Migrant workers; Transnational flow; Cross cutting issues; Management.Abstract
Migrant workers are a cross-cutting and complex issue as the transnational flow of workforce is a sophisticated scenario for managerial practice. In recent years, both pressures from the internal organizational level and the external society have been urging organizations to account for CCIs. This study will critically discuss and evaluate the aspects of migrant workers as a cross cutting issue in contemporary management. The managerial challenges will be identified through the case study of Wilmar International Limited, Singapore. The growing global awareness towards labor inequality and human right makes migrant worker a more evaluative issue for the company. Recommendations for organizational practice will also be addressed in the latter sections.
