Conclusion

In conclusion, I have learned quite lots of knowledge about Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in this few weeks of lectures which some I don’t even heard about before.

In week 1 of lectures, I understand that HRIS is the integrated system used to gather, store and analyze information about organization’s human resource.  HRIS helps an organization to improve the hiring process, quality of the workers hired and quality of the organization as a whole.

In week 2 of lectures, I have learned that a business must develop suitable strategies to counter competitive forces in order to succeed. There are five competitive strategies which are cost leadership, differentiation strategy, innovation strategy, growth strategy and alliance strategy. By studying all these strategies, I found that different products, different markets and different timing will need different type of strategies to overcome the forces. For example, global markets such as Dominos Pizza have to use growth strategy to diversify into new products or service.

In the week 3 and week 4 of lectures, I have got the knowledge about four different types of HRIS models which are multinational model, global model, international model and transnational model. In my opinion, I think that transnational model is the most wide and most effective model among the four HRIS models. This is because transnational is the combination of multinational model, global model and international model which including centralized and decentralized operations. It acts as resources distributors that facilitate knowledge sharing among different operational units.

In future lectures, I hope that I can learn further knowledge about HRIS so that I will be able to use all these knowledge in order to be an effective human resource practitioner in the future.
