MG 350 Strategic Global Human Resources Management

The role of human resource management in sustaining international business in the complex, ever-changing world of international trade is the central focus of this course. International Human Resource Management (International HRM) provides insights into the critical issues facing organizations in simultaneously managing their human resources domestically and internationally. It focuses on the relation between corporate strategies and the effective management of human resources, which at times, may require differing policies across national boundaries. This course is based on the notion that competitive firms and the political economy (e.g., the political, economic, and legal system) and cultures within countries require appropriate structures, policies, and strategies for managing their employees at every level of the enterprise. This is particularly true of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and transnational corporations (TCs) that are intricately involved in the global trade and investment environment.
