Introduction Five years after graduating, I would like to hold the job of Human Resources Manager in one of the top business organisations in the country. A Human Resources Manager (HR manager) plans, directs and coordinates activities of the HR department within an organisation so as to allow it to make maximum use of strategic human resources available (Noe and Winkler 4). In addition, he or she is responsible for effective running of such human resources department functions as employee recruitment and employee compensation. A HR manager also formulates personnel policy as well as ensures compliance by their organisation to corporate and labour laws. Knowledge Requirements for a Human Resources Manager Typically, one requires a degree in nearly any field plus either a postgraduate diploma in Human Resources Management, or an MBA in Human Resources Management to qualify as a HR manager. However, those who take a business related bachelor’s degree and who major in human resource management are normally given first preference during selection of HR managers. Work experience is an equally important requirement for one to climb up the human resources management ladder. The formal education should impart the manager with deep knowledge of the following aspects; Management of Human Resources The HR manager should have deep knowledge of principles as well as the procedures involved such process as personnel recruitment, training, and compensation. In addition to these, they should be well informed of personnel information systems and labour relations and negotiation. All of these requirements are sufficiently taught or lectured in introductory as well as advanced human resource management courses which are part of off-the-job management development techniques. The understanding of them is further enhanced by the learner reading and subsequently attempting to answer HR issues in case studies. Deep Knowledge of the English Language A HR manager is expected to be proficient in both oral and written English. Coursework and group discussions adequately serve the purpose of enhancing participants’ oral as w
Abstract This report provides the analysis of the interview answers given by Gabriel Richards, the founder and the CEO of Endertech. The purpose of this report is to relate the information provided by Richards to the theoretical concepts of company management, in particular, the four functions of managers, business ethics, and organizational culture. In addition, the role of the manager qualities in relation to managerial success is evaluated. Several key theoretic concepts are supported by peer-reviewed scholarly papers. Main Body There is no denying that managers play a pivotal role in any company’s success. Gabriel Richards, the founder, and the manager of Los Angeles based Endertech company, offered his insight into what does the job of a manager entails. Endertech is a web design and software development company that specializes in Internet-related services such as e-commerce, content management, social network development, and hosting ( Full Service Web Design & Software Development , n.d.). The company’s core team consists of 17 people who occupy administrative, marketing, and software development positions in the company’s office in Torrance, Los Angeles. In addition to the local team of multidisciplinary talents, the company employs specialist subcontractors who perform some of the work. Endertech was founded in 2000 and started small by developing local business websites. Over the next few years, the company built several successful e-commerce websites and expanded its product offering to include the services it offers today. Just as
Introduction In his article The Hippocratic oath of the manager: Good or bad idea, Sean D. Jasso, Ph.D. considers the surge in popularity of the MBA oaths and analyzes the following:   * effects that these oaths actually have on the quality of services provided by the managers, the manager–employee relations, etc.;   * management ethics;   * notorious “primum non nocere?” – “above all, not knowingly to do harm” (Jasso, 2010, p. 1). Concerning the Strengths One of the doubtless strengths of Jasso’s argument is the knowledge of the subject in question. To start with, Jasso provides an extensive definition of management, therefore, setting the premises for the further discussion of a possibility of having an oath related to the business sphere: “Among the great innovations of the last hundred years that have moved society forward is in fact management” (Jasso, 2010, p. 1). It is also quite remarkable that Jasso considers the issue of the MBA oath from different standpoints, only making his choice when the answer to his question becomes obvious. Finally, it is remarkable that Jasso draws a clear line between what makes good management and what makes a good manager. Analyzing the Weaknesses However, Jasso’s research also has several major problems. First, the methodology of his research has not been defined clearly. Based partially on the existing researches, and partially on his own assumptions concerning the features required for developing leadership qualities and the assets that are a must for a businessman’s tool kit, the methods used for the research leave much to be desired. Although the given detail can be viewed as a minor ditch in an overall strong canvas of the research, it is, in fact, much more serious an issue. The wrong choice of research methods jeopardizes the research results and, therefore, leads to questioning the results offered by the author. While some of the details of Jasso’s article point at the fact that he uses qualitative research methods and acquires data from previous papers on the topic, the methodology should have been considered more carefully. The Content and Its Meaning Finally, the issue discussed in the article should also be brought to discussion. In contrast to medicine, with the key concept there being curing the patient and saving people’s lives and, therefore, the Hippocratic Oath being an integral part of the “initiation process,” in business, the very notion of sacrifice seems alien to the management principles. That being said, the idea of having the MBAs take the oath that will oblige them to be honest in their actions and provide the customers with the best services possible is not a bad id
