This chapter explores how three South African MNCs ventured north into Africa and what this meant for their practice of HRM. The chapter highlights how each company developed their HR systems under late apartheid, and how they have been adapted since then. It explores what their investments meant for local firms and for workers more generally in their countries of operation. Two of the three firms have placed a strong emphasis on internal HRD and human resource planning orientated towards developing the careers of their staff up to senior management; the third has followed a more mixed model that has not been without controversy.

This paper explores the strategic importance of human resource (HR) planning and the various techniques employed by organizations to attract talent and thus to gain a competitive edge. In this paper, the authors have tried to explore the various biases that come into play when supervisors forecast for human resources. Backed by research, the paper recommends the integration of line managers with HR managers and their participations in strategic planning to enable the HR managers to gain valuable insights for HR planning. The paper further suggests that though biases cannot be ruled out completely but they can be controlled by providing relevant training to the HR and line managers to forecast dynamics. Further, the judgement of the line managers could be complemented with other forecasting techniques to make the process more reliable.

Seventy-five practicing auditors participated in the study which measured their needs using a modification of the Steers and Braunstein (1976) Manifest Needs Questionnaire. ANOVA and nonparametric statistics were used to compare the needs profiles of the auditors across their ranks in the firm (Staff, Senior, Managers, and Partner). Only the need for achievement varied systematically with position in the organization. These results are consistent with prior studies of needs as motivators. Suggestions are made for CPA firms to incorporate needs considerations into their human resource planning.
