Process Improvement

In the Week 3 Content, we cover Business Processes, including Process Improvement through streamlining and re-engineering, and process modeling of both the As-Is and the To-Be processes. Read that content before responding to this discussion.

Drawing from your own experience, select a process (a set of specified steps to accomplish a task) used at your place of work or in your interaction with a business that you would like to see improved and briefly describe the process. Be sure you have identified a specific process rather than a general business problem or area.

1) Explain why you picked that process.

2) Explain the steps you might take to analyze how to improve the process.

3) Who should be involved with you?

4) What are some of the questions you should ask about the current process?

5) How will you know if the process was actually improved?

First, we need to be sure you can identify a process; many students have difficulty with that, so refer to your class readings. Be sure to pick a fairly narrow scope for your process – for example, processing an invoice for payment vs. Accounts Payable. We should use social media to advertise more.” The discussion here is about identifying a specific process and how a business would go about deciding how to improve that process, who should be involved, what should be considered, and what steps should be taken to be able to analyze the current process and plan for improvement.) You should employ the techniques discussed in class or those that you find in your research. Keep in mind that outside resources strengthen your responses.

Assignment: Answer these essay questions:

1. Select one multinational organization that gets a lot of media attention and that most people are aware of, and explain its organizational culture.

2. Find one company – preferably one that garners frequent media attention – whose organization culture you think is exemplary. Explain the components of the company’s culture and why you think it’s an ideal place to work.

3. If you were a remote employee for a small book publishing company that was 200 miles from your home, how would you work to ensure you were still part of the organizational culture? Or do you think remote employees who never come to the office can’t be a part of the organization’s culture? Explain your viewpoint in detail.

4. You run a small app development company that has 9 employees: 3 of whom work in the office and the others work remotely but come to the office for quarterly meetings and team building activities. All 9 of your employees have been with you since day one and all are very satisfied with their job and the organization. You’re organizational culture is a relaxed one, where people have freedom to set their own hours, learn on the job, and always stretch their abilities. You think of your staff as your family. Due to rapid growth you are thinking about hiring 3 employees in Mumbai, India. If you do this, how could you work to export your organizational culture in a way that those employees have the same experience as your employees in the U.S.?

Describe three workforce trends that might impact companies and employees that are transforming to a global business model

Discussion: Global Human Resources

According to , the main reason for a company to become global is the ability to expand and grow. Companies that begin selling their products and services outside of the domestic market can extend the sales life of existing products by finding new markets to sell them in, and thus reduce their dependence on the domestic market or cyclical fluctuations and demand cycles. Transforming a business to be successful in a global market requires a considerable amount of work, planning, and financial investment. The same thing could be said regarding the work, planning, and investment that the HR professional must do when preparing for the role of a global human resource manager.

Hilka Klinkenberg, founder of Etiquette International in New York City (as cited in Newlands, 2015) claims that more than 75% of U.S. business ventures abroad are unsuccessful because Americans do not take the time to study the culture, customs and environment of the targeted markets. In addition to creating a strong business plan, companies should invest in the employees who will be building the necessary relationships for success. Taking time to learn the role of body language, dress, cultural heritage, traditions, how other cultures do business, and what activities have the greatest impact on relationships is key to successful international business.

In this week’s discussion, you will examine the essential functions of human resource management and how these functions might change as companies move to a global business model. You will also consider how HR professionals can help employees prepare for global assignments.

Assignment: The Global Work Environment

As of 2016, the U.S. State Department estimated that there are 8.7 million Americans who live and work outside of the United States (AARO, n.d.). However, according to research conducted by Saxer (2019), this number is probably much less, possibly closer to 5.1 million. While the number of people working outside might be in dispute, one thing is clear, there are many American citizens who live and work outside of the U.S. Some “expats” choose to do so for a “multitude of reasons, be they political, economic, professional, romantic” (Bortolot, 2020). Advancements in technology and the internet have made being an expat easier. Through the use of social media, video conferencing, banking apps, and entire online communities, many expatriates have the ability to conduct business anywhere in the world while remaining connected to family, friends, and colleagues.

While working and traveling abroad is not a new concept, for some employees becoming an expatriate can be a challenging endeavor and depending on their personality and situation, it might take a while to get settled into a new job. According to International Citizens (n.d.), expats may struggle with the language barrier and learning the ins and outs of a new culture. In addition to the challenges of a foreign housing market, expatriates can face complicated financial challenges including international taxes and benefits. U.S. citizens are also still required to file taxes at home as well. Companies that are well prepared for the global market and global employees can take many steps to help their employees adjust to being an expat.

Reflect on your own experience with another culture and the obstacles you may have encountered. Consider how you addressed these obstacles and what steps companies could take to prepare employees for an expatriate assignment.
