, Introduction
This assignment examines GlobalEdge's competitive strategy, as detailed in the case
study, by analysing how their Human Resource (HR) practices contribute to their
success. It will explore the theoretical supporting of these practices, particularly the role
of International Human Resource Management (IHRM) in achieving global market
leadership. The analysis will also assess the advantages and difficulties of
implementing IHRM at GlobalEdge, proposing solutions to mitigate these challenges.
Further consideration will be given to the impact of HR technology on organisational
performance, including the potential risks associated with over-reliance and strategies
for risk management. All these elements will be examined throughout this assignment.
