BUS-FPX4048 introduces HR management in multinational corporations, analyzing the global issues that shape HRM practice and the role culture plays in organizations that operate across borders. The assessment sequence moves from cultural intelligence and cross-cultural leadership through global talent management — often using case studies of real multinational companies. This guide covers what each assessment requires and how academic support for BUS-FPX4048 fits this culturally focused HR course. (Prerequisite: BUS-FPX3040.)
Course Overview
This course examines global issues affecting HRM practice in multinational organizations, with a particular focus on culture and its influence on management decisions. You'll analyze cultural intelligence and its role in managing diverse, dispersed teams, evaluate conflict resolution in multicultural settings, and assess talent management strategy — including mentorship and leadership development — for organizations operating internationally.

3Global Talent Management

How We Help With BUS-FPX4048
- Applying cultural intelligence (CQ) frameworks specifically rather than describing cultural awareness in general terms
- Grounding cross-cultural conflict analysis in concrete workplace scenarios with named cultural-dimension frameworks (Hofstede, GLOBE)
- Building global talent management analysis around a real, well-documented multinational company case
- Connecting mentorship and leadership-development recommendations directly to the cultural context analyzed earlier in the course
- APA 7 formatting and scholarly source integration across all assessments
Common Challenges in This Course
Students often lose points by discussing "cultural awareness" generally instead of applying a specific cultural intelligence or cultural-dimensions framework with cited support — this course expects named theoretical grounding, not impressions. Choosing a real, well-documented multinational company for the talent management assessment makes a significant difference, since vague or invented companies don't support the depth of analysis the rubric expects. It also helps to carry the same cultural-framework lens across all three assessments for a more cohesive analysis.
