This document discusses international assignment failure and expatriates. It provides statistics on failure rates for US, European, and Japanese multinationals. Common reasons for failure include inability to adjust to the new culture or environment, family problems, lack of skills, and short assignment lengths. Failure can be costly and is reduced through careful screening, orientation, cultural training, and support for expatriates and their families. Qualities like cultural flexibility and relationships skills predict success for international assignments.
Human resource management involves attracting, developing and maintaining an effective workforce to achieve organizational objectives. International HRM is more complex due to differing cultures, economic conditions, and legal systems among countries. Firms must decide whether to use parent-country nationals, host-country nationals, or third-country nationals as managers. They must also adapt hiring, training, compensation and other HR practices to each country.
There are several key issues to consider in international compensation management:
1. Compensation packages typically include a base salary, allowances, benefits, and consideration of taxes.
2. Packages aim to maintain an expatriate's home country standard of living through the balance sheet approach or match local pay through the going rate approach.
3. Social security systems differ globally and must address issues like benefit portability and which country is responsible for payments.

Finding these jobs typically involves:
Researching companies that sponsor visas.
Crafting a compelling resume and cover letter tailored to unskilled job positions.
Preparing for interviews by understanding the job requirements and showcasing a willingness to learn.

1. Agenda
Managing Knowledge in International Firms
Gaining excess to External Knowledge
International Training and Development
Concepts and Models
Leadership Training and Development in
Multinational Organizations
Technology in International Training management
2. Training employees is indispensable for
international organizations in order to remain
competitive.
International Organizations are far more
exposed to challenges than domestic
businesses because they not only cater to
global markets but face competition
everywhere.
6. The aim in a global business is to get the best ideas
from everywhere. Each team puts up its best ideas
and processes constantly. That raises the bar. Our
culture is designed around
making a hero out of those who translate ideas
from one place to another, who help somebody
else. They get an award, they get praised and
promoted.
7. Truly global operations means having a team of international
managers who are available to go anywhere in the world.
Provide international experience to many levels of managers
Short-term development assignments ranging from a few months
to several years
International job rotation
Attendance at common training and development programs held
either in the parent country, or regional centers, or both
International meetings in various locations that foster interaction
and personal networks
8. The international assignment emerges as an
important way of training international
operators, developing the international team,
or cadre, as well as helping to build personal
networks to support soft-control
mechanisms. In this sense, an international
assignment is both training (gaining
international experience and competence) and
managerial and organizational development
9. Expatriates are vital for the growth of
international business as they provide skills,
talent, innovations, entrepreneurialism and
knowledge transfer.
Expatriates are a great value for MNCs due to
the various attributes as presented in Table
10. Career Cycle
The career cycle begins with the identification of
the best performers in the home country and
offers him/her a foreign job in subsidiary
company. Otherwise, the best qualified
candidates with best performance record apply
for a foreign job in foreign organizations. The
foreign organizations select the employees
based on the job fit.
11. Preparing for Foreign Assignment
The next stage involves preparing the employee
for foreign assignment and family members for
foreign orientation. These activities involve
language training, foreign social and cultural
orientation to employee and family members
and job training to employee.
12. Most of the expatriate employees fail in the first
foreign assignment either at the initial stage itself or
at different latter stages either due to cultural shock
or due to maladjustment with the host country's
climatic, security and other environmental
conditions or due to maladjusted with the job
demands or with the behaviour of superior and
colleagues and organizational requirements.
For example, a Japanese employee could not adjust
with his superior's management style in Toyota in
Brisbane and returned to his country within three
months of his assignment
13. Why Expatriates Fail?
There would be several reasons for the failure of the expatriates in
their foreign assignments. The Board reasons include:
Inability of spouse to adjust to foreign environment
Inability of employees to adjust
Other family Problems
Employee's personal or emotional maturity
Inability to cope up with larger overseas responsibilities
Difficulties with new environment
Absence of educational, health and recreational facilities in host
countries
Lack of technical and job related competence
Unsafe living and working conditions in host countries.
