...How Roche Diagnostics Develops Global Managers Seena S. Nelms HRM 500 Human Resource Management Foundations Dr. Sue Lowe December 16, 2012 How Roche Diagnostics Develops Global Managers 1. Discuss who is responsible for producing global leaders. With the constant advances in telecommunications and in the era of information technology, many companies have found it easier today to operate around the globe than they did twenty years ago. In order for organizations to attain growth, it is often necessary and profitable for them to have centers in other countries. According to Noe (2011), there are “more and more companies entering international markets by exporting their products, building facilities in other countries, and entering into alliances with foreign companies” (p. 457). While these companies are building facilities in other countries, they will need new managers to run their operations in these facilities. And if the organizations don’t have enough leaders that have the required skills and capabilities and are willing to accept these important operating positions, it could put the company at a disadvantage in the global marketplace. As most global leaders will develop their skills through experience; it is ultimately the responsibility of the organization to produce global leaders. With global leaders developing their skills through the process of trial and error, it has become expensive and time-consuming; so organizations...

Not having anyone trained to go abroad ramification would cost an organization the opportunity to broaden their opportunity to the international level. Due to the variety of international activities that require managers need to understand HRM principles and practices prevalent in global markets would be the biggest obstacle (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart & Wright, 2011).

...Discuss who is responsible for producing global leaders. A leader is an individual that has made decision to succeed. This individual is not afraid to try new things and to master them. Leaders are creative and they excel at anything that they put their hands to do. Leaders help others by becoming trailblazers to create a path of success for his/her families, friends, or colleagues to follow. Leaders are not selfish individuals; they rise with the intentions to conquer the day. Leaders plan for the future not complaining about minor things that they can’t change, yet they remain unstoppable towards their goals. Leaders are able to humbly take criticisms and direction and to quickly correct those things that may have been challenged. Leaders are always seeking ways to improve every aspect of their lives. They are business woman and business men that are serious about creating new opportunities. Leaders influence others to become great and to have an assisting hand in helping others to become successful. A leader is admired by many; and attracts followers because of their confidence. Global leaders are created at home first. They are shaped and molded by their parents who never give them an option to give up or settle. These parents are not satisfied with just enough, or hear the words “I Can’t”. These children are future leaders, will bloom into adolescent and then adults; remembering the instructions. After this foundation has been established...

Feel free to cite outside sources to support your positions as necessary. 1. | | Based on the description in the case and the definitions in the text, would you characterize Roche Diagnostics as an international, multinational, or global organization? Explain.Roche has elements of both multinational and global organizations. Since Roche has diagnostic headquarters in the U.S., Switzerland, and Germany, it operates as a multinational organization and global organization. Multinational organizations go overseas on a broader scale. They build facilities in a number of different countries as a way to keep production and distribution costs to a minimum. In general, when organizations become multinationals, they move production facilities from relatively high-cost locations to lower-cost locations.Roche falls in line with the definition of a global organization as well. Global organizations locate each facility based on the ability to effectively, efficiently, and flexibly produce a product or service, using cultural differences as an advantage. Rather than treating differences in other countries as a challenge to overcome, a global organization treats different cultures as equals. It may have multiple headquarters spread across the globe, so decisions are more decentralized. | 2. | | Evaluate...

Answer An active and open civil society has a responsibility in my opinion of producing global leaders. Global leaders can depend on your interpretation of a leader; most people base it on success and or money. Producing responsible leaders has always been a part of business education, but it seems over time to have become more of incident by product than central tenet. The business world today needs leaders who can make decisions from comprehensive perspective, considering how a course of actions may have consequences for removed from the room in which a decision is made. Business leaders must also embrace ethical standards and those standards need to be communicated through all levels of industry.

...How Roche Diagnostics Develops Global Managers Lucinda P. Williams Strayer University Human Resource Management Foundation –HRM 500 December 6, 2011 Dr. William Clampitt How Roche Diagnostics Develops Global Managers 1. Discuss who is responsible for producing global leaders. The tasks of producing global leader is the responsibility of the organization, parent country, and the host country. Global organizations compete with a much broader group of companies than their domestic counterparts. They operate at the highest level of involvement in the global marketplace and must develop several strategies that are efficient and cost-effective. These organizations are flexible and compete by offering top products tailored to segments of the market while keeping costs as low as possible. They may have multiple headquarters spread throughout the world and have a decentralized decision making structure. The location of each facility is based on the ability to effectively, efficiently, and flexibly produce a product or service base using cultural difference as an advantage. Global organizations threats different cultures as equals, rather than challenges they have to overcome. This type of organization requires human resource management practices that encourage flexibility and are based on an in-depth knowledge of differences among countries (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2011, p. 461). Global leadership is an important factor in future business success. The term...

