Explain the process of organizational development in mnc companies with example
Answers
China’s rapidly growing and maturing market has sparked the transformation of multinational corporations’ China recruiting strategies. These strategies have evolved from the former reliance on expatriates, to third-country nationals, then to local talent (meaning those professionals without overseas education and work experience). Currently, most director-level positions are staffed with local talent and a few have even broken into executive ranks such as Country Manager and/or business unit heads with P&L responsibilities.
Whilst there has been tremendous progress, experienced business leaders are sensing ‘trouble brewing’ in recruiting, developing and retaining top local talent in China. In addition, many of the indigenous, home-grown managers (those without overseas education and work experience) are also feeling frustrated about the future growth of their careers within multinational corporations (MNCs).
The process of environmental development can be categorized into five steps:
1. Data collection: Surveys may be made to determine the organizational climate and behavior problems of the employees.
The consultant usually meets with groups away for work to develop information from the questions some of which are given below:
a. What would you most like to change in the way this organization works?
b. What kinds of conditions interfere with your job effectiveness?
c. What kind of conditions contribute most to your job effectiveness?
2. Data feedback and confrontation: Work groups are assigned to review the data collected, to medicate areas of disagreement, and to establish priorities for change.
3. Action planning and problem solving: Groups use the data to develop specific recommendations for change. Discussion focuses on actual problem in the organization.
4. Use of intentions: On the completion of the planning, consultant helps the participants to select and use appropriate organisational development interventions.
5. Evaluation and follow up: The consultant helps the organization evaluate the results and develop additional programs in areas where additional results are needed.
