HR training and practices across
different cultures

Will you discuss each of these at
length? (200 words each)

1 What
kind of policies do you think would work best to prevent workplace violence?

2 How
might an international firm trying to adapt HRM practices to the local culture
produce worse results than it would produce by “exporting” HRM
practices from the home office?

3 What,
in your opinion, is the most significant impact of a union on the management of
human resources? Explain

4 Assume
that a union has organized the faculty at the university or the college where
you are a student What impact would you expect the union to have on the
faculty? Which faculty would you expect to support the union? Which would not
support the union? How would a faculty union affect the students’ educational
experience? Explain

5 It
is often said that “good pay and good management” are the keys to
successful union avoidance Spell out the kind of policies and practices
companies should develop if they want to keep their workers from unionizing Do
you think the employee relations practices you have mentioned are less costly
or more costly than working with unionized labor?

6 How
can management’s collective bargaining tactics be influenced by the company’s
labor relations strategy? Provide examples

7 One
of your colleagues argues that domestic violence is not a concern of the
business Do you agree or disagree? Explain

8 According
to a recent news story in Business Week, “For years, American
multinationals have been pilloried for shipping US jobs overseas Now,
they’re exporting something else: layoffs Among the giants going abroad with
their axes: Motorola, Goodyear, Procter & Gamble, Compaq Computer, JDS
Uniphase, and Delphia Automotive Each is cutting at least 2,500 overseas jobs
Sara Lee is cutting 1,300 jobs – not one in the US All are at its Hanes
clothing plants in Central and South America Those were on top of 7,000
European layoffs at Hanes plants” Many people abroad are shocked at how
easily US firms can throw long-term employees out of work, particularly when
it is very difficult to find another job in a labor market where layoffs are
uncommon Do you think that US companies should be more compassionate with
employees when local conditions in a foreign country make it very difficult for
laid-off workers to find alternative employment opportunities?

9 How
could genetic testing be used to discriminate?

10 Some
people believe that cross-cultural training often reinforces stereotypes by
discussing aspects of a culture that may be applicable to some members of that
culture but not to all Do you agree? How can cross-cultural training be
provided to avoid this problem? Explain
