Over the last decade, globalization has influenced organizations to see the world as a market as well as a source of competition. Under this view, studies by May (1997), Brake (1997), McKenna (1998), Morrison (2000), Stanek (2000) and Suutari (2002) have expressed the need to develop "global leaders" who are a new breed of managers. In order to develop "global leaders", organizations need to identify a new set of competencies for their managers. It is the role of human resource managers to develop these competencies. / This paper aims to review the literature examining how globalization has shaped organizational strategies to achieve competitive advantage, and how this presents a new challenge for their human resource practitioners to develop global leaders. As the full impact of globalization becomes a reality for developing countries in Asia, this paper draws the conclusion that more research is needed to find out the strategies needed for developing global leaders, particularly in an Asian and Malaysian context. / Thesis (DoctorateofBusinessAdministration)--University of South Australia, 2007.
