Assalamualaikum ;)

Hola! For this topic, I will explain about GLOBALISING HRIS. Globalizing? About borderless world and advanced technology. Now, the company is easier to expand his empire into the international market due to the availability of technology. According Marrisson (2005), globalization is a key factor in influencing the organization is able to provide competitive and improve the company's performance, innovation and quality while providing the best service to customers. According to Ishak Shari (2000), “states that globalization is a multidimensional phenomenon that encompasses various fields such as economy, politics, ideology, culture and so on, and it is considered as a process of significant changes to the field.” With use internet in relation, world look smaller especially in business. 

There are four types of model in order to globalize their systems: 

        I.            Multinasional model.

In this model, an organization that would like to practice Human Resource Information System (HRIS) need to consider the differences between the needs of local and regional information. Organizations also need to know about your needs and requirements to other relevant organizations. For example, if a large company who wants to provide services to other companies, so they should make sure that they were good company to be associated with them channel their products based on their needs vary.

      II.            Global model.

- Global models have characteristics similar to the Model International but more integrated model of International operations worldwide through offices based in a country or a place. Bohlander & Snell, (2007). This model is adopted and manage the Human Resources Information System (HRIS) to build a consistent system so that all organizations can adopt the system.

    III.            International model

- According to Bohlander & Snell, (2007) International models using existing core competencies to expand into foreign markets. International model can be defined as learning through leveraging worldwide innovation and knowledge sharing. For example, an organization has a system that cares for local and regional differences, but at the same time, the system can be used for all.

    IV.            Transnational model

- A commercial enterprise that operates substantial facilities, does business in more than one country and does not consider any particular country its national home. One of the significant dvantages of a transnational company is that they are able to maintain a greater degree of responsiveness to the local markets where they maintain facilities.

-Transnational model is the new model which is the combination of multinational model, global model and international model.

How we know the model are appropriate to organization? This is based on the three needs of critical components where that influence them to choose the right model.

• Global efficiency.
• Local flexibility.
• Innovation and sharing information.

Globalization is crucial for a business entity. Wide network worldwide can be controlled easily with the internet is unpredictable and can directly reduce the cost of travel and control. Information sharing can also be done effectively and accurately.
