Also, effective globalization calls for the pursuit of a number of management approaches that, on paper, may seem contradictory, but that can truly be effective only through their simultaneous and balanced application. Global human resource management provides an organized framework for developing and managing people who are comfortable with the strategic and operational paradoxes embedded in global organizations and who are capable of managing cultural diversity.HR Managementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09003174502672974470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-90146266676546357792011-01-06T18:32:46.224-05:002011-01-06T18:32:46.224-05:00There is a whole other aspect to globalization - t...There is a whole other aspect to globalization - the destruction of cultures that have evolved over thousands of years. The new materialism adopted by Western cultures and the technological society has a bunch of disadvantages that are being exported.<br /><br />To think that we Westerners with our big guns and phoney money know whats best after only existing for a few hundred years is absurd to say the least.<br /><br />Some people think the world is better off with different cultures that evolve separately yet learn from one anothers mistakes. Making one world culture could be (and currently is) one big cultural mistake - materialism and positivism are not good for anyone but the ruling elite classes. These lead to overall unhappiness and currently the need for individuals that identify themselves entirely by their occupation. <br /><br />Materialsm destroyed the ancient atomists, Marcus Arelius said its for commoners. Plato warned against it, Kant warned us against it. Strauss also doesn't like it as he spoke against it in Natural Right & History. <br /><br />We adopt it because its easy for commoners to understand - its a philosophy for the intellectually lazy and ultimately leads to the opposite of progress.Doug Plumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398407489022244485noreply@blogger.com
