Problems for discussion and analysis

Page 143 (pages 63-64 in the 1st edition) of Human Resource Management in a Business Context contain two problems for discussion and analysis. They are not shown here - you need the book. This webpage is intended to provide guidance for users of the book to help in analysing the problem cases.

1. The Japanese subsidiary case

This mini-case allows you to explore some of your reading in this chapter. It also anticipates some of our discussion in chapter 9 (chapter 5 in the 1st edition) about culture and international management

This account of Japanese subsidiaries compares successful and unsuccessful subsidiaries (Stanford Business)

2. Leyanne's career

This mini-case lets you consider the consequences of globalization and the growth of multinationals on one person's career. Again use material from chapter chapter 9 (5 in the 1st edition) about culture and international human resource management. Also check out aspects of chapter 20 on development programmes, page 574 onwards (chapter 11, 1st edition, pages 350 onwards).
