Duncan University of Phoenix February, 2008 InterClean Inc-Strategic Alignment-MBA-530 Introduction In developing human resources (HR) management approaches to the InterClean Inc. scenario, fundamental principals are necessary for the completion of a unified plan. The creation of business unit interdependence, based on a central company vision that is communicated throughout the organization is considered the primary key to achieving sustained competitive advantage. Rather than viewing the InterClean Inc. transition as a problem, this paper attempts to organize the process as an enterprise opportunity to address real issues necessary for the new products/services campaign. Included in this analysis through the 9 step PBL model, are concepts meant to support informed business decisions that have proven to help real world companies succeed in growing from change proposals, to achieving and maintaining effective HR practices. Describe the Situation Restructuring the framework of InterClean Inc. requires an organizational commitment towards accomplishing new objectives. The main focus for management should be to communicate clearly with all departments how important operational effectiveness and strategy is, for making the products services vision work. Each business unit must be aware of the necessity for activities to interrelate, while consistently accomplishing pro-active success cycles to satisfy measurement expectations. Issues...

English Language. doi: 10.1386/jots.2.2.83/1 Towards a generic international human resource management (IHRM) model Jie Shen University of South Australia Abstract Keywords Reflecting the prevailing Western literature and based on an empirical study in Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs), this study develops an IHRM model and argues that it can be widely applicable. The model indicates that an MNE’s IHRM policies and practices are the interaction of the home HRM system, firmspecific factors and host-contextual factors. The firm-specific and host-contextual factors have a differentiated, changing and concurrent impact on IHRM policies and practices. There is also interplay between IHRM policies and practices. Intervening factors and their impact may vary over time and in different contexts. IHRM IHRM model intervening factors Chinese IHRM multinational enterprises (MNEs) Internationalization and the effective use of international human resources are two major issues facing firms in today’s global economy. As more and more firms operate internationally, there is a clear need to develop an understanding of how to manage human resources that are located outside the domestic environment. An IHRM system is a set of distinct activities, functions and processes that are directed at attracting...
