For the week $5$ discussion, I$\text{'}$d like you to consider the importance of HR

management in light of globalization, from your reading, in addition to outside

research, why do you feel HR is so important for global companies? What

important skills do HR professionals need t$$ have in order to adequately address

the needs of a global workforce? With regard to the country you are researching,

what challenges would a United States$-$born individual face working with

members of that country or working in that country $($as an ex$-$patriate$)?$ How do

HR strategies help employees overcome these challenges? All sources for

information must be cited at the bottom of your discussion post in APA format.

You must post your initial discussion thread by Wednesday, September $25$ at

$11$:$59$ p$.$m$.$ You must respond to two of your classmates' posts by Saturday,

September $28$ at $11$:$59$ p$.$m$.$

Your response posts need to show that you have read their initial post and that

you are critically analyzing their post. Simply posting "I agree," or "nice work" will

not get you full credit for participating.
