Performance Management Process
The figure shows the elements of a typical performance
management system and how these are related to each other.
The performance management system is an on-going process
that must first start with making clear statements on the
organizational goals and values based on which performance
management standards must be set to govern and direct
acceptable employee performance and behavior on the job.
Next, there must be a constant monitoring of employee
performance with formal performance appraisal feedback and
evaluation measures that ultimately should demonstrate the
achievement of the stated business results by leading to
organizational effectiveness and increasing employee growth.
Each phase of the performance management system is closely
connected to the other parts and the relationship between each
component is a dynamic relation implying that when one part
changes, the other parts also must change simultaneously.
Managers must pay close attention to setting clear performance
goals and appropriate job standards for employees with
consideration for differences in country and cultural
environments. In addition, it is important to understand that
performance management is a continuous process and to achieve
the desired results, employee standards must be assessed and
measured with appropriate assessment tools and feedback
mechanisms. HR managers must be responsible for assuring a

continuous and seamless operation of each phase of the
performance management system.

Factors in Global Performance Management
Content Author: Dr. Gyongyi (Georgine) Konyu-Fogel
Common approaches for global performance management
practices include upstream and downstream components that
must be carefully balanced in global human resource
management:


Upstream Approach
Global organizations must assure effective global integration
and coordination of their operations in order to facilitate global
competitiveness through organizational learning, cost-effective
performance standards, alignment of employees at all levels
with organizational goals and objectives, and managing
knowledge transfer across the organization at multiple locations
in multiple countries and in different cultures and foreign
country environments. This approach in strategy requires the
utilization of standard performance management practices
across the organization.
The advantage of the upstream approach is the ability of the
parent company to control the performance standards according
to a common established system. This approach is often cost
effective as the MNE may use the same policies, forms, and
performance evaluation methods regardless of the country of
operation’s practices. However, the downside of this approach
lies in the difficulties of using the standard practices of the
home country in foreign countries where the cultural and social
norms and behaviors are widely different from that of the home
country thus miscommunication and role conflicts may occur in
managing employee standards and performance management
expectations.
The upstream approach if accepted well in the organization
could help the company develop innovation and knowledge

transfer that in turn may contribute to increasing the
competitive advantage of the firm. The upstream performance
management approach may work well in cases when there is a
need to develop worldwide customer responsiveness or
consistency in customer service. Another example for this
approach may be the high tech industry where it is critical to
manage innovation and change through effective knowledge
management and the sharing of best practices in a learning
organization.
However, one of the important criteria in using the upstream
approach in performance management is the ability to establish
common core values, management priorities, organizational
capabilities, and performance-based expectations. This requires
that HR professionals achieve a high level of commitment
among employees, build trust and a strong organizational
culture for open communication, information sharing,
mentoring, and high quality performance standards.
Other important HR functions in upstream performance
management must include mentoring, continuous and on-going
feedback, constructive performance appraisal processes, and
multiple inputs across the organization on performance
management systems and making effective managerial decisions
in a timely manner with frequent interactions among employees
and management including both formal and informal controls
and behavioral modifications to improve individual and
organizational performance.

Downstream Approach
The downstream approach in performance management
considers developing strategies that address and respond to the
differences in foreign country environments so that performance
standards may be more closely aligned to meet the local, foreign
country’s workplace practices, cultural, social norms, values,
roles, religious and political beliefs, government and legal
requirements, and local expectations.
One of the main emphases in this approach is to develop an

awareness of differences and capabilities in accommodation and
responsiveness to local needs and the foreign country’s
conditions so the firm may be more successful in meeting its
goals and objectives in serving the host country’s customers and
market needs. To be able to achieve effective local
responsiveness in performance management, it is necessary to
develop accommodation and implementation of performance
standards and expectations according to the particular foreign
country’s management practices.
To learn about the differences in performance methods and
procedures between the home and host country, HR managers
should work in consultation with local experts, host country
managers, government officials, community interest groups, and
other constituents and stakeholders of the foreign subsidiary as
well as the parent company’s stakeholders and management
team to assure effective alignment of the sensitivity to cross-
cultural differences in the performance management system
with the overall company strategy.

Exercise 1 Chapter 4

1. Ethical decision making You are the marketing officer at
Sullivan’s Island Medical University. Three employees work in
your department—you, the marketing director (your boss, who
oversees all marketing/public relations duties), and the
marketing media officer (your colleague, who oversees all
communications to external audiences). You oversee all in-
house communications (i.e., for audiences inside the medical
school). Currently, you are writing articles about new residents
who have just arrived at Sullivan’s Island Medical University
for their surgical rotations. Your articles will be published in
the in-house newsletter Take Note in a recurring section titled
“Welcome to Our New Docs.” The articles about the new
residents include their educational background and some
personal information, such as marital status, the names and ages
of their children, and their hobbies. To prepare for your
interview with resident Patricia Gray, you google her name and
find her Facebook page. The photos, captions, and comments on
her page indicate that she is a big partier; in several of the
photos, she obviously is drinking alcohol. One photo shows her
pouring champagne on the head of another woman. Another
shows her holding a beer can in one hand and giving the
thumbs-up signal with the other. Moreover, she uses profanity
throughout her posts.

a. In your position as a marketer in a hospital, do you think Dr.
Gray’s Facebook page is an issue that warrants your attention?
Why or why not?
b. With reference to the four quadrants model presented in

Exhibit 4.1, define where you think this scenario should be
classified.
c. Using one of the ethical decision-making models explained in
the chapter, explain how you would address this situation.
d. How do you think the AMA policy about physicians and the
use of social media (summarized at the top of page 52) relates
to Dr. Gray’s Facebook page?
