OTMT 677 Global Human Resources and Inclusion (2)

For successful organizations in the 21st century, the market for talent is a global one. As organizations increasingly operate on a global scale and employ a global workforce, significant Human Resource challenges emerge. Among the question to be addressed in this course are standardization vs. localization of human resource policies, cultural differences in how management and leadership are viewed, and the social, political, and cultural issues facing global human resource managers. The implications of cultural diversity as an organizational strategy are examined through the joint lenses of both challenge and opportunity.
