These personality traits have got characteristics of insight and imagination. Children are high on this train compared to adults. This is because the trait possesses a tendency to make an individual have a wide range of interests. Children are more curious and inquisitive about the world as they also have the urge to learn and know new things and have fun of the experiences they have learned. They also tend to be more creative and adventurous. People who are not high in these personality traits, mainly adults, are usually much more traditional and struggle mostly with intellectual thinking. Those who have high openness tend to have more connections between regions of the disparate brain, which is why they have a possibility of seeing links where the rest of individuals may not.

Employee Recruitment

/in , /by

Kimberly and Dana are asked to visit the corporate headquarters to meet with the company’s Vice President for HR, Kathleen Bandy, and the staffing director, Matt Hayes.

“CapraTek needs new IT programs and products, and we need new people to develop them. Kimberly, your team will be responsible for recruiting 20 new employees. The programs will require employees from several different disciplines within IT.” Matt added. “I realize that this will add to your team’s workload, but it will be for the good of the company.”

Kimberly believes the team can handle this task, but realizes it may slow down some other aspects of her work. After they get back to their office, Kimberly and Dana talk.

“Dana, how can we organize our priorities to support the new major responsibilities we have been given? I have some ideas, but we will have to move some areas to a lower priority.”

“It is best if we think this through and come up with a plan before we make any changes. I have had to deal with competing priorities when I ran a retail store. I have some ideas about how to manage the challenge.”

This week, Kimberly and Dana begin assessing their current strategies for recruiting, retaining, and managing talent. You will help them tweak the strategies that are working so that they work better, and you will help them come up with new strategies as well.

Not long ago, while attending their local SHRM chapter meeting, Kimberly and Dana heard several of the other members share the challenges they were facing in sourcing information technology professionals. They were hoping to get someone to speak to the chapter about the challenges and best practices for recruiting employees in high tech. Kimberly and Dana decided to jump into this project, working on it most afternoons of the week if the pace of their regular work allows. Since they are also working on the strategy for recruiting, talent management, and employee retention, they plan to hire a temporary employee who is retired but wants to come back to help for a few months. Things are really picking up, and the team can see how their important work can directly influence the future of the organization.

Resources

To help Kimberly and Dana as they work to recruit the IT professionals needed for the new research and development branch, use the following resources to explore options:

Social Media in Recruiting

Koch, T., Gerber, C., & de Klerk, J.,J. (2018). The impact of social media on recruitment: Are you LinkedIn? SA Journal of Human Resource Management, 16, 1–14.

Dane’s Challenge: How HR Professionals Guide Supervisors in the Recruiting and Selection Process

Introduction

Dane is a Data Scientist working in the CapraTek research and development (R&D) division. Dane has three new team leaders who will have four new teammates each. Two of the new team leaders are being supportive and cooperative in the process of developing a job announcement that Kimberly and Dana need to go forward in the recruiting process. One teammate is not. Calvin has prepared extensive, detailed work competencies that are very difficult for fellow IT peers to understand, and even harder for the HR staff to understand. Calvin said that these materials are essential for a successful set of hires. Dane is the supervisor, and he does not understand the material. Calvin works very hard and is currently doing the work of multiple employees.

HR Consultation

In Dane’s Challenge: Part 1, consider how Dane consults with our HR professionals, Kimberly and Dana, on how to respond to the situation with Calvin and the list of work competencies that are so unique, even he does not understand the level of technical detail.

Create a short summary of how to best use social media in recruiting, internet recruiting, and online applicant assessment to recruit applicants for the new department in the new research and development branch. You can use the materials provided and also use other peer-reviewed or trade publication sources.

Answer preview

With numerous businesses in every sector, the corporate world is growing. To stay ahead of the competition, one must first identify the top rivals and their undertaking in recruiting. The opponents may be publishing more exciting and relevant material on social media than the firm is or that their workers are better engaged in the recruiting process (Kulkarni & Che, 2019). If rivals are ahead of the competition, the business must strive to close the gap. If they are using social media tools one is not acquainted with; it is good to learn about them (Leong, 2018). It is also crucial to be aware of any holes in their tactics that may be exploited. For example, maybe the greatest rival’s social media presence is inconsistent (Koch, Gerber & De Klerk, 2018). If this is the situation, one should double up on their approach by regularly providing high-quality

Goal: Conduct/construct an experiential evaluation/assessment of the business model of your organization (or one with which you are closely familiar) using the business model canvas and related text.

