SUMMARY:Elaine Farndale and Andy Sivaraman, “Deglobalization and High-Tech Talen
t: Understanding the Interdependencies of Corporate and Governmental Act
ions”
DESCRIPTION:\nAs corporate globalization has been restricted through cha
nges in macro-environments\, firms traditionally reliant on global talen
t pools are suffering. This is particularly true for high-tech firms’ se
eking to source high-skilled STEM (science\, technology\, engineering\,
mathematics) talent. In this webinar\, we will explore the impact of mac
ro-level trends in national government policy and political climates on
high-tech firms seeking to source high-skilled STEM talent. By applying
coevolutionary reasoning\, we demonstrate the intricate interdependence
between the macro environment and corporate strategizing. Based on quali
tative research across the United States\, the United Kingdom\, and Aust
ralia\, the day-to-day realities of talent management practitioners and
industry experts will be shared. Overall\, we identify emergent adaptati
ons to corporate talent sourcing activities for dealing with increasing
STEM shortages linked to deglobalization\, explaining how these adaptati
ons are a consequence of both internal strategic factors as well as exte
rnal institutional forces.\n\nElaine Farndale is professor of human reso
urce management and associate director of the School of Labor and Employ
ment Relations\, Penn State\, where she is also founder and director of
the Center for International Human Resource Studies. Elaine’s research f
ocuses primarily on international human resource management\, strategic
HRM\, and HRM and performance. She has published widely from her interna
tional collaborations in both the practitioner and top-ranked academic p
ress\, and has served as an elected member of the Academy of Management
HR Division Executive Committee\, co-editor for Routledge’s Global HRM S
eries\, co-editor-in-chief for Human Resource Management Journal\, and a
ssociate editor for Human Resource Management and International Journal
of Human Resource Management. Elaine completed her doctoral degree at Cr
anfield School of Management (United Kingdom)\, and worked previously as
an HR specialist for several years.\n\nAndy Sivaraman is based in the U
nited States and is a business leader with over twenty-five years of exp
erience in enabling strategic business transformation through process an
d technology reengineering\, organizational change and talent management
during years of hyper-growth and technology-driven disruptions. He has
been on the executive leadership team of global technology services comp
anies and is currently partner and board member of a digital transformat
ion focused software product company. Andy has been a guest faculty at u
niversities on technology and globalization\, published white papers\, a
rticles in HR business magazines and a paper on "The Soft Side of Digita
l Transformation - The Connected Employee" in the South Asian Journal of
Human Resource Management. Andy holds a bachelor of science degree in p
hysics and mathematics and a master's degree in personnel management and
