Influences on Human Resources

The human resources companies also go global. Thus emerges the figure of "expatriates," those executives within a corporation, due to its successful work, are sent to offices in other countries to put into practice his experience there. It sometimes happens because the seat has a problem, or because the corporate requirements of the company require certain positions (usually the management or general office, and / or finance), but it can be like learning market local companies abroad.

However, the exchange of executives, not always effective, especially for those more sensitive areas such as marketing, since each country has differential cultural characteristics that require particular knowledge in order to set strategies successful. Less sensitive areas, are the technical, manufacturing for example, where the contrary, the industry can be enhanced by national international standards of quality and production. This is the overall result of the emergence of the so-called globalisation (Mayer, 2009, 169-75) .

migration (the "expatriate" of which we spoke)

The travel and international meetings (required for communications between agencies of different countries)

relations and organizations interstate (ie, between certain agencies in different states)

Cultural Influences of Globalization

Globalization produces a kind of close union between countries and even between people of different countries, as never seen before. On the other hand, we witness the resurgence of nationalism of all kinds: ethnic, religious, cultural, as we see happening in Europe: Ireland, Yugoslavia, Scotland, the Basque country, etc. While the rest of the world is looking to unify, they just want their independence. In the economic field we observe the trend towards consolidation of a kind of global market, but at the same time many countries (just the most developed countries) take protectionist measures, especially to other blocks.
