四、课程内容介绍
A total of nine sessions are taught in this postgraduate training course. Each session is for two hours. Each session focuses on a specific thematic topic related to human resource management (HRM) in the multinational context. Empirical examples are used to illustrate key theories and practices in international HRM and challenges facing multinational corporations (MNCs) in managing their workforce. Teaching style is informal and interactive, students have opportunities to provide comments and apply their knowledge through group exercises. Examples are provided to illustrate opportunities and challenges for Chinese multinational firms abroad.
Session 1 The dynamic global context of HRM
Session descriptions
This session compares and contrasts the employment and HR environment of developed and developing countries. It analyses the challenges multinational corporations may face in their global HRM.
Session 2 Ethics, international labour standards, corporate social responsibility and sustainability
Session descriptions
This session discusses the notions of business ethics, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and challenges for firms to embrace these concepts in the global context. It contemplates how firms can adopt responsible HRM practices to gain sustainability.
Session 3 Global staffing and managing expatriation and repatriation
Session descriptions
Staffing is one of the most challenging HRM aspects in the operation of multinational firms. In this session, we consider issues related to expatriate management, including selection, training, adjustment and repatriation from an institutional, cultural, organisational and individual perspective.
Session 4 Managing organisational culture in the global context
Session descriptions
It is believed that organisational culture has an important implication for HRM and ultimately the performance of an organisation. This session discusses the multiple meanings and diverse perspectives of culture. It addresses the important issue if organisational culture can be managed or changed. It also investigates organisation’s motives in adopting organisational culture change initiatives and their likely impact on the workforce in an international context.
Session 5 Cross-border mergers and acquisitions and HRM
Session descriptions
This session looks at the use of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) as a business strategy for growth and organisational transformation. It contemplates patterns of and challenges to cross-border M&As. It examines what issues firms may encounter in managing their human resources in the M&A process and post-M&A integration.
Session 6 Managing diversity
Session descriptions
Managing diversity has been recognised as one of the critical elements of business success in the strategic HRM literature. The objective of diversity management is to create organisations in which members of all socio-cultural backgrounds can contribute and achieve their full potential. This session discusses the conceptual premises and perceived benefits of diversity management as promoted in western literature. It critically assesses the extent to which these are applicable in different societal contexts such as China and India.
Session 7 Chinese businesses in Africa: diverse forms of engagement and different implications for human capital development in Africa
Session description
Drawing on evidence from the construction and IT industry as well as privately-owned small commercial businesses, the session examines the business strategy and human resource management practices adopted by these firms and assess their impact on the development of human resources in the host countries. The session also analyses the institutional forces that may influence the Chinese firms’ operational environment. It highlights lessons to be learned for Chinese firms that wish to go global and embed their business in the host country in a sustainable manner.
Session 8 International sanctions and implication for MNCs and HRM
Session description
International sanction often creates direct and indirect impact on multinational enterprises that affect their operations not least within their subsidiaries and through their global value chain. International sanctions cause business uncertainty and negative impacts on HRM. This session discusses the impact of international sanctions on MNCs and the workforce. It provides difference perspectives on this important but under-researched topic in international business.
