Continuing with your topic about the merging company created in paper assignment 1 (Mae-Leigh Resources (mine) and NCR= Mae-Leigh and NCR Resources), students are now required to write a paper analyzing performance management processes for their selected merged multinational corporations. Unlike the first assignment, I did not write a full paper. Rather, I provided guidelines that should be included in the paper. Like the first paper assignment, students should use the same writing format. Assignment 2 requires students to write about variables for effective performance management systems in their selected merging company. Students must select five (5) variables that make an effective performance management system for expatriates. Several of the variables are discussed in Chapter 6. In the paper, explain the importance of the elements in each variable and explain why those elements are important. The highlighted areas in the template are guidelines to help you get started with the assignment. The guide can be found in the Instructor Insight link located in the “My Professor” tab.

In an effort to evaluate and develop an effective expatriate performance management system in the previously selected multinational corporation, you will write an essay analyzing performance management processes in multinational corporations.

In 2–4 pages, your assignment must address the following:

• Provide citations and references from a minimum of three sources found on the Strayer databases at the Strayer library.

  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