14. 1. Lack of Technical and Managerial Competence
2. Employee's Inability to Adjust to Organizational
Climate
3. Employee's Personal and Emotion Immaturity
- broad mindedness, mental stability, emotional
intelligence and balance
4. Unattractive Pay Package
-Employees experience high income tax rate, high
cost of living and other ground realities after a few
months of their arrival in the host country. Added to
this, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates reduce
their savings or financial gains from the foreign
assignment
15. 5. Poor Educational, Health and Recreational
Facilities
6. Unsafe Living and Working Conditions
7. Family Problems
-Various studies indicate that this is one of the
major problems for expatriate's failure. Employees'
family problems at home like old parents, and
other dependents, social and family events,
customs and traditions to be performed influence
the employee and his/her spouse to think of
repatriating to home country
8. Inability of spouse to Adjust
16. Spouses fail to adjust to a foreign country's
environment due to:
Lack of familiar social network of family and
friends;
Language differences that make difficult of
developing new friends and network;
Feel of tapped at home;
Immigration rules that inhabit the spouse to
take up part-time employment;
Cultural variations;
17. Poor educational, health and recreational facilities at the
host country;
Unsafe living and working conditions in the host country;
Development of dual career family groups at home and
inability of one of the spouses to get employment in the
same city of the host country.
One study indicates that 49% the spouses were employed in
the host country before commencement of foreign
assignment of an expatriate employee and only 11% were
employed during the assignment. Another study indicates
that main reason for turning down of foreign assignment
has been due to spouse's career at home.
One study found that lack of spouse's satisfaction is
responsible to the tune of 22% of expatriates' failure

3) Implementation of Training Courses
4) Assessment of Training Utility
5) Renewal of Training System
22. Internationalization of training function can be
attributed partially to leardership development
initiatives.
since this is the area where organisations have
realized benefits of moving away from
localization of training particularly the design
and development of training courses.
23. Today, increasing number of global
organizations have built a globally valid
leadership competency framework based on
which leadership development courses are
designed and delivered.
Companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and
Google Have their own Leadership

of creating, sharing, structuring, and auditing
knowledge to maximize the effectiveness of an
organization’s collective expertise
41. Knowledge management in practice
Knowledge management can be separated into
three main areas:
Accumulating knowledge
Storing knowledge
Sharing knowledge
42. Types of knowledge
When discussing knowledge management, it is helpful to consider the different
types of knowledge and how it is possible to share them within an organization.
The information knowledge management covers can generally be broken down
into three main types:
1. Explicit knowledge is knowledge and information that can be easily
codified and taught, such as how to change the toner in a printer and
mathematical equations.
2. Implicit knowledge is knowledge that explains how best to implement
explicit knowledge. For example, consider discussing a task with an
experienced co-worker. They may provide explicit steps detailing how to
complete the job. But they may also use their understanding of the situation
to consider different options and decide the best approach for your given
circumstances. The experienced employee utilizes and shares their implicit
knowledge to improve how the team operates.
3. Tacit knowledge is knowledge gained through experience. Therefore, it is
more intuitive and less easy to share with others. Examples of tacit
knowledge are “know-hows”, innovative thinking, and understanding body
language.
43. Examples of knowledge management
Staff retiring
An employee’s knowledge and skillset grow as they spend time
with an organization. As a result, staff typically retire with a
wealth of expertise that the company needs to mine using
efficient knowledge management processes in order to reduce
disruption and prevent workforce knowledge gaps.
This means identifying and capturing the meaningful
information that needs to be retained by the organization and
determining the best approach for storing and distribution.
Employee transfer or promotion
When staff change positions within a company, they must
develop additional skillsets and expertise to match their new
role.
Efficient knowledge management procedures simplify delivering
this information to create a seamless transition from one
position to another.
44. Benefits of knowledge management
A survey of over 286 people working in knowledge
management across a range of industries, locations,
and company sizes found the most significant
benefits to be:
Reduced time to find information
Reduced time for new staff to become competent
Reduced operational costs
Improved customer satisfaction
Improved bid win/loss ratio
46. 1. Introduction
A primary rationale for the existence of MNCs is
their ability to transfer knowledge more
effectively and efficiently than through market
mechanisms
Accenture invested in the development of a
global knowledge management system with
thousands of databases where consultants would
enter knowledge about projects into the system
for other members to access it.