Introduction: Managers who want to improve the effectiveness of their business model and organization, as well as to increase their own ability to manage, use diagnostics/assessments to determine the reality of business effectiveness in comparison to what they originally envisioned. Good feedback contributes to the development of plans to improve business/organizational effectiveness and management performance.

Instructions: Students will write a 2500-3000 words  properly formatted APA paper (including a title page and references page, but no abstract) that evaluates/assesses the overall effectiveness of the business model used by your organization. This is the third of three assignments that draws from your association with your organization. The previous two “canvas” assignments flow into this one. Identify one or more of the building blocks from the business model canvas where modification should be recommended. Be careful to avoid bias in determining the issue/problem identified by using the canvas. Do not merely critique, but contribute to your organization’s overall success. This paper should be the culmination of the overall work you have done with the business model canvas so that all the pieces go together.

Your final paper should include:

The paper must have at least eight additional scholarly sources in addition to the course textbook. No abstract is necessary, but a title page and references page should be included. Write your paper in third person, even though you are writing about an organization that you are familiar with. To do this, write from the perspective of a scholar who observes and researches about the case. Therefore, first person should be avoided.

The company, by itself, was revolutionary, changing how individuals engage with, store, and share information. Many people perceive Google Inc. as the proprietor of the concept of cloud computing (Tran, 2017). The company came up with this concept as a mechanism to enable it to locate storage space for the vast amount of data it controlled. Due to this alteration in data storage, Google Inc. was able to expand its business operations by offering its end-users additional products like Gmail and YouTube.

Further alterations in this form of technology gave the company an opportunity to store the data from its end-user products and analyze such information to provide them with better experiences when using their products and services. Google Inc. has access to a rather large pool of resources, which it leverages to improve or hold on to its competitive advantage within the technology market (Tran, 2017).

OSHA Presentations-Face Protection

MY TOPIC: Face Protection

Each student will be responsible for writing and presenting a 10-minute presentation of the OSHA Topic assigned. In the first part of the assignment, students will create a bibliography page that will consist of sources relevant to their topic.

2nd – the students will write a 3-page research paper that covers the topic assignment.

3rd – the students will conduct a 10-minute safety presentation with only one PowerPoint slide explaining their assigned topic.

Requirements: 3 pages

Answer preview

The topic of face safety is raised when the employees are dealing with some hazards such as debris, sparks, or splashing chemicals. The prioritization of face safety is critical in eliminating avoidable face injuries, which could result in absenteeism and have negative financial difficulties or individual sustaining permanent impairments. OSHA has set several standards which employers are supposed to follow to guarantee the safety of the employees in their respective working environments, including the safety measures to protect the eyes and other face-like eyes. Jakobsson et al. (2020) illustrate that the eye and face protective equipment is specifically designed to protect individual employees from debris, splashing chemicals,

Job Satisfaction

/in , /by

This week we will be discussing the cause and potential effects of a recent drop in federal worker’s job satisfaction. First, read the article “Survey: Federal worker’s job satisfaction drops.”

For your post, I would like you to touch on the following:

  1. Which aspects of job satisfaction do the workers seem most dissatisfied with? Think of the nine common job satisfaction facets to identify the source(s) of low job satisfaction (Table 9.1 on page 217 in your book).
  2. Explain what job satisfaction antecedents you think are responsible for the current low job satisfaction.
  3. Explain the potential outcomes of the situation using what you know about job satisfaction outcomes. What is likely to occur if the sources of low job satisfaction are not addressed?
  4. Feel free to bring in any other relevant comments or observations you made during your review of the article (e.g., workers level of organizational/occupational commitment etc.).

RubricSingle space please .

