Welcome to Week 8, Ethics, Security, and Terrorism in IHRM
The complexity of international human resources management suggests the organization should meet the constituency needs and be responsible on ethics issues. So, it is necessary to analyze the ethical and social responsibility issues that arise in IHRM practices.
Managers involved in international business activities face many of the some of the same ethical issues as those in domestic business, but the issues are made more complex because of the different environment.
Since 9/11, organizations have been concerned with Homeland security war on local and international terrorism and destruction from natural disasters to kidnapping threats, to the employee privacy act. Organizations (MNCs) must be better prepared to address the full range of threats that expatriates working globally may face.
IHRM is responsible for recruiting good employees on an international level, as many employees came from different countries and different cultures. So, that their thinking level and behaviors may be very different from the local staff. This becomes a challenge for the IHRM practices to manage the human resource, where training and measures must be set in place.
