External and Internal Factors

[Pin It]

International teams can be difficult to coordinate. In order to successfully utilize international teams of employees, managers must consider variables that include everything from technical challenges, such as communication methods and time differences to complex issues such as communication style, language barriers, and cultural differences.

Imagine you work for a US-based firm and are partnering with a team of workers stationed in a progressive Middle Eastern country. The team’s purpose is to develop a modern marketing campaign for a financial services customer. Their goals include completing the campaign design on time, satisfying the customer, and integrating the expertise represented by employees in each country to deliver a quality product to the client. The team is on a strict deadline and reputations and bonuses are at stake.

In this country, there is very little separation between a workers religious beliefs, family, and work. Your team is on a strict deadline, and bonuses are at stake. The local employees take a midday break for two hours for prayers every day. Friday is a religious holiday, which begins at sundown on Thursday and continues through Friday. Saturday is considered a regular day off and they do work on Sunday. The project is due on Monday morning, and the other employees are resentful for having to work overtime.

Using your textbook and the online library resources, examine the key mechanisms of global integration and their implications for an organization and its HRM practices. Do the following:

List the company’s precise goals and objectives in relation to this project. (You may make assumptions based on the general goals stated for the team.)
Identify internal (organizational) and external factors impacting each goal or objective.

Application: Evaluating an Addictions Assessment Tool

Addictions professionals can choose from many types of tools. Addictions assessments are divided into screening and assessment tools. Addictions screening tools are meant to determine if an addiction might be a possibility; they are not intended to diagnose. Addictions professionals use them to gain a basic idea of an individual’s orientation to an addiction. Addictions assessment tools are typically geared toward detecting dependence on or addiction to a specific, identified substance or behavior. These tools are broader in scope and often take special training and considerable time to administer.

The difficulty often is not in finding a tool to use with a client, but rather in choosing the most effective and appropriate tool from a wide variety. Though choices of screening and assessment tools is often made by the organization in which an addictions professional works, many considerations including cost, time to administer, training, and accuracy enter into the selection of the right test for each individual with a potential substance or process addiction. Thus, it is important that addictions professionals be familiar with the tools available to them and understands the effectiveness of these tools in assessing what they are intended to assess.

In this Assignment, you select one assessment tool from several well-known addictions assessment tools and research and provide an evaluation of its purpose, administration, and efficacy.

To prepare:

Review the Learning Resources, including the following:

“Brief Intervention in College Settings”
“Ethics in Psychological Assessment”
“Assessing Addiction: Concepts and Instruments”

Assignment Directions:

Select one of the following assessment tools, found in this week’s Learning Resources:

Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-3
The Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test
The Addiction Severity Index

Research and select two articles of your choice on your chosen addictions assessment tool.

Submit by Day 7 a 2- to 4-page critique of the addictions assessment tool you chose. Include the following:

Brief purpose of the assessment
Reliability of the assessment
Validity of the assessment
Type of normative data the assessment assesses
Time of administration
Cost
Reading level, if known
Any special administration considerations (e.g., need for a computer or special training)

Benefits and limitations
Overall utility of the test in an addictions assessment
