HRM challenges

The United States of America is proud to have the greatest work force in the world. Not from the quantitative point of view – counties like China or India have much greater labor pools, but definitely in terms of quality. With over 56 million of college graduates available on the market, America has a large pool of professionals, and problems in human resource management for private and official entities may seem artificial. Nevertheless, there are plenty of issues that HR specialists of this country need to address, and the number of problems they face does not tend to decrease.

Response Hyundai Cut Cost

All organizations should look for ways of cutting costs when they experience a decrease in profit. However, in implementing cost-cutting measures, it is important to start by establishing budget variances. This helps to identify the costs that have adverse variances.

Successful planning, construction, and completion of a large scale project like the one undertaken for completing the One World Trade Center is not easy since it requires a strategic focus on the construction plans in a realistic manner. Project leaders need to give external reviewers an opportunity to have an outside view of the whole project and suggest ways that can ensure completion within the stipulated time while avoiding deviations from the initial budget. The delays experienced during the construction of the Freedom Tower create the impression of how ineffective functional operations can lead to major changes in designs ...

ISLAMIC SUFISM

Introduction There has been a profound link between the art and the spiritual depth of humans because the true form of art is assumed to be a reflection of the various thoughts, beliefs, and emotions existent in the spirit of the individuals. Religion is a definite medium to address all the above three aspects of humans and therefore, religion has an equally significant impact on the artworks as well.

Discussion of the crisis issues associated with the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster in 2004

Management in crisis is a tough enough situation. However, the horrific onslaught of a suddenly unexpected tsunami literally crashing dramatically upon one’s doorstep is simply unthinkable. The inconceivable occurred in Indonesia, when the Aceh-stimulated earthquake stirred the violent killer waves in 2004 costing the lives of 127,000 people, roughly half a million injured – leaving behind potential scores of disease-prone epidemics and mourning of loved ones (Pascapurnama, Murakami, Chagan-Yasutan, Hattori, Sasaki & Egawa 2016). One international journalist and helper in the aftermath of the Indonesian Indian Ocean Earthquake Tsunami disaster, Bill Nicol, in his book Tsunami Chronicles, described the ...

Imagine living on earth during a time when there was no electricity. A time with absolutely the bare minimum of any type of light pollution and just pure night time darkness. A time that when the sun set, a celestial showcase revealed a blanket of studded diamonds, twinkling in the night with splendor beyond belief. The wild, the magic, the miracles of survival; all captured in the cycle of day and night. The closet star to Earth, our Sun, feeds the planet with energy and warmth and the night sky illuminates the senses with creativity, wonder and storytelling. A ...

Question 3

The society has certain expectations of an individual. The essence of labeling is the way people look at individual actions. In this case at a negative angle. If one does not conform to the cultural norms of the society one is labeled a negative name, for example, "a thief", a "cheat" or "a loser". The concept of stereotyping and self-fulfilling prophecy brings out the labeling theory. The deviance depicted, however, is seen has non-inherent rather it is the majority normalcy in labeling minorities deviant from the social norms (Fennell, Dana, and Ana 305).

Course of action on the issue of employee lay-off

It is my proposition that the company should reduce the number of employees to be laid off from 10% to a lower figure so as not to affect the company’s future ability to attract talent, to prevent a decrease in employee morale and to prevent giving a bad customer image. The lay off number can be reduced by making an across the board pay cut and offering unpaid vacations as a cost cutting measure and refocusing on the core business of the firm in the long run. Immediate lay off should be carried ...

Introduction

A manager is an individual responsible in running an organization. A manager plans, coordinates and direct the activities of the organization. This is achieved through monitoring the actions of workers and probably advising them to rectify their actions when necessary. The manager can direct workers directly or else delegate the responsibility to junior staff. Though a manager may delegate some of the responsibilities, he/she must have adequate knowledge of the work done. It is better for a manager to concentrate on learning and developing better ways of managing workers than learning how all activities of a job are done.
