  11. Discussion Questions In the section on the volatility of the global environment, several world events were listed that have had profound implications for the global and local strategies of MNEs. Select a recent world event, identify the specific HR implications that may arise from this, and devise policies as to how these may be handled. Discuss the major factors associated with appraisal of expatriate managerial performance. ‘One of the dangers of performance appraisal is that, because the focus is so much on a particular individual, the teamwork aspect gets lost. In an international location, it is perhaps desirable to focus more on how the PCN has settled in and is operating as part of a team rather than as an individual at the possible detriment of the team.’ Do you agree with this statement? Why is it important to include hard, soft and contextual goals when assessing managerial performance? In what ways would the role of a manager working in a non-standard international assignment differ from that of a typical expatriate manager? 11 IHRM Chapter 11
