A survey shows a strong correlation between financial performance and best practices for managing 온라인카지노 실시간 globally.

Managing 온라인카지노 실시간 in a global organization is more complex and demanding than it is in a national business—and few major worldwide corporations have risen to the challenge.
A McKinsey survey of managers at some of the world’s best-known multinationals covered a range of sectors and all the main geographies. Our findings suggest that the movement of employees between countries is still surprisingly limited and that many people tempted to relocate fear that doing so will damage their career prospects. Yet companies that can satisfy their global 온라인카지노 실시간 needs and overcome cultural and other silo-based barriers tend to outperform those that don’t.
We’ve long observed that global corporations grapple with a more difficult 온라인카지노 실시간 agenda than their domestic counterparts—partly because they need to share resources and knowledge across a number of business units and countries, partly because of the especially demanding nature of global leadership. To find out more, we undertook in-depth interviews with executives at 11 major global corporations and separately invited senior managers at 22 global companies to participate in an online survey investigating how effectively they manage their 온라인카지노 실시간. More than 450 people, ranging from CEOs and other directors to senior managers, including human-resources (HR) professionals, took part in the survey.
The responses confirmed impressions from the interviews that companies now struggle on a number of 온라인카지노 실시간-management fronts, such as achieving greater cultural diversity, overcoming barriers to international mobility, and establishing consistent HR processes in different geographical units.
Despite the value 온라인카지노 실시간 claim to place on international management experience, the senior managers who took the survey had made, on average, only 1.5 cross-border moves during their careers, as against an average of 2 for managers at the top-performing 온라인카지노 실시간. Interestingly, we found that the respondents had also moved, on average, 1.7 times between different divisions within the same geography but only 1.3 times between different functions—another sign that movement from silo to silo is still limited.
Participants cited several personal disincentives to global mobility, but one of the most significant was the expectation that employees would be demoted after repatriation to their home location. “Overseas experience is not taken seriously and not taken advantage of,” commented one senior manager. “Much valuable experience dissipates” because 온라인카지노 실시간 have a habit of “ignoring input from returnees, and many leave.” The quality of the support for mobility a company provides (for instance, assistance with housing and the logistical aspects of a move) also plays a decisive role in determining how positive or challenging an overseas assignment is for expatriates.
Perhaps the most provocative finding from the research was the relationship between financial performance, as measured by profit per employee,1and ten dimensions of global 온라인카지노 실시간 management. Companies scoring in the top third of the survey (when all ten dimensions were combined) earned significantly higher profit per employee than those in the bottom third (Exhibit 1). The correlations were particularly striking in three areas: the creation of globally consistent 온라인카지노 실시간 evaluation processes, the management of cultural diversity, and the mobility of global leaders. Companies achieving scores in the top third in any of these three areas had a 70 percent chance of achieving top-third financial performance (Exhibit 2). Companies scoring in the bottom third of the survey in these three areas had a significantly lower probability of being top performers, particularly if the company had inconsistent global 온라인카지노 실시간 processes. Although providing no evidence of true causality and lacking a longitudinal perspective, the strong associations between company financial performance and these global-온라인카지노 실시간-management practices strengthen our belief that these are important areas on which businesses and HR leaders should focus their attention.
