Several organizations have prepared workbooks to guide their employees individually through systematic self-assessment of values, interests, abilities, goals and personal development plans. Employees should be encouraged to assume responsibility for their own careers. Knowing which career you want to pursue is an important first step to tackling your job search and career goals. However, simply identifying an ideal position will not propel you to achieve these goals.  A career workshop can help you do just that. It can also help you learn how to make career decisions, set career goals, create career options, seek career planning information, and at the same time build confidence and self-esteem.

Ask peers and acquaintances about their career plans; also ask them how they arrived at their career goals.

Consider the responses, as well as your own career plans and information gleaned from your textbook. In your initial post:

• Discuss at least three issues that Human resources must include in a workshop on career planning.
• In your discussion, state why you feel these issues are critical in developing effective career strategies.
• Provide specific examples.

DQ 2

 

Identifying and developing global leaders is a key concern for international companies.  Compare and contrast the skills and context of the traditional, national manager with that of the international manager. Your original response to this discussion question should be 150-200 words.

HR planning should be focused on helping the organization achieve its strategic intent, which derives from its vision.  These strategies need to both service the short-term, operational concerns (business planning) and the slightly longer-term strategic (business/corporate planning) cycle.  Select a company you are familiar with and detail one short-term and one longer-term strategy, and then discuss how the role of human resources can provide valuable advice and counsel in the achievement of those strategies.

 

DQ 2

Recruitment is of little use if an organization cannot retain key employees.  Therefore, it is critical that organizations properly motivate and reward their employees.  Discuss the factors that affect employee motivation and how a proper reward system can affect an employee’s motivation.

Explain each question in words and with the help of charts, theories and models where it possible and appropriate. Deadline in 4 hours today Januari 16 2016 CET: 12:00 – 16:00.

Andy recalls a method to simplify the definition of a domestic market for a product category (e.g., chocolate). He wants to use the concepts of object, objective, occurrence, outlet, and opposition, which can stand for factors responsible in drawing up the boundaries for the definition of the market of interest (Kotler, 1988).

Andy is meeting with you and other marketing staff to discuss this approach for the domestic and Belgian markets. You are to use the following concepts and determine their factors to describe and compare the U.S. and Belgian markets.

Object: The description and characteristics of the product category
Objective: The customer’s main motivation(s) to buy the product
Occurrence: The typical situation in which the product is used or consumed by the customer
Outlet: The places where the product will be available to the customers for purchase
Opposition: The customer’s perception of the quality of the competing products

You are to also illustrate the information by developing a matrix placing the 5 concepts in the y-axis and the countries in the x-axis. Cells in the matrix should contain brief descriptions of the factors for the corresponding country. The definition of the market should incorporate factor information from each concept.

Part 2

Now that Andy has defined the market, he next needs to determine the unique characteristics possessed by his brand. At least 2 key characteristics should give Andy the differential advantage needed to successfully position the brand versus the competition. Andy’s father challenged him to estimate the brand’s potential demand in the Belgian market using these 2 characteristics.

Andy has asked you to develop a proposal containing a graphic showing a breakdown of the estimated demand by province and type of chocolates.

Propose 2 ways to position the product versus the competition.
Discuss other variables that you think will affect the demand of the product in the Belgian market (e.g., the state of the economy).
Show the statistics in a table format, followed by the graphic.
This proposal must also include an explanation of the variables used to estimate demand b

Rread the case study as assigned by the facilitator and submit a 1–2 page essay in response to the questions. Post your response as a Word document using APA 6th Edition format.

Case Study

Judie has been the nurse manager of her unit for the past ten years and is highly regarded by the hospital’s administration. For the past several months, however, she has been feeling more frustrated and less satisfied with her work because of staffing cuts and other institutional decisions related to managed care. Attending to patient needs has always been the most rewarding part of her job. However, recently she feels that she has been forced to overlook these needs and attend more to the needs of the organization. She considers leaving, but she has seniority, good benefits, and two children to support. She is also aware that her distress at work is affecting her family, because she carries a lot of the frustration home with her.

Identify values evident in this situation.
Which of these reflect your personal values?
What conflicts might arise from these values?
If you were in Judie’s position, what beliefs, ideals, or goals would guide you in making the decision to stay or leave? Identify potential consequences of each choice.
What do you think Judie should do?
