Rapid globalization is blurring traditional borders of nations, time, and space and, consequently, is challenging existing assumptions about managing organizations and having important implications for transnational HR and LR. This course will utilize fundamental staffing principles in the context of a global economy. Specifically, students will learn how to design and carry out various staffing activities effectively within labor market and global constraints. Staffing activities include recruitment (whom to recruit, where and when to recruit, and how to recruit), selection (whom to hire and why), and placement (in which jobs, at what time, and in what career progressions). Succession Planning in the global staffing context will also be examined.