Requirements: 1

Answer preview

The working environment is another determinant of job satisfaction. It depends on elements like the physical work environment, the quality of work interactions, and how a firm treats its employees, including fair pay and benefits, job security, and fair policies (Kim and Cho, 2020). The failure to compensate employees and layoffs negatively influences job satisfaction in this situation. In addition to the quality of the work environment, management practices such as advancement chances, providing adequate resources, and training and development can all impact job satisfaction. The article indicates that the employees lack adequate resources to conduct their jobs and are not provided with the necessary training.

If the federal government does not well address the sources of low job satisfaction, it will lead to high employee turnover rates (Kim and Cho, 2020). High turnover rates will impact the organization as it will lose its access to qualified talent, forcing it to hire new employees. This impacts the organization as it increases the costs of hiring and training new employees. Another consequence is it may lead to absenteeism, loss of morale, and low employee performance. Low employee performance will impact the organization’s overall productivity affecting its operations and may cause the company to incur losses. In addition, the failure to pay its employees and provide the necessary resources and training also impacts the employee’s productivity, as this will limit the ability of the employees to be productive. Lastly, the organization will incur poor publicity and reviews, limiting its access to talent and new employees, making it difficult for the organization to hire, hence impacting its overall growth. The failure to address the issues will lead to high turnover rates, employee job dissatisfaction, absenteeism, and impact the employees’ productivity.

Case Study

Ahmad and his friend, A.G. Pennypacker, have come up with a great idea: they have
developed a fluor elastomer liner (a rubber lining) for oil tankers. With this
innovation, they believe they can eliminate most oil spills that result from tanker
accidents. The liner is highly resistant to fluctuations in temperature as well as
physical punctures.
Ahmad wants to set up a company, but is unsure of his options and has come to you
for advice for the type of business entity formation he should select. He has the
following concerns:
1. He does not want his other business concerns being held liable should there be
a lawsuit arising from use/sale of this product.
2. He wants an entity form that will minimize his tax liability.
Based on the entity forms detailed in Chapter 35, select one you feel satisfies his
concerns. Make sure to explain why it is the best for Ahmad and Pennypacker.

2. By the due date, submit your answers to the case study questions. Justify your

Answer preview
LLCs are generally perceived as a hybrid form of a business entity. This is because they combine the attributes of a corporation and a partnership (Mancuso, 2021). Specifically, an LLC combines the federal tax classification generally associated with a partnership and the liability shield associated with corporations. In the United States, LLCs are regulated by the rules established by individual states where the LLC was incorporated, irrespective of where the entity undertakes its businesses (Mancuso, 2021). This is an added advantage for Ahmad and A.G. Pennypacker, considering the elastomer liner they invented will be used and sold in different parts of the world. The best state to set up an LLC in the United States should be Wyoming due to its tax-friendly nature. In addition, should Ahmad and A.G. Pennypacker decide to incorporate their LLC in Wyoming, its formation and operations will be regulated by the Chapter 29 – Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act. Limited liability companies have a couple of attributes that set them apart from other business entities.

in a 4 to 6 page, APA formatted written paper. It must be a strategy paper, meaning it must be about firms. However, there is a great deal of flexibility in the choice of topic.

 

Step 1

First, choose an industry, based on interest in the industry. Examples of industries range from advertising to zoos, and include digital watches, private jets, diapers, over-the-counter cold and flu formulas, photographic film, automobiles, airlines, football, romance novels, dating services, banana production, or pre-stressed concrete, computer printers, pagers, business schools, used cars sold over the web, movie theaters.

Step 2

Having chosen the industry, you will need a question or issue on which to focus. Such questions could be broad (What strategies are most likely to sustain profitability?) or narrow (Should firm X build a new plant? Where?). Good questions encourage you to think strategically, and thus should include the likely responses of rival firms to any hypothetical actions. Plan to include your question in the topic proposal. A different approach is to choose a story about the behavior of a firm from a newspaper or other source, and research this story. For example, the defense contractor Lockheed-Martin announced a friendly takeover of Northrop-Grumman, and then later dropped the plan after the Department of Justice filed an antitrust complaint. This story contains a dozen potential paper topics. How is the defense industry organized? Why did they want to merge? Why did the DOJ want to block the merger? Choose a topic in which you are interested rather than one that looks easy. Topics that look easy can be treacherous and unpleasant if they are boring.

