Transnational
HRIS model involve the organization structure of enterprise. According to
Bartlett and Ghoshall (1989) Transnational Model embodies many of Hock’s
chaordic principles and provides foundation of transitioning of global HR
organization to meet the challenges of the paradox. It also responsive to local
needs, cooperative for global activities, innovative to new ideas and flexible
to change. The Transnational Solution defined four basic structures or models
that organization manifest in their global development. They are multinational
organization, global organization, international organization and transnational
organization.
A multinational
organization structure is one that is highly
decentralized, consisting of numerous independent local business units and
little control at the center. This structure generally not much more than
financial oversight. Approaches
to strategy and planning in multinationals requires more effort due to more
complex organizational structures and market specific factors global companies
face. Corporate strategy must be “localized” to allow the business to
respond appropriately to geographic-based opportunities and threats. Likewise,
strategy development must include the involvement of the company’s foreign business
leaders to help the strategy be adapted correctly to local needs. Exactly how
this is done is dependent upon the type of structure the company has decided
best suits the organization (e.g. matrix, product, geography,
etc.).
A
global organization is one that
highly centralized and standardized, minimizing the needs of the local business
unit in favor of one single, uniform operating environment which is famous with
the “one-size-fit-all” approach. Accenture helped this global organization develop a comprehensive program
to change its corporate culture in order to support a renewed business strategy
to achieve high performance.
An
international organization, while
still largely centralized, takes a learning and sharing approach by adopting an
innovation from local business unit, integrating them into the global business
model and rolling them back out through the organization.
A
transnational organization is a
chaordic , network structure will no centralized “controlling” unit per se, but
with a well- defined set of organization “coordinating” and “cooperative”
process that govern how the organization function. Besides that, this type of
organization is “enabling” and “self-organizing” and exemplifying effectiveness without being
controlling and coercive. A
transnational strategy allows for the attainment of benefits inherent in both
global and multidomestic strategies. The overseas components are integrated
into the overall corporate structure across several dimensions, and each of the
components is empowered to become a source of specialized innovation. It is a
management approach in which an organization integrates its global business
activities through close cooperation and interdependence among its
headquarters, operations, and international subsidiaries, and its use of
appropriate global information technologies (Zwass, 1998).
