Assignment 3: LASA 1: Overseas Assignments, Acquisitions and Integration

BANKS Industries is a manufacturing company located in Centervale. A U.S.-based organization, BANKS’s major product line is electronics components. BANKS has just over 200 employees at their main plant in Centervale, but has recently acquired a new subsidiary in China. This acquisition adds close to 100 employees and their expertise in a new line of personal computing devices. BANKS expects these devices to give them a competitive advantage in their market.

BANKS started out as a family-owned organization that has a relatively flat organizational structure. After 15 years of being in business, BANKS continues to be family-owned and has acquired several small companies in the U.S. The acquisition of the Chinese company, which has now been renamed BANKS Components, is the first acquisition outside U.S. borders.

At this point, the acquisition is official and the company is in the process of taking over the operations of the plant in China. All employees have been retained, although turnover and some expansion are anticipated in the near future. Employees in both locations are feeling uneasy regarding potential changes, and some reorganization is going to be necessary. During the acquisition, some key employees of the Chinese company left the organization out of fear that their positions would be eliminated. This has left some upper management and director-level positions vacant, adding to the challenges that BANKS is currently facing.

As the HR manager, you report directly to the owner-president of BANKS Industries. You have a relatively small staff working under you, leaving you to make the majority of the HR recommendations and decisions on your own. You have been charged with identifying some of the challenges and issues in this new endeavor, making recommendations for action, working with employees, and several other tasks related to the acquisition.

Overseas Assignments, Acquisition & Integration

Consider the challenges of posting U.S. employees to overseas locations. You will develop a 25 – 30 slide presentation to make recommendations on the HR-related challenges. The PowerPoint presentation should include a title slide as well as a slide with references in APA format. A minimum of five scholarly references should be used, which may include direct reference to relevant laws and research. Be brief and professional on your slides, but use the notes feature to go into more detail regarding the topics. Consider your audience, so be sure that your text and background has enough contrast, that you limit animations and other distractions, and use graphs and tables where appropriate. Address the following in your presentation:

  • Identify and explain anticipated challenges and at least three common reasons why overseas assignments might fail.
  • Propose solutions for each of the reasons you identified.
  • Recommend special training for the employees going to China to increase their chance of success, including your justification for your recommendations citing scholarly references.
  • Determine how to select and train the acquired employees. Will you need to terminate some employees and hire replacements?
  • Identify challenges of integrating employees and issues which might create conflict.
  • Prepare the selection, retention, and separation plans.
  • Develop the new organization infrastructure; that is, the organizational chart
  • Address the different employment laws in each country.

“Outcomes: What Will You Do Differently?”  Please respond to the following:

 

  • Propose two (2) ways in which you will use the fundamental concepts from this course to analyze the behavior of the people in the workplace.  Explain in detail how your proposal will help an organization navigate the challenges associated with human behavior in an organization
  • Outline an employee motivational plan for your current employer or former employer. Provide a rationale for your response.

 

PART 2 PLEASE RESPOND AND COMENT TO THIS DISCUSSION NO LESS THE 175 WORDS BASE ON 1 CREDIBLE RESORCE

 

 

The two ways that I will use the fundamental concepts from this course to analyze the behavior of the people in the workplace is by providing feedback to leadership and being more proactive in the workplace. I have been employed with my financial institution for over five years.  Therefore, I am very familiar with the management team.  Providing feedback to my supervisors enables them to provide better training to staff; especially newer staff.  It also allows them to implement better motivational strategies for the department.    I also feel that being more proactive in the workplace encourages others to accept change better due to the positive attitude expressed. It also encourages staff for going above and beyond in the workplace.

 

An employee motivational plan that is used within my current employer is PTO (Paid Time Off).  In addition to the PTO that is given to employees upon being hired, additional PTO is given to employees for outstanding performance done in the work place.  For instance, per month, a raffle is conducted.  In order to enter the raffle, a referral must be done.  The more referrals an employee does, the higher the chances for them winning.    Generally, the PTO that is awarded ranges from 2-10 hours.  In my opinion, this is a great motivational plan.  The additional time off may be used for anything that employee desires; whether it’s additional vacation time, sick time, or simply for resting

Cognative Psycholgy

My particular area of interest in cognitive psychology is attention and memory. One great topic that can be drawn from these two is the process of information processing. When a person is attending to an activity selectively, they tend to ignore other stimuli although their attention can be distracted by something else such as a mention of your name or the ringing of a phone. Attention is wide and psychologists focus their interest on what makes a person attend to one thing and not the other , why people  at times switch to other things that were earlier unattended and the number of things that a person can attend to at a particular time. Memory comes in two types, the short term and the long term memory. Short term memory or working memory is the capability of remembering something when distracted (Cowan, 1995).

Attention and memory can be applied in education and mental health respectively. In education, attention is vital as students need to pay attention to their tutors so that they can understand the concept of what they are being taught. They also need attention even in their personal studying. Memory becomes much applicable when health is involved. Many people do not realize that they have problems with their memory not until they visit a doctor and diagnose them with a problem.

The contemporary problems that relates to attention and memory in education and mental health are lack of concentration and memory loss. Some people have difficulties paying attention to what they are doing and in this particular case student in school not being able to concentrate in their studies and when the teacher is teaching. Memory loss is a medical condition that normally affects the elderly or people in depression.

Some of the potential research questions include:

  1. What can teachers and students do to boost the level of attention in classrooms?
  2. How people are with memories handled in care centers and what does the family members of victims need to know when taking care of their loved ones?
  3. What is the relationship between attention and memory?
