Creating a habitat for the migrant manager
Article Abstract:
The globalization of business has led to frequent migration of managers. Their mobility has resulted to, and is simultaneously facilitated by, the unsuitability between people and jobs. This people-job mismatch is created by the lack of foresight among businesses to upgrade and retrain their employees. Thus, new policies are needed to provide further education of workers in the work environment itself. The resultant improved competence will create employability security which will provide the workforce the ability to perform required skills that are needed to enhance its future opportunities. Thus, a less constricting flow of human capital will be possible. The ensuing diversity of the workforce will require standardization of human resources management to ensure that movement of workers across boundaries will not be difficult.

What you should expect from consultants
Article Abstract:
Advice on selecting consultants is given in these areas: choosing large versus small consulting firms; establishing a consulting project, including objectives-setting and end-dates for project phases; defining to whom the consultant reports and how much authority to delegate to the consultant; assigning house personnel to the consultant for on-the-job training; outlining the company's organizational culture and environment; alerting company departments of the consultant's presence and activities; and deciding how long the consultant should be retained once the project is complete.
