IHRM 2Introduction:‘XYZ’ is the company that operates in fashion industry and a big manufacturer of fashionablefootwear for men and women. It is the firm that is very much established in Singapore and wantsto enter the new market of China in order in order to expand the business overseas. As thecompany wants to send 10 of its employees to manage the operation in China’s subsidiary, it isrequired to analyse the different trends of that country so that proper training can be given to theexpatriates. Examining the various aspects of international human resource management can helpthe company to have successful operation overseas (Harzing and Pinnington, 2010). Background analysis of China:China is the country that falls under the category of ‘developing country’. It is considered as themost populous country with approximate 1.404 billion people living there. Thus, it is a potentialmarket for the company to explore (Chen and Aryee, 2007). It is one of the members of WTOand has largest trading power. The value of international trade of the county is around US$ 3.87trillion in 2012. World’s second highest billionaires are from China only and thus the averagepurchasing power of the people here is also good. Country has 56 ethnic groups and Han Chineseis largest in number (Chen and Aryee, 2007). Detailed analysis of the country can be done byusing Hofstede analysis.

Ithas been analysed that if a companies like ‘XYZ’ has to go overseas than it has to examine thestructure and cultural values of the Chinese organisation and have to change their own structureas per the culture of China. As per the discussion of Hofstede model, it has been examined thatSingapore and China are somewhat similar in almost all the dimensions (Adler and Gundersen,2007). Thus, it can be concluded that XYZ dies not need to make more changes in context oftheir policies and stricture of the organisation. As far as the organisational structure of the companies are considered, it has been analysed thatChina is the country where the organisations are too much centralised and there is unequaldistribution of power which is accepted by all.

Singapore also shows somewhat similar characteristics in terms of organisation structure.Centralisation of the organisations is very common and here also the employees who work atlower level are not allowed to give their opinions in decision making (Schein, 2010).
