The globalization process of U.S. firms continues to march on and employees have to join this willingly or unwillingly.

This workshop will focus on linking global strategies with HR practice to provide applicable tools for you to manage the ongoing globalization process in your
organization more effectively.

This session will also provide an introduction to the concepts, challenges and complications involved in developing and executing a global strategy as related to HR function. Additionally, it will focus on the role of national cultures in the success and the failure of global strategies.
