06211155 - International HRM and Cross-cultural Management

This comprehensive course in International Human Resource Management & Cross-Cultural Management (IHRM & CCM) begins with an introduction to the fundamental principles of crossing cultural backgrounds in management and managing human capital on a global scale. Participants will delve into the intricate cultural context shaping IHRM practices, gaining insights into how cultural nuances impact international HR strategies. A comparative examination of national HRM contexts provides a framework for understanding and navigating diverse global workforce dynamics. The course progresses to address two major themes: 1) cross-cultural dimension and 2) critical aspects such as staffing, recruitment, and selection for global markets, empowering learners with effective strategies for talent acquisition worldwide. Inter- and cross-cultural management practices and international training, development, and career management are explored to ensure participants are well-versed in fostering a globally competitive workforce. The curriculum then covers crucial dimensions including cross-cultural management, international compensation, performance management, knowledge transfer within multinational companies, and global talent management, offering a holistic view of managing human resources across international borders and cultures.
