Transnational HRIS

The next topic we had learned is transnational HRIS part 2 ‘HR Systems Architecture and Service Delivery and Model. There are 3 main model included in this system are Standalone system model, data warehouse model and single integrated model. From the picture provided, I can clearly understand how the models working and how the running systems of each model. According to Beaman (2004), standalone system runs its own independent systems which identify multinational model that is ultimately localized and highly decentralized. It consist lots of independent local business unites and only little control at the centre. Data warehouse is a model which focuses on sharing. This model takes learning and sharing approach, it integrates the innovation that adopts from local business unit into global business model, then roll back throughout the organization. The last model is single integrated model which have only one instance of the database that identify global model that is highly centralized and standardized which minimizes the needs of the local business units. Each model has their own advantages and also disadvantages. For example, standalone system model can run independently with each units but it was hard to collect data analysis because there is not standarlized format to collect data. Different types of company have to choose the different model to operating their company. I am also has been exposed to the HR activities which typically performed globally, regionally and locally. This is an interesting topic since it had taught us how the data generated and models that the data transfer around the world. I like this topic. Besides that, I like the teaching technique using by Dr. Nur Naha, with the discussion and some funny joke, it always attract my attention to class. Through the quiz for today, I gain the chances to review again what we had learned before and it was also refresh my mind to be more concentrate in class in order to perform better in the next quiz. Fortunately, I apply what I had learned during the class and won a small present from Dr. Nur Naha, I was so happy today, not for the present, but for self-satisfaction.