47. Sender unit’s ability and willingness.
● Disseminative capacity refers to the ability and willingness of organisational
members to share knowledge (Minbaeva and Michailova, 2004).
▪ For sharing explicit knowledge, this pedagogical ability is evidenced by source
unit’s proficiency in codifying knowledge in manuals, reports and systems
avail.to other parts of the corporation.
▪ Sharing tacit knowledge is more difficult, requiring skills in interpersonal and
face-to-face interaction (good language and communication skills and
understanding of cross-cultural factors).
▪ For knowledge sharing to take place, the source of the knowledge must be
willing to share it (Szulanski, 1996): ‘why help others in an organisation with
something that is a key competitive advantage for one’s own career?
● Social status and reputation play important roles in shaping the context for
knowledge sharing: people gain status when considered as knowledgeable and
sharing knowledge with others is a good way for them to enhance their
reputation.
▪ Knowledge sharing requires social networks within the MNC where reputations
are built and where people learn not only what the useful sources of knowledge
are, but also who is willing to engage in joint problem solving.
48. Receiver unit’s ability and willingness
Relationship between the sending and
receiving units
49. Disseminating information about superior
performance and knowledge
▪ It is important to identify superior practices by
measuring relevant dimensions of unit
performance. By making performance data widely
available, the units can themselves uncover
examples of unique and valuable knowledge.
❖Alfa Laval Agri from Sweden held quarterly
meetings for all its subsidiary managers where
they were required to present performance data
along multiple dimensions, which helped to reduce
the bias present in internal assessments of
capabilities and stimulated knowledge sharing
among the units (Monteiro et al., 2008).
50. Employing HRM practices that influence the
ability and motivation of employees to absorb
knowledge
▪ Research shows that successful
implementation of traditional HR practices can
enhance a unit’s absorptive capacity (Minbaeva
et al., 2003) e.g. by recruiting people with
required skills/knowledge or investing in
training and development. Performance
management systems give employees direction
for enhancing their competencies to meet the
organisation’s knowledge needs
51. When individuals perceive that they are rewarded
for their performance and expertise, sharing
knowledge with others may be seen contrary to
their interest
Knowledge sharing is part of the formal
performance reviews for managers and
engineers. Schlumberger field engineers have
objectives relating to best practices, lessons
learned and other aspects of knowledge sharing.
An incentive system encouraging collaboration
and knowledge sharing is more likely to produce
these outcomes than a performance evaluation
system
52. intrinsic motivation is more effective than
the motivation of extrinsic rewards when tacit
knowledge is involved. In certain
circumstances, the use of rewards may be
counter-productive, which implies that we
cannot simply pay for a knowledge-sharing
behaviour: such collaborative behaviour must
be encouraged and facilitated
53. Selecting expatriates with knowledge sharing
in mind
▪ Cross-border transfers of personnel is one of
the most important levels of knowledge
sharing that MNCs have at their disposal. The
close interactions of experienced expatriates
with employees in their local units offer
opportunities for sharing tacit knowledge
54. Toyota’s global strategy has been focused on
gaining market share by building manufacturing
plants in markets all over the world. Employees
from these new locations were taught the Toyota
Way (production and manufacturing philosophy
of continuous improvement), tacit knowledge
transferred through extensive of expatriates.
❖Toyota expanded and did not have enough
expatriates. To speed up the learning process and
to reinforce the knowledge transfer mechanism,
Toyota created a Global Production Center in
Toyota City with the goal of accelerating
development of local employees with deep
knowledge of the Toyota production system (TPS).
55. Designing appropriate structural mechanisms
▪ Various lateral structural mechanisms are
used in part or primarily to stimulate
knowledge sharing. E.g., product development
committees with members that represent
different geographic units and functional areas
are established with the aim of tapping into the
different perspectives and pools of experience
that the members bring to the committee
56. Building a conductive social architecture: social
capital, social norms and global mindsets
▪ The social relationship between the source
and the receiver is another strong determinant
of knowledge sharing within MNCs
57. Improve quality of service to users
Improve user satisfaction
Increase adoption of self learning
Reduce time to diagnose, incidents and
problems
Reduction in training time and costs
Faster adoption of new or changed services.
