Globalization and human resource development• Globalization is a non-stop economic process. • Under going globalization process the necessity to investigate global human resource
development and its differences from domestic human resource development appears.
• Looking specifically at economic globalization, it can be measured in different ways. These centre on the four main economic flows that characterize globalization:
1. Goods and services (exports plus imports as a proportion of national income or per capita of population);
2. Capital (inward or outward direct investment as a proportion of national income or per head of population);
3. Technology (international research and development flows; proportion of populations (and rates of change thereof) using particular inventions (especially 'factor-neutral' technological advances such as the telephone, motorcar, broadband);
4. Labour/people (net migration rates; inward or outward migration flows, weighted by population).

DEFINITION OF GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
• According to McClean (2001), Bates (2003), Marquardt and Berger (2003), the HRD must include not only economic development and workplace learning, but it must also be committed to the political, social, environmental, cultural, and spiritual development of people around the world.
• Wang and McLean (2007) suggest such definition of international HRD: International HRD (also known, perhaps more appropriately, as cross-national HRD, transnational HRD, and global HRD) is a field of study and practice that focuses on for-profit, not-for-profit, and/or governmental entities and individuals cooperating in some form across national borders.

Difference between domestic and global human resource development
• Domestic and global human resource development has some basic differences, which we could classify as political economic and cultural environment. Culture is very important in working with people and developing them. So it is very important to pay attention to such factors as language, cross-cultural communication, religion, family, class structure, geography and history. Therefore, in this situation as Marquardt, Berger and Loan (2004) suggest, domestic--traditional human resource development programs should be acculturized--adapted and modified to the target audience. New EU countries should pay attention to this possibility and to learn how to provide correct acullturization to reach company's goals.

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF GLOBALIZATION• Negative aspect • Increases inequality within and between nations, threatens
employment and living standards, and thwarts social progress (Berger, 2003)
• Possible threats (e.g. inequality within and between nations; famine, threat for employment and living standards or decline of social progress), which could be only under specific conditions and only in some countries (Kumpikaite and Sakalas, 2007).
• Globalization has already harmed the environment and can certainly threaten it more in the future.

• Positive impacts• A key to future world economic development• Inevitable and irreversible.• Globalization has made the world a better place, a world that will
eventually lead to economic prosperity, political freedom, and world peace. A globalized world is one in which there is a free movement of ideas, people, values, and systems across the globe. Globalization is a prime force for spreading knowledge and technology.
• Encouraging national and educational institutions to integrate environmental and developmental issues into existing training curricula and promote the exchange of their methodologies and evaluations.
• Encouraging all sectors of society, such as industry, universities, government officials and employees, and community organizations, to include an environmental management component in all relevant training activities, with emphasis on meeting immediate skill requirements through short-term formal and in-plant vocational and management training;

• Strengthening in-house environmental management training capacities;• Establishing specialized "training of trainers" programs to support training at
the national and enterprise levels;• Developing new training approaches for existing environmentally sound
practices that create employment opportunities and make maximum use of local resource--based methods;
• Supporting efforts to develop a service of locally trained and recruited environmental technicians able to provide local people and communities, particularly in deprived urban and rural areas, with the services they require, starting from primary environmental care;
• Preparing environment and development training resource guides with information on training programs, curricula, methodologies, and evaluation results at the local, national, regional, and international levels;
• Assisting governments, industry, trade unions, and consumers in promoting an understanding of the interrelationship between a healthy environment and sound business practices

Impact of globalization• Changes rates of unemployment• Success in a foreign training session-foreign language• The easy road of simply transposing a domestic
training program to international companies

HRD and HRM• The objective of human resource`s' development is to foster
human resourcefulness through enlightened and cohesive policies in education, training, health and employment at all levels, from corporate to national (J.E.S.Lawrence 2000)
• Human resource management's objective, on the other hand, is to maximize the return on investment from the organization's human capital and minimize financial risk. It is the responsibility of human resource managers in a corporate context to conduct these activities in an effective, legal, fair, and consistent manner

Early Training for Unskilled/Semiskilled Workers
• Mass production (Model T)– Semiskilled and unskilled workers– Production line – one task = one worker
• World War I– Retool & retrain– “Show, Tell, Do, Check” (OJT)

Organizational Structure of HRD Departments
• Depends on company size, industry and maturity
• No single structure used• Depends in large part on how well the HRD
manager becomes an institutional part of the company – i.e., a revenue contributor, not just a revenue user
