Abstract

An overall goal of improving global competitiveness is the imperative under which managers strategically guide their organizations today. Any process or function that enables organizations to gain a competitive advantage on a global scale is therefore considered valuable to those at the helm. Through our research on 60 of the world's top multinational organizations, we found that the effective management of the people side of global business does, in fact, pay dividends in stronger bottom lines.