...How Roche Diagnostics Develops Global Managers Leslie A. Parker Gay Spencer Fundamentals of Human Resource Management September 2, 2011 Companies will always state that the people within the organization are their greatest asset. The company gives the individual the opportunity through career development paths and mentoring to become a global leader. The company will develop and empower the employee through cross-cultural preparation. Career development helps the expatriate and the inpatriate employees make the transitions to and from their assignments and help the organization apply the knowledge the employees has obtained from their assignment. When organizations hire and groom the employee to work in a foreign country the employer needs to provide the employees with training in how to handle the challenges associated with working in the foreign country. The company trains the employee to think globally and to be able to take advantage of global opportunities to stay competitive. The now global leader will be able to appreciate cultural diversity, become technologically savvy, build teamwork and partnerships in the foreign country which will result in greater achievements and embrace change. In order for an employee to have a successful assignment in a foreign country it’s imperative to have the support of your family. In my field of insurance, the ramifications of not having a global leader to handle the issues of having insurance will hinder the success...

Introduction The expression customer relationship management (CRM) has only been in use since the early 1990s. Since then there have been many attempts to define the domain of CRM, a number of which appear in Table 1.1. As a relatively immature business or organizational practice, a consensus has not yet emerged about what counts as CRM. Even the meaning of the three-letter acronym CRM is contested. For example, although most people would understand that CRM means customer relationship management, others have used the acronym to mean customer relationship marketing.1 Information technology (IT) companies have tended to use the term CRM to describe the software applications that automate the marketing, selling and service functions of businesses. This equates CRM with technology. Although the market for CRM software is now populated with many players, it started in 1993 when Tom Siebel founded Siebel Systems Inc. Use of the term CRM can be traced back to that period. Forrester, the technology research organization, estimates that...

...Abstract This article presents the role of communication research in the clothing industry in Bangladesh. The aim of our research was to show how these clothing and textile companies use a marketing communication mix for the promotion of products and brands. Our findings suggest that a properly used marketing communication mix is a factor for success in the Bangladeshi clothing industry. The research results address three groups of companies. Companies with a more developed brand name place more importance on advertising in the marketing communications mix, while the second and third groups of companies give more importance to personal selling. Differences between the groups are obvious, and these correlate to the development of a brand name. The ready-made garment (RMG) industry of Bangladesh started in the late 1970s and became a prominent player in the economy within a short Period of time. The industry has contributed to export earnings, foreign exchange, employment creation, poverty alleviation and the empowerment of women. The export-quota system and the availability of cheap labor are the two main reasons behind the success of the industry. In the 1980s, the RMG industry of Bangladesh was concentrated mainly in manufacturing and exporting woven products. Since the early 1990s, the knit section of the industry has started to expand. Shirts, T-shirts, sweaters and jackets are the main products manufactured and exported by the industry. Bangladesh exports its RMG products...

...Summary: This chapter brings strategic management to life with many contemporary examples. Sixteen types of strategies are defined and exemplified, including Michael Porter’s generic strategies: cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. Guidelines are presented for determining when it is most appropriate to pursue different types of strategies. An overview of strategic management in nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, and small firms is provided. Long-term Objectives: Long-term objectives represent the results expected from pursuing certain strategies whereas strategies represent the actions to be taken to accomplish long-term objectives. The time frame for objectives and strategies should be consistent, usually from two to five years. Objectives serve as standards by which individuals, groups, departments, divisions, and entire organizations can be evaluated. Long-term objectives are needed at the corporate, divisional, and functional levels of an organization. They are an important measure of managerial performance. Success only rarely occurs by accident; rather, it is the result of hard work directed toward achieving certain objectives. The Nature of Long-Term Objectives: Objectives should be quantitative, measurable, realistic, understandable, challenging, hierarchical, obtainable, and congruent among organizational units. Each objective should also be associated with a timeline. Objectives are commonly stated in terms such as growth in assets, growth...
