Expatriate management reflects the growing concern for expatriate performance hence expatriate performance management. With operating strategically in mind, expatriates are given assignment because of control and co-ordination of operations, transfer of knowledge and skills and managerial and professional development. Hence, expatriate performance management is very important in the success of multinational companies (MNCs). For MNEs to ensure effective expatriate performance management, foreign assignments must be closely linked with the strategic operational requirements, requiring that the expatriate assignment would be the best decisions in global sourcing decisions. An effective expatriate performance management also implies that the expatriate assignments must generate value for the MNC as a whole aside from being cost effective as well.
international performance management and effective performance management will be discussed. Discussions will be built upon the case of an MNC which is Shell. How Shell manages the performance of its expatriates will be discussed. Shell is one among the several MNCs which depends heavily on international assignments or expatriation employment. The company regards expatriation as a corporate resource wherein global business skills could be enhanced.

Center effectiveness can be enhanced by informal as well as formal organizational structures. The
increasing importance to Centers, and the CGIAR System as a whole, of knowledge management as a
key source of competitive advantage has focused attention on the (usually informal) organizational
structures that facilitate knowledge capture and dissemination as well as the technology to support this.
These can include:



The development of communities of practice within the Center or across the CGIAR system, which
aims to help develop knowledge. These are not shaped by formal organizational structures but by the
common interests of the participants, and



The role of intermediaries between those engaged in creating and developing knowledge and those
using that knowledge.

These should be combined with nonstructural incentives such as inclusion of knowledge management
factors in recognition and reward systems, performance management systems, and management metrics.

The “boundaryless organization” is a paradigm shift which underlies such concepts as the “virtual

organization and its suppliers, customers and regulators, and geographic boundaries. The focus is how

Work-Life Balance The expression "work-life balance" was first used in the late 1970s to describe the balance between an individual's work and personal life. Work-life balance is the subject of widespread public debate on how to allow employees more control over their working arrangements in order to better accommodate other aspects of their lives, while still benefiting their organizations. The agenda consists primarily of flexible working practices and family friendly policies, although good practice demonstrates that flexibility should be open to all, including those without caring responsibilities. The work-life balance debate has arisen through social and economic changes, such as greater numbers of women in the workforce, the expectations of the younger Generation X (World War Two), a growing reluctance to accept the longer hours culture, the rise of the 24/7 society, and technological advancements. It has been supported by government and by organizations which see it as a means of aiding recruitment and employee retention. It's important to realize that balance is not about having more free time; it's about living a fuller, richer life that is more enjoyable and more significance. Using a sample of married, employed Americans from the 1996 General Social Survey, Melissa A. Milkie examine feelings about work-family balance, and find, unexpectedly, that women and men report similar levels of success and kinds of work-family tradeoffs. Melissa find some gender differences, however For men, imbalance is predicted by longer work hours, wives who work fewer hours, perceived unfairness in sharing housework, marital unhappiness, and tradeoffs made at work for family and at home for work.

Family friendly policies 8 marital unhappiness and sacrifices at home are unbalancing, and for women who are employed full-time, young children are. Rosabeth Kanter has used the term "the myth of separate worlds" to describe a process whereby management acts as if the employee's home world did not exist; that is, as if the work world were everything. Many executives perpetuate this myth, even though they know home life has a major impact on work and organizational life, and vice versa. In fact, according to traditional theories of organizational behavior, work-family benefits, and benefits in general for that matter, should not affect the performance of workers. Work-family advocates have long championed the adoption of a variety of family-friendly benefits to positively influence work-family balance (Galinsky, 1992). Flexibility in the timing (flextime) and location of work (flexplace) are two characteristics that are repeatedly seen as a way to achieve balance in work and family life in this challenging environment (e.g., Christensen & Staines, 1990; Galinsky, 1992; Galinsky & Johnson, 1998; Ze- deck, 1992). Family friendly policies Family Friendly Policies is defined as any benefits and working conditions that an organization has in place to assist an employee balance their work and life (Bardoel, Moss, Smyrnios & Tharenou, 1999). Peoples today are often remain busy with their work and family responsibilities, that demands on their time for education, exercise, community service and/or leisure are not fulfill and may at times, feel dissatisfied with the quality of both their work and personal lives. Betty Friedan proclaimed in 1963 that "work can now be seen as the key to the problem that has no name." Wage work in meaningful jobs was her solution to the depression. She described as truncating the lives of white, middle-class, educated, suburban housewives.
