Organizational Behavior of Globalization

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews many of the distinctive organizational challenges related to globalization. First, a background is established by identifying some forces driving globalization. An important aspect of this paper is to understand that a foreign subsidiary of a company is not an independent entity and therefore the company must understand that it is essential to adjust the corporate organizational behavior practices to meet the needs of employees in every country. The following organizational challenges are covered: adjusting organizational behavior to fit corporate culture; managing a global company; teamwork in a global atmosphere; the rights of the oppressed; and electronic communication and globalization. By putting these challenges in context, a U.S. multinational corporation could effectively develop the organizational behavior practices that can be successfully implemented by subsidiaries in other countries.

From the Paper:

"There are many globalization challenges for businesses, especially those operating across national boundaries as a multinational or global enterprise. Organizational behavior in a global company is especially challenging because organizational practices vary from country to country. With technology changing at every blink of the eye, the world in general is starting to look smaller and global dominance more attainable. As a result, more and more companies are venturing outside the constraints and realms of geographical and cultural boundaries. Thus, these companies are eagerly embarking upon the idea and concept of globalization. This prompts the need to manage human resources effectively to gain competitive advantage in the global market place."
