Additional Information: The briefing to
John and the board of directors was a success. You and Shawn believe that it
allowed them to understand the challenges associated with managing global human
capital effectively and the value of recognizing human capital as a critical
part of AGC’s strategic plan. John and the board of directors gave every
indication that they understood the sense of urgency needed to align the key
global human capital goals with those established for the entire global
organization. In fact, they asked you to move ahead with developing global
human capital goals for AGC as part of its strategic plan.
You will begin by evaluating the existing organizational culture and analyzing
the leadership styles used at each global AGC subsidiary. The company has
several global subsidiaries, each with significant cultural differences.
Shawn believes that AGC would benefit from an organizational culture that is
more proactive and competitive. Likewise, he believes that leadership
development programs should focus on styles that recognize the importance of
celebrating diversity, empowerment, and innovation.
Review the AGC scenario for this course and discuss the following with your
peers:
Using AGC as an example, what human capital management problems can
arise when an organization does not acknowledge cultural differences at
its global subsidiaries?
How can leadership styles effect global organizational culture?
Describe a human capital management goal that Shawn can recommend to
change the global organizational culture of AGC.
