...MANAGING EXPATRIATE FOR AN INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNMENT Referring to the case study, there are gaps identified in the Kline & Associate international human resources management practices in terms of expatiate management. Before sending an employee to an international assignment there are certain skills an employee must acquire and it is the duty for the HRM of the firm to prepare the employee for any international assignment. However this was not done by Kline & and Associate before sending Fred Bailey to Tokyo which caused the culture shock and the challenges faced by Fred and his family in Japan. Firms use a variety of HR practices to manage their expatriates (Mendenhall et al., 1987; Brewster and Scullion, 1997). As successful expatriate assignments are indispensable to MNCs for strategy implementation, researchers and practitioners alike are interested in determining how to facilitate the success of expatriates’ assignments (Stroh and Caligiuri, 1998; Dowling and Welch, 2004; Scullion and Collings, 2006). However, MNCs differ on the extent to which these practices are used in managing expatriates (Tung, 1982; Kopp, 1994; Peterson et al., 1996; Scullion and Starkey, 2000) and how effectively they are designed (Mendenhall et al., 1987). According to Adler and Ghadar (1990), expatriate management practices, namely who the firm considers as possible expatriates, how the firm selects and trains them, what criteria the firm uses to assess their performance, and what impact the...

...Critique Ayman, Chemers, and Fiedler reviewed the model of leadership previously described by Fiedler & Chemers in 1974 and Fiedler in 1967 Ayman, Chemers, and Fiedler (1995) found the following: The model predicts that a leader’s effectiveness is based on two main factors: a leader’s attributes, referred to as task or relationship motivational orientation [formerly referred to as style], and a leader’s situational control [formerly referred to as situational favorability]. The model predicts that leaders who have a task motivational orientation compared to those who have a relationship orientation or motivation will be more successful in high- and low-control situations. (p. 287) The purpose of their article was to address the confusion surrounding the model’s components like how they relate to each other (Ayman, Chemers, & Fiedler, 1995). According to Ayman, Chemers, and Fiedler (1995), “the model’s constructs are: (1) leader’s characteristics, (2) situational control, and (3) leadership effectiveness” (p. 288). Ayman, Chemers, and Fiedler’s conclusion is that contingency model of leadership has been in practice and aided by research for the last thirty years. They revised the strengths and weaknesses of the model. According to Ayman, Chemers, and Fiedler (1995): The greatest strengths of the model reside in: (1) the conceptual and statistical independence of its central constructs, LPC and situational control; (2) its emphasizes on independence and, where possible...

... PA The service sector of the US economy has been gaining importance. As the service sector evolves, the study of service supply chain starts to gain attention. In this study, we conduct an exploratory review on the studies of manufacturing and service supply chains. We focus on the studies that explore the differences and commonalities between manufacturing and service supply chains. We combine operations management literature with supply chain studies in order to provide an interdisciplinary framework that brings up both the operational and strategic views on the management commonalities and differences between the two types of supply chains. I. INTRODUCTION The study of services has lagged the study of manufacturing. When Fred Harvey proposed that services can be standardized and managed systematically, standardization and systematic management had been applied in the manufacturing sector by pioneers such as Eli Whitney and Frederick Taylor. The first business school course that focused on service management was not introduced until 1973 (Heineke and Davis, 2006). Despite the lag of academic attention, the service sector has been gaining importance as the US economy becomes more and more service-centric. According to the US Census Bureau, the service sector accounts for fifty five percent of the US economic activities in 2007 (Services Annual Survey, 2007). Along with the evolvement of service industries, service research starts to catch up and a variety of aspects...

Lombardi† Francesco Ravazzolo‡ July 11, 2013 Abstract In the recent years several commentators hinted at an increase of the correlation between equity and commodity prices, and blamed investment in commodity-related products for this. First, this paper investigates such claims by looking at various measures of correlation. Next, we assess what are the implications of higher correlations...

...of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy, Economic Elite Domination, and two types of interest group pluralism, Majoritarian Pluralism and Biased Pluralism – offers different predictions about which sets of actors have how much influence over public policy: average citizens; economic elites; and organized interest groups, mass-based or business-oriented. A great deal of empirical research speaks to the policy influence of one or another set of actors, but until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions against each other within a single statistical model. This paper reports on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues. Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism. 2 Gilens and Page Testing Theories of American Politics...

Al-Rodhan Ambassador Gérard Stoudmann Definitions of Globalization: A Comprehensive Overview and a Proposed Definition Abstract Many authors have attempted, with relative success, to define globalization in a variety of ways. Some claim that it cannot be done, others claim that it would constrain the meaning to do so, and still others have defied these two beliefs and have constructed a working definition. Despite differing opinions about developing a definition, all authors agree on one thing: that defining this term is anything but easy. This paper will attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing definitions of globalization and introduce our proposed definition: “Globalization is a process that encompasses the causes, course, and consequences of...

Some may not know it, but most of these photos have been edited and retouched. This research paper attempted to determine the majority opinion of what types of photo editing was above the tolerable limit, as well as the public awareness of media manipulation. The different levels of photo editing included changing the contrast, removal of blemishes and dust, addition/removal of objects, and addition/removal of main subjects. The results revealed that most people are aware of photoshopping in the media and they suspected there was more photo editing in magazines and advertisements than newspapers. 3 Chapter 1 In every publication there are most likely photos accompanying articles, advertisements, or exist as an article by themselves. Pictures help support an article, promote a product, tell a story, and bring the viewer in. Nowadays there are an abundance...

...Financial Accounting for Mergers and Acquisitions h. Chapter 19: Choosing the Form of an Acquisitive Reorganization A570_Learning Objectives_Class #1 Chapter 1 1. While I do not want you to memorize the lists contained in Chapter 1, I think that they provide a useful model for thinking about M&A. Bruner opines that M&A outcomes (see #2) are driven by “structure” and “conduct”, but that structure and conduct also interact with each other. a. In the case of “structure”, Bruner is referring to “what exists.” He is thinking of exactly the kinds of issues one contemplates when looking at a “SWOT” analysis. As you will recall, the “SW” side of the analysis deals with issues that are INTERNAL to the company (its resources—both capital and labor, and what it is capable—and incapable—of doing) while the OT side of the analysis deals with issues that are EXTERNAL to the company (changes in the marketplace, new technologies, competitors that could invade the company’s turf and competitors whose turf the company can invade). The “structure” part of the equation is “deterministic”; in other words, it is based on “causality.” b. In the case of “conduct”, the authors are referring to the behavior of the participants....
