How can international human resource management respond to the need for global integration yet also local responsiveness in transnational corporations?

 
Title 1. How can international human resource management respond to the need for global integration yet also local responsiveness in transnational corporations?
This essay asks you to grapple with one of the most common challenges in international human resource management – how to have global policies, whilst maintaining sensitivity to local cultures, norms, rules and working environments. It requires you to explore theoretical and empirical arguments for and against global integration and local responsiveness, as well as work that examines how the two can be balanced. Some literature that may help you to begin to consider the issues at the heart of this essay includes:
Brewster, C., Wood, G., & Brookes, M. (2007). Similarity, isomorphism or duality? Recent survey evidence on the human resource management policies of multinational corporations. British Journal of Management, 19(4), 320-342.

Pudelko, M., & Harzing, A.-W. (2008) “The Golden Triangle for MNCs: Standardization towards Headquarters Practices, Standardization towards Global Best Practices and Localization”, Organizational Dynamics, 37, 4, 394-404.
Some key questions to consider in relation to this essay include:
 What causes the global integration – local responsiveness dilemma?
 Why does this dilemma matter in the context of the strategy of transnational corporations, and in particular evolutions from the multinational to transnational corporation and the rise of strategic international human resource management?
 How can the dilemma be resolved? What are the pros and cons of different resolutions?
 Why do compromises between integration and responsiveness produce complex IHRM strategies and practices?

I want this paper to support my hypothesis that the private and government owned prisons industry is corrupt and ineffective in rehabilitating inmates. Instead its a recycling of what consists of mainly black and hispanic men. Also incorporate the racial imbalance of local arrest and how police target miniorities specifically in poor neighbirhoods. War on drugs being the cause of this oppresiveness. Develope own hypothesis regarding the topic and use THREE RELEVANT PEER-REVIEWED articles and one other source to support hypothesis. Must include introduction (what I intend to study/issues being discussed,why is it worth it,approach on topic and sources that helped), body of paper, conclusion and reference page (list of sources and cites must use APA format). 12 point double spaced minimum of 5 pages.

Website Migration Project

 
Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired you to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. In addition, they want the site redesigned to allow customers to order products online.

As part of your job, you must complete a 10-to-15 page paper that follows this project through the system development life cycle (SDLC). This assignment will require you to do the following:

Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available.
The Web architecture should describe and justify operating system choices (i.e., Linux, Apache, MYSQL, PHP, Windows, IIS, SQL, etc.).
Evaluate alternatives to the company self-hosting the site.
Build a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project or equivalent software, showing all tasks associated with implementing the Website.
The chart should include a minimum of five (5) tasks, each with three (3) sub-tasks.
Explain and justify the system architecture you have selected.
Illustrate the system architecture using Visio or equivalent software.
Create a use case that documents the event of a customer ordering a bag of chips from the new Website.
The use case should include a graphical representation using Visio or equivalent software and a text description of the events.
Discuss the support operations that the internally hosted Website will require after implementation.
Explain how you will evaluate the performance of the new site and the success of your project.
