Overview
This assessment is based on the following case study:
Your organization is looking to acquire a company in the country of your choice. Before your company and the new firm begin join operations, you want to communicate to the membership of both organizations how your selected marginalized group is viewed differently between that culture and that of the United States.
As you prepare a business report, keep in mind the differences that are present in the roles of your selected marginalized group in each country, and the challenges that might be experienced by the members of each organization as they begin to integrate operations and bring both organizations under the same reporting chain. U.S. members will experience a change in their management structure as a result of this acquisition, so please consider how a leadership role could impact your marginalized group in this country.Address the expectations and roles of your selected group in a 3–4 page business report for the organization's management team in your selected country and the United States that addresses the following:
- Describe how each country regards this group.
- Be sure to describe three assumptions that influence views in each country. How could these assumptions influence employee management?
- Assess how these assumptions impact an organization's global recruiting and hiring practices.
- For example, could a member of this marginalized group hold a leadership role in your country of interest? How does this influence your organization and work culture?
- Examine organizational integration and communication impacts for HR in this scenario.
- For example, how will onboarding and training activities conducted by human resources be impacted?
- What should HR do to prepare themselves for this change?
