A minimum of five scholarly references should be used, which may include direct reference to relevant laws and research. Be brief and professional on your slides, but use the notes feature to go into more detail regarding the topics.

Consider your audience, so be sure that your text and background has enough contrast, that you limit animations and other distractions, and use graphs and tables where appropriate. Address the following in your presentation:

• Identify and explain anticipated challenges and at least three common reasons why overseas assignments might fail.
• Propose solutions for each of the reasons you identified.
• Recommend special training for the employees going to China to increase their chance of success, including your justification for your recommendations citing scholarly references.
• Determine how to select and train the acquired employees. Will you need to terminate some employees and hire replacements?
• Identify challenges of integrating employees and issues which might create conflict.
• Prepare the selection, retention, and separation plans.
• Develop the new organization infrastructure; that is, the organizational chart
• Address the different employment laws in each country.

BUS 436 Module 4 Assignment 2 Privacy Laws and HR

International HR is concerned not only with cultural differences between groups but also on the additional challenge of simultaneously working within different legal systems. This often means that all employees are not treated equally. HR is responsible for establishing and maintaining the delicate balance required to adhere to local laws while treating all employees fairly.

Review the international privacy laws for three different countries. You may begin your research at the following Web site:

• Information Shield. (n.d.). International privacy laws. Retrieved from http://www.informationshield.com/intprivacylaws.html

Based on this resource and your research, respond to the following:

• What impact do international privacy laws have on human resource management, specifically in regards to the interviewing and hiring process?
• What are the important features of the laws in the three countries you chose? Are there any features that surprised you?
• What are the restrictive aspects of the laws you reviewed? How would these impact hiring and ongoing employment in that country?
• As technology develops, what changes in the law do you foresee becoming necessary?

Write a 4–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

BUS 436 Module 5 Assignment 1 LASA 2 Leadership Development and Recruitment Plan

Your supervisor has asked you to make some recommendations regarding the leadership skills necessary to successfully work through the merger at Banks. You have been asked to develop a standardized method of personnel selection for their hiring needs.

This plan will be used in all of the company’s operations, both domestic and foreign, as there are more open positions that will need to be filled quickly. It must support the company’s goal of obtaining competitive advantage through talent management and acquisition.

Additionally, one of your first hiring needs involves recruiting electronics engineers with a BS degree and one year of experience in a manufacturing environment.

The candidates should be suitable for the company’s current operations in Centervale and the subsidiary in China, as they will spend time at both locations.
