Essay
Your essay will adopt a position, either agreeing with, or disagreeing with, the given statement.
You will be required to conduct independent research to find evidence that supports the position you have adopted.
While most of this supporting evidence should be drawn from peer-reviewed academic journal articles, evidence can also be drawn from other sources where necessary, such as textbooks, magazine articles, websites, company reports, and media releases.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has offered new opportunities for MNEs to be more successful on an international scale"
You should carefully consider this statement, along with the various concepts referred to within the question.
Demonstrating a clear understanding of unit-specific concepts is a key part of the assessment criteria.
The content discussed in Weeks 1-4 and over the workshops will help you to better understand the impact of The COVID-19 pandemic on MNEs.
The concepts discussed in Weeks 1-4 will be the most valuable to you in terms of the essay, as the focus of the essay is on IHRM decisions/issues for MNEs. You should ensure that you have a very clear understanding of the concepts discussed over the weeks including the workshops.
In particular, you should consider the COVID-19 pandemic issues that drive standardisation and localisation for MNEs to be more successful.
Remember to show that you understand the terms you are discussing by including definitions and examples where necessary.
The content discussed in Weeks 2 and 4 will help you to better understand what it takes for MNEs to be successful.
Week 2 discusses the cultural context, which should be considered when deciding how to approach HR decisions, and will have a significant impact on an organisation's success.
Week 4 discusses IHRM in the context of mergers and alliances, but also discusses barriers to international markets for SMEs, which may be relevant when considering success of MNEs.
The content discussed in Week 1 (and all other weeks) will help you to better understand the International Context:
Week 1 provides some overview of the international context for organisations, and introduces some concepts that may be useful for your essay.
Some key terms and concepts from this week that you may use in your essay include: Host/Parent/Other Country Nationals; The MNE Industry Type Continuum; and global integration vs. local responsiveness
