GLOBALIZATION ??????
The process by which different parts
of the world interact economically,
politically, and culturally.
What is Globalization?
• 'Globalization means when your e-mail account is full
with spam from countries you've never heard of...'
"Before this Global Warming, I never knew what
grass was."
The Definition of Globalisation
• Globalization - the 'big idea' of the late twentieth century lacks precise definition. More than this, it is in danger of
becoming, if it has not already become, the cliché of our
times.
• Nonetheless, the term globalization captures elements of a
widespread perception that there is a broadening, deepening
and speeding up of world-wide interconnectedness in all
aspects of life, from the cultural to the criminal, the financial
to the environmental.
• At issue appears to be 'a global shift'; that is, a world being
moulded, by economic and technological forces, into a shared
economic and political arena.
The Definition of Globalisation
• Globalization can usefully be conceived as a
process (or set of processes) which embodies
a transformation in the spatial organization of
social relations and transactions, generating
transcontinental or interregional flows and
networks of activity, interaction and power
The Definition of Globalisation
Globalisation can be defined as the
intensification of world-wide social
relations which link distant localities in
such a way that local happenings are
shaped by events occurring many miles
away and vice versa. (Anthony Giddens,
1990)
The Definition of Globalisation
Globalisation refers to all those
processes by which the peoples of
the world are incorporated into a
single world society, global society.
(Martin Albrow, 1990)
The Definition of Globalisation
• The world is becoming a global shopping mall in
which ideas and products are available
everywhere at the same time. (Rosabeth Moss
Kanter 1995)
• Globalisation is what we in the Third World have
for several centuries called colonisation. (Martin
Khor 1995)
The Definition of Globalisation
Globalisation refers to the process
whereby social relations acquire
relatively distanceless and borderless
qualities, so that human lives are
increasingly played out in the world as
a single place. (Jan Aart Scholte, 1997)
History of Globalization
• Sharing between world cultures began 1000s
of years ago.
• In the 19th century cultural sharing exploded.

The World Today
• This world is structured into three
tiers:
–Core Regions
–Semi-Peripheral Regions
–Peripheral Regions
Core: Dominate and control world-system
Core Regions
• Dominate world trade
• Control the most advanced technologies
• Have high levels of productivity and diversified
economies
• Characterized by the highest standards of
living
Triad of North America, EU, and Japan
Periphery: dependent trading relationships
Peripheral Regions
• “Slow World”
• Low levels of technology
• Underdeveloped or narrowly specialized
economies
• Low levels of productivity
• Low standards of living
Semi-periphery: In-between…
Semi-Periphery
• Able to exploit peripheral nations
• Exploited by core nations
• Once were peripheral but changed status
– The tiers are fluid
MSDM DAN
PERKEMBANGAN GLOBAL
o Globalisasi : kecenderungan perusahaan/organisasi
memperluas penjualan atau manufakturing mereka
ke pasar baru di luar negeri. Akibatnya
menimbulkan tren dunia kerja dlm aspek teknologi
yang melahirkan dunia jabatan dan
kerja.(Dessler,1997).
o Tantangan MSDM (Mathis dan Jackson,2006) :
Perubahan ekonomi dan teknologi; Ketersediaan
dan kualitas angkatan kerja; Pertumbuhan angkatan
kerja tidak tetap; Persoalan demografi;
Penyeimbangan pekerjaan/keluarga; Penyusunan
ulang organisasional dan merger/akuisisi
MSDM DAN PERUBAHAN GLOBAL
Tidak ada organisasi yang bergerak dalam keadaan
terisolasi. Tidak ada organisasi yang boleh
mengambil sikap tidak perduli terhadap apa yang
terjadi dalam lingkungan dimana ia bergerak
(Hasibuan, 2003).
Globalisasi mempengaruhi diri manajer dalam hal
keterampilan mengelola orang. Harus mampu
bekerja dengan orang dari budaya yang berbeda,
seperti :pada saat ditugaskan ditempat lain; di
negara sendiri (memahami budaya, gaya
manajemen, memodifikasi)
Perkembangan baru dalam manajemen personalia
dan SDM :keterbukaan,produktivitas, orientasi
sistem,efektivitas, strategi,

What is an expatriate?
 An employee who is working and temporarily
residing in a foreign country
• Some firms prefer to use the term “international
assignees”
• Expatriates are PCNs from the parent country operations,
TCNs transferred to either HQ or another subsidiary, and
HCNs transferred into the parent country
 Global flow of HR: more complexity in activities
and more involvement in employees' lives
