Reflection IV - Transnational HRIS

There are three technological architectures which are standalone systems, data warehouse model and single integrated system model.  According to Beaman (2004), standalone system runs its own independent systems which identify multinational model that is ultimately localized and highly decentralized. It consist lots of independent local business unites and only little control at the center. Data warehouse model is identifying international model that is focused on sharing. This model takes learning and sharing approach, it integrates the innovation that adopts from local business unit into global business model, then roll back throughout the organization. Single integrated system model has only one instance of the database that identify global model that is highly centralized and standardized which minimizes the needs of the local business units (Beaman, 2004).

 Besides that, there are three HR service delivery model which are global services, regional services and local services. For global level, the HR activities perform in globally and it is suit to executive management and stock allocation.  This is because for an organization, there was only one group of executive management no matter where the branches are. Stock allocation also need to manage in global level because  the headquarter need to know how many stock they have and which branches have shortage of stock and which branches have more, then the headquarter need to balance it. For management development training, workplace communication and increment compensation, these activities need to implement in regional level due to different culture, background and language of employees in different regional. Local level handles the activities such as recruitment, employee development, team building and other activities even when there is conflict occur among employee and supervisor. When the conflict occur, it was unreasonable handle by headquarter which unknown the real situation.
