9 International and Comparative HRM Week 1 The Globalisation of International Human Resource Management Alhajie Saidy Khan Lord Ashcroft International Business School
10 Lecture focuses upon the: Historical developments in international economic activity What is Globalisation? The definitional debate Key characteristics of Globalisation Globalisation: a critical perspective Nature and dominance of MNCs Globalisation, MNCs and international transfer of practice Lecture outline
11 Globalisation: the historical context (1) Historical developments in the World economy: Long history of international trading relations Importance of colonial expansion (C17 th & C18 th ) Manufacturing multinationals appeared in world economy after mid C19th and established by WWI Annual growth of volume of international trade of 3.4% Impact of protectionism prior to WWI; fall in world trade in 1930s following Depression; WWII. (Hirst and Thompson 1996, Chapter 2; Harzing & Ruysseveldt, 2004/5, 2011)
12 Globalisation: the historical context (2) Post War developments in the World economy USA domination: economic development as instrument of the cold war) International institutions (GATT, IMF, OECD) Exchange rate system Golden Age by 1950s and 1960s volume of trade increasing more rapidly than production, rapid economic growth and full employment (see Bretton Woods Revisted - Economist )
13 Key indicators of Economic Internationalisation Trends on international trade: the data(next slide Phenomenon of Regional trading blocs and increase in regional trade Foreign Direct investment Economic liberalisation Dominance of TNCs
14 Growth in World production and trade (% in volume) Trade Production (WTO, 2002)
15 Theories of determinants of economic internationalisation Theory of Absolute advantage (Adam Smith, 1776) Relative advantage Theory (Ricardo, 1917) H-O theorem differences in factor endowment (Ohlin, 1933) Porter s 6 criteria theory of comparative and competitive advantage (1990) Dunning s Eclectic paradigm (2003) See various editions of Edward and Rees
16 Internationalisation vs. globalisation Internationalisation: the simple extension of economic activities across national boundaries. Globalisation qualitatively different processes that involve the functional integration of internationally dispersed activities (Dicken, 2003, 2007, 2011)
17 Globalisation: a qualitative explanation Globalisation as qualitatively different form of international economy? Deep-seated (irreversible) shift in structure and operation of production and markets Undermining of nation-states as significant economic actors Cultural Homogeneity or dominance without hegemony? Global corporations (TNCs/MNCs) with no allegiance to any particular place and or community (Dicken 2011, 2007, 2003)
18 Or, Globalisation as illusion No fundamental changes in world economy World economy more open and integrated Global markets can be controlled by mixture of national/supranational regulation Importance of cultural differences (Child 2002) Relatively few truly international companies and concentration of FDI among advanced economies (Dicken, various eds.; and Hirst and Thompson)
19 Characteristics of Globalisation Uneven development and rate of globalisation Key role of Multi/Transnational Corporations (MNCs/TNCs) in coordinating production chains and shaping new world economy Foreign direct investment (FDI) as indicator of MNC/TNC activity and the growth of international production Dynamic relationship between MNCs/TNCs and national (or supranational) regulatory regimes and growth of product market competition (Dicken, 2003, 2007, 2011)
20 Dominance of Multi/Transnational Corporations What is Multi/Transnational Corporation? Narrow Definition direct ownership of operations overseas measured by FDI (foreign direct investment) Broad Definition a company which either directly or indirectly controls production or service provision in two or more countries covers licensing, franchising, sub-contracting, joint ventures and strategic alliances as well as FDI
21 Significance of Multi/Transnational Corporations (1) TNCs are driving force behind internationalisation of economic activity Dominate international and national economies Ability to take advantage of differences between states Ability to shift resources and operations between countries According to the UN, the stock of FDI had increased from $560 billion in 1980 to $7,213 billion in 2002 (about $12,500 billion in 2006). UNCTAD, 2006
22 MNCs/TNCs: from investment to Global control By 1997 the UN estimated that 53,607 parent TNCs had controlled 448,917 foreign subsidiaries, producing about 25% of world output In 2002, the top 100 TNCs employed over 14.3 million workers of which just under half worked in their foreign affiliates in 2002 (UNCTAD) By 2004 the UN estimated that 61,000 parent TNCs had controlled over 900,000 foreign subsidiaries, generating annual sales of $19 trillion and employing around 54 million people.
23 GDP or Total Sales (US$ bn) MNCs/TNCs and Sovereign states Companies vs Countries (1997) General Motors Thailand Norway Ford Mitsui & Co. Saudi Arabia Mitsubishi Poland Itochu South Africa Royal Dutch/Shell Marubeni Greece Sumitomo Exxon Toyota Wal Mart Malaysia Israel Colombia Venezuela Phillipines Country or Corporation
24 Micro-level explanation for why Firms go multinational Competitive strategies for product markets Gain market power by overcoming disadvantage of being seen as foreign) efficiency - possessing a strategic or ownership (benefits of which can only be realised through internal transfer within firm) Factor Supply Raw materials supply (secure control) Transfer pricing strategies. Labour supply (cheapest labour costs, ability to divide and rule); but issues of labour costs as proportion of total costs and productivity
25 Motivations for internationalisation: Dunnings s Eclectic paradigm Theory of synthesis of 3 conditions: They possess ownership-specific advantages not possessed by competing firms (in host country) Advantage most effectively secured by production overseas (c.f. selling or leasing) i.e the firm internalises use of ownership-specific advantages There must be location-specific advantages which make it profitable for the firm to exploit its assets in overseas (c.f. domestic) locations
26 Internationalisation: Contradicting demands of centralisation and decentralisation Centralised control: benefits of co-ordination and control activities across divisions and countries) e.g. McDonalds Decentralised control: benefits of local autonomy and ability to respond to local conditions & optimise local expertise But are they mutually exclusive? Different issues require different levels of decision-making and response. The scope for differences could, however, define differences between TNCs
27 Country of origin effects and transfer of practice Some evidence of TNCs becoming more global (spread of international business divisions, management teams etc.) Evidence of TNC reorganisation within EU (mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances) Crucially most TNCs rooted in home country Location of majority of assets Management board dominated by home nationals Finance largely raised in home country
28 Globalisation, MNCs and International transfer of practice Globalisation as a process which has led to regime competition between national capitalisms TNCs as proxies in the competition between highly regulated and highly deregulated systems (of employment relations) Do multinationals act as vehicles for transmitting HR/IR practices from the parent country.. to the host countries in which they operate, or do they attempt to drop what they see as the constraining elements of their business systems once they leave their own borders? (Ferner, 1997:20)
