To answer these questions and further investigate the process of globalization and the stages of global development for human resources and human resource systems, Jeitosa Group International, in conjunction with the International Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM) association, conducted the second annual Going Global Readiness Survey. The survey consists of a broad range of questions, covering business strategy and organizational design, as well as the people, process, and technology aspects that must be considered when going global. This report presents the findings from the 2009 survey utilizing Jeitosa’s strategic global business framework to uncover leading global practices from the best performing organizations.
