Introduction to Human Resource Management2IntroductionHuman resource management involves setting up of formal systems which enable management of people within any organization (Inc., 2017). It is the one of the most essential systems that is required to be in place for effective functioning of any organization. In fact it is often observed that organizations are unable to hire proper leaders. In the United States of America, a study reports that 75% of employees believe that their direct manager is the worst aspect of their job (Harvard Business Review, 2017). Presently, many firms understand the increasing importance of their human resource, but only few are conceptualizing them in strategic terms (MacMillan & Schuler, 2006).In the given case study the author is throwing light on various issues faced by Jennifer after being recruited as Director of human resources at BBD Inc. BBD Inc. is a Chinese firm with its wholly owned subsidiary in Australia. It was established as a joint stock ltd. As the case states, BBD is a leading metals and mining company in China with large capital reserves, 10 branches and 12 wholly owned subsidiaries. The organization has passed all international standard requirements and has kept its quality in check.Upon joining, Jennifer is facing various issues for reasons like increasing Sino phobia in Australia, strict government rules pertaining to foreign investments, cultural differences in the organization and interference by top management in administrative recruitment. This report seeks to answer four questions as follows:BBD Inc.’s corporate strategy that can be linked to its HR functions:1.Recruiting only from Australia: It is often noticed in the case that there are numerous culture differences appearing between Australian employees at BBD Inc. and their Chinese counterparts. In order to, overcome those differences, it is rather advisable to recruit locally as not only can such employees remove those differences but also they have better and varied knowledge of the local ethos and markets which will be an added advantage for the firm. According to Forbes, vetting of local candidates is comparatively easier and less time consuming.2.Marketing recruitment in Australia: It is observed in the case that students and recruitment consultants are not well aware of BBD Inc. and hence don’t prefer to work
