Issues concerning management of people-
 Lack of efficiency- Lack of efficiency can create an impact on the organizations (Dezi
and et.al., 2018). This can affect people as it can lead towards problems and issues for the
organization. BMW's efficiency in production can be impacted if its workers do not
perform well.

production. Thus this may lead towards problems and issues for the firm. In the context
of BMW this can lead towards an impact on the overall level of production if the workers
are not effective in their work.

out properly then this may affect the organizations. Therefore, In BMW this may impact
the performance level of the workers.

implementing a change in the overall processes. Thus, In the context of BMW this create
an impact on the functioning.
BMW conveys an image of a luxury brand. This is so because its cars are expensive and offer
superior quality to the various customers in the market. For delivering the image of a luxury
brand there is an expectation from the workers that they are able to enhance their overall
1

efficiency and effectiveness so that they can contribute towards organizational success. The
different HRM practices which can encourage this are as follows-
 Incentives- If the employees are offered incentives for their good performance then it can
naturally lead towards enhancement of their level of productivity (Klun and Trkman,
2018). Therefore in the context of BMW the use of this HRM practice may encourage the
workers to contribute towards the success of the company.
 Skill development- When the workers are given skill development training then this can
help them a lot in working in the right manner towards the achievement of higher-level of
efficiency and effectiveness (Lim and et.al., 2017). Thus in this way the production can
be made even more better. In BMW the use of this HRM practice may provide an
opportunity to the employees to contribute towards their best in a highly effective
manner.
An increase in overseas production may affect the HRM policies of BMW. This is so
because of the following reasons-
 Changes in the organization- Changes in the organization have to brought regularly so
that the overall level of efficiency and effectiveness can be enhanced in the right manner
(Linnenluecke, 2017). In the context of BMW it is quite important that these type of
changes are implemented quickly which will help the firm a lot in ensuring that its level
of overseas production is improved in the right manner. However this will create an
impact on the HRM policies for the employees.
 Strict performance reviews- Strict performance reviews are required when the
production is expected at a certain standard (Meidan and et.al., 2017). In BMW, it is very
important that these reviews are carried out in the right manner so that the cars which are
being produced meet the set criteria. Therefore an increase in overseas production will
see the more strict performance reviews being used to ensure that the production of the
cars is according to the desired standards. This will help in raising the overall bar of
efficiency and effectiveness in the right manner.
