Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course provides a comprehensive examination of human resource management in multinational corporations and global business environments. Building upon foundational HRM concepts, the course explores the unique challenges and strategic opportunities that arise when managing human capital across national borders, cultures, and institutional contexts.
Students will analyze how global organizations design and implement HR strategies that balance the competing demands of global integration and local responsiveness. The curriculum covers critical topics including international staffing approaches, expatriate management and global mobility, cross-cultural leadership development, international compensation systems, and comparative employment relations. Special attention is given to the cultural dimensions that shape management practices across regions and the theoretical frameworks that explain multinational HR decision-making.
Through case studies of leading multinational corporations, students will develop practical skills in designing globally consistent yet locally adaptive HR policies. The course also addresses emerging trends including global HR analytics, distributed workforce management, and the impact of geopolitical dynamics on international human capital strategies. Graduates will be equipped to lead HR functions in global organizations or manage diverse international teams effectively.