Step 3

 

Develop your written response. An important aspect of business communication is the elimination of the extraneous. Supporting exhibits are not counted in the page total. Using a few well-chosen exhibits is a better strategy than many irrelevant exhibits. It is important to provide references for facts you rely on in the analysis. The paper’s focus should be on analysis, with industry description provided to support that analysis. A common mistake is too much description, too little analysis. Do not choose a situation from a case reading from this or another class. Do not revise a paper you wrote for another course as a project without discussing it with me — it would have to be a new paper to be approved. This project is intended for you to perform hands-on strategic analysis. If you were handed a project to analyze a strategic situation by the CEO of your company, what would you hand back?

 

IMPORTANT!

When you have collected a great deal of information and begun to rough out your topic, run through this list of tools and ensure that you analyzes the most relevant ones to your topic.

Instructions:

-4 to 6 pages

-Double spacing

-Font: Times New Roman, Size 12

-At least six (6) peer-reviewed sources (include DOI in reference page) (Use them to define terms/concepts)

-No plagiarism

Answer preview

By implementing Porter’s five forces (PFF), the proposed business will be able to evaluate how different forces influence its competitiveness in the industry (Bruijl, 2018). In other wars, it gives more insights into how the external industry impacts the business. The first force that the business needs to evaluate is competitiveness in health tracking smartphones production and selling. Although the health tracking smartphone and wearable device is growing significantly, it experiences stiff competition from other major companies like Samsung, Apple, Huawei, and others. Most companies have entered this market to leverage the ever-expanding market and increase their market share. However, there are few companies that target the high-end market to reach out to customers who are interested in expensive products, such as the wealthy, celebrities, and others. The second force is bargaining power from suppliers.

Based on the study’s findings, Muratbekova-Touron (2011) arrived at a couple of conclusions. According to Muratbekova-Touron (2011), French and Russian managers rarely use similar cultural dimensions to differentiate their cultures. Russian supervisors look at French culture to be less hierarchical and more universalistic. In contrast, French supervisors believe that Russian culture is more hierarchical and more pluralistic. Based on this, Muratbekova-Touron (2011) concluded that symmetric mutual perceptions exist when French and Russian managers differentiate their cultures. Muratbekova-Touron (2011) also concluded that French and Russian managers use the language, space, and human nature cultural dimensions to differentiate their cultures. Another conclusion arrived at by Muratbekova-Touron (2011) was that one of the dimensions adopted by Russian supervisors and not used by their French counterparts is the masculine vs. feminine dimension.

Sexual harassment

Answer preview

This issue relates to Module 3: Job Discrimination under sexual harassment. Jane’s story is not unique because, according to Johnson et al. (2018), approximately 35% of working women have experienced sexual-related harassment at least once over their careers. This number jumps to 45% for women working in technical fields that men majorly dominate. Additionally, about 55% of women in the senior management levels also experience some form of sexual harassment because men majorly surround them. Johnson et al. (2018) adds that according to the complaints received by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2018, about 16% of the total sexual harassment cases were from men. This means that even men also experience sexual harassment. Organizations need to develop strict policies and measures to prevent any form of sexual harassment in the workplace. The employees should also be made aware of what sexual harassment is and ways to avoid it. Decisive and swift actions should be taken on all sexual harassment reported cases after thorough investigations have been done.

The resistance to change can be eliminated or its impact mitigated through various measures that promote employees’ active involvement and similar stakeholders. Most significant is crisis communication, with honest details which explain the need for change (Rafferty & Jimmieson, 2016). A systematic process can also involve setting the priorities right for the employees and being honest regarding the necessary changes. Necessary interventions also include comprehensive training programs to equip the employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform in the new complex systems. The main consideration is to ensure the employees are confident that they can effectively undertake the new roles.
