After I have learnt this topic of globalization of HRIS, I know little bit of what actually happen in globalization of HRIS. Actually I feel challenge learning this topic compare with the previous topic and this topic I think it quite difficult to understand, but I like this challenge because I can explore and gain more knowledge pertaining to the application on HRIS in local as well as across the border. After the more explanation by Dr. NurNaha last Wednesday, I got the picture and direction of this topic. I am very happy with that. The emergence of HRIS models is due to some factors such increasing globalization and accelerating change in the international business environment as well as the complexity of inter-organizational relationships between companies and their stakeholders. As I have learnt, there are four models of HRIS which are multinational, global, international, and lastly towards the comprehensive transnational model of HRIS. Each of the models has their own strength and weaknesses. Besides that, the organization will drive by three strategic needs in order to choosing of each model.

           

Strategic needs:

1.      The need for responsiveness through local differentiation

2.      The need for efficiency through global integration and

3.      The need for learning through leveraging worldwide innovation and knowledge sharing.

In order toward the new transnational model, the transnational model emphasizes three critical component which are innovation or sharing, global efficiency, and local flexibility. I think the transnational model is the good and effective model in order to managing and implement HRIS. The difference among the HRIS models is the technological architecture of the systems they use which include data warehouse model, single integrated system model, and standalone system model. I also learnt about the HR (Human Resource) service delivery model. Actually the information gathered in this reflection will help me in my future job in this field. InsyaAllah.
