Global business and global working
International mobility of human resources as a tool to help companies grow
International business culture moves with the mobility of people. In an increasingly interconnected world of work, companies often need to send or attract managers and technicians from abroad, often at short notice. This can turn work into an opportunity for collaboration and vice versa. This is the theme of ‘Talenti internazionali. Strategie e strumenti di global mobility’ (International talent. Global mobility strategies and tools), written by Andrea Benigni and intended for companies grappling with the international mobility of personnel for various reasons. However, a closer look reveals that this can actually be a strategic lever for the competitiveness of production organisations.
How? Benigni attempts to answer the question by looking at how production culture and business organisation interact. Alongside traditional engagement formulas, new solutions have been introduced, such as international smart working, now making global mobility accessible even to smaller companies. However, not everything is as simple as it seems, because, as the book explains, the management of expats, particularly managers and technical staff, is still an area that is often overlooked or approached in a fragmented way, despite having significant economic, organisational and management impacts.
The book was therefore written to raise awareness and provide those involved in human resources and business internationalisation with a clear, practical and accessible guide on how to link the choice of organisational structure to the company’s objectives. Readers are guided along a structured path that covers all the key aspects of employee mobility: from organisational models and remuneration policies for foreign countries to fiscal neutrality, social security, legal planning and the evaluation of expat performance. The text uses direct language and a series of examples to explain everything.
Andrea Benigni’s book is not a universal guide to business organisation, but it effectively addresses a point that could become crucial for many businesses.
