In this industry, extensive labor outsourcing takes place, creating an opaque and transient employer-employee relationship. This cyclical nature of demand for the labor force makes the process of HR more difficult.

The question “why countries that do not have that much natural resources to boast of often appear more progressive and financially stable than countries that are staggeringly abundant in natural resources?” has been common among citizens of both resource-rich and non-resource-rich countries for a very long time. It is actually logical to think that a country rich in natural resources, especially the point-source and non-renewable ones such as oil, diamonds, and other ores, would outperform those that are less blessed because they already have an edge to begin with. However, according to Sachs & Warner (2001), the opposite happens. Sachs ...

It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Warehousing is one crucial component of trade that demands great mastery and dedication if trade is to be successful (Nelson, 2000). This is because it creates utility of time by providing an over pass between manufacture and final use of any good. ...

In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

Innovators must deeply experience the world of their Customers

Introduction Miriam Webster defines innovation as a new idea, device, or method. Most people want to be innovative and often think that their good idea will lead to their success and happiness. Ralph Waldo Emerson is famously misquoted as having said “Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.” (Kassinger, 2002 p.128). Mousetraps have been created since the 1800s, but even since 1976 there have been 309 additional mousetrap patents filed (USPTO, 2014). However, if one goes searching for a mousetrap, they will probably find it gathering dust at the back of an old hardware store. ...

Before Federation (prior to 1901), Australia was not a nation; each of the British colonies was its own self-ruling state. Each had separate laws and regulations and functioned effectively as a separate country. Those colonies were: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia, the last one to join (Singleton et al. 2013, pp.55-56). According to “Federation 1890-1910” published by the government of Western Australia (n.d.), that state had delayed its decision because it had seen such rapid changes in the previous decade, including the discovery of gold and a population increase from 50,000 to near 200,000. ...

Introduction Despite the call for increased environmental awareness, most people remain unaffected by environmental concerns. Although it is an accepted fact that the environment is everyone’s concern, most individuals and organizations take their social responsibility to nature for granted.

Cigarette butts, for example, still constitute the largest percentage of street litter, which according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is ...
