Globalizing HRIS: The New Transnational Model

For this entry I have prepared an important element that include in HRIS subject. Without these elements, the system cannot be operating systematically. So, we will be discussing about HRIS Model. The selection of the model is based on three different strategic needs as shown below:

Ø The need for responsiveness through local differentiation

Ø The need for efficiency through global integration

Ø The need for learning through leveraging worldwide innovation and knowledge sharing

According to the different strategic needs, one huge model have been developed in order to make sure that system used can be used based on the need and availability of the organization. The model called as Transformational Model. In the Transnational System, there are three main models that can be selected in operating the program which is Model Multinational, Global Model, and International Model.

What is Model Multinational ?

This model takes a responsive approach to implementing and managing HRIS by being sensitive to local regional differences. This model less focused on centralized corporate direction. This type of organizational model can be suitable for large company. The disadvantage of this model is it can cause the multi-headed leaders which can contribute to chaos towards the organization.

What is Global Model ?

This model takes efficiency approach to implementing and managing HRIS by building a single, standardized centralized system. In this model, most of strategic assets, resources, responsibilities and decision making are centralized. It is focusing on a single standardized organization within a uniform operating environment.

What is International Model ?

This model takes learning and sharing approach to implementing and managing HRIS by transferring and adapting knowledge and expertise to local organization while continuing to retain considerable influence and control over the local organization. It means that international model function as balancing between local autonomy and the central objective.

Three models that had been discussed above are basic model of Transnational System. The transnational system consist of three components which is global efficiency, local flexibility and innovation/sharing. Then, all this three components are function to make up more systematically system of Transnational. It will react as a whole system and will function based on the need of the organization involved. 

As a conclusion, the model suits according to the need of the company and the situational condition faced by the meantime. As I had remember my Organizational Development lecturer says that there are no best ways to solve the problems. Same goes to these three models. There is no best model but it based on the condition of the organization.