The management of burns is one of the critical questions to be discussed by nurses who have enough experience of working in burn centers. In the article “Management of Burns in Intensive and Acute Care,” Rowley-Conwy (2013) discusses the aspects of the care that should be provided for patients with major burn injuries in order to prevent the development of complications. The purpose of the article is to describe what procedures should be performed not only by specialists in intensive care units but also by general nurses in emergency departments. Therefore, much attention should be paid to discussing the article’s features and its contribution to the nurses’ practice. The article can be viewed as the review of the currently used practices to cope with burns in intensive care units, and the author describes procedures that are necessary in order to provide the respiratory care, cardiovascular care, renal care, pain management, wound care, required nutrition, and psychosocial care (Rowley-Conwy, 2013). The target audience of the article is general nurses who need to improve their knowledge regarding burn care. The article can also be interesting to specialists working in burn centers. Still, although Rowley-Conwy (2013) refers to results of the studies conducted in the United States in the 1980s, it is important to note that, being a staff nurse in King Abdulaziz Medical City in Saudi Arabia, the author synthesizes the global experience in burn care to present it in the article. The information presented in the article can be discussed as easy for understanding by nurses and specialists in burn care because the text includes many terms
Leadership and inspiration An animator is a person that seeks to introduce new ways of thinking in life. This is instrumental in ensuring that there are development and improvement in the lives of people. Being an animator requires undivided inspiration to achieve the goals by continuous thinking and acting (Spiro, 2011). In essence, being a leader of the organization requires inspiration and concentration on an organization. This idea has helped a lot in my endeavors as a leader. First, it has helped me find better ways of dealing with situations, both in conversations and inactions. As an animator, I have to keep thinking and acting to bring improvement in the lives of people I work with. For instance, we take the initiative to perform complex duties that may arise. This is in line with the reduction of time lag, managing resources, and improving efficiency. Without the three instrumental ingredients, it will be hard to ac
Introduction Working requirements for specialists of different professions, as a rule, require compliance with a number of obligations or job descriptions. Activities in the healthcare sector and, in particular, nursing have many conventions. Immediate duties here closely overlap with the moral and cultural aspects of work without which nursing practice cannot exist. Working as a nurse or a nursing assistant requires commitment and strict adherence to cultural values; otherwise, patients’ outcomes will not be favorable, and positive objectives will not be achieved. The Correlation of Moral and Professional Qualities Work in the nursing home cannot be called simple both in terms of professional requirements for employees and moral-psychosocial environment. According to André et al., the directions and trends in official duties may vary depending on the developing healthcare sphere, but one thing remains unchanged – it is the need for full dedication to work (449). Hours spent among patients show that strict adherence to instructions is not the main aspect of a nurse’s work. No less attention should be paid to the cultural and ethical aspect, namely, the observance of the moral standards of behavior that are necessary for junior medical staff. As Norberg-Hodge claims, there is no limitation of liability when it comes to human life (139). Therefore it is extremely important to observe ethical standards of behavior and not to make mistakes. The nurse’s duty is dispassionately and at the same time faithfully assisting everyone without exception. As Divakaruni remarks, both people in Third World countries and rich inhabitants of megacities deserve the same attitude (147). Moreover, the nursing qualification is largely determined by the degree of involvement of the employee in the treatment process. Hessler mentions emigrants as people who find it particularly difficult to obtain qualified medical care in new conditions (172). It is therefore important that nurses do not separate cultural values from work responsibilities. Working with Emotional View One of the frequent problems of specialists working as medical personnel in nursing homes is excessive fatigue. In addition, an excessive load is associated not only with physical labor but, as Mastracci and Hsieh claim, with emotional exhaustion (1125). Sometimes the task is complicated by the fact that junior staff is considered to be the least respected employees and are not regarded as full participants in the medical process. Such a factor as low wages exerts considerable pressure on workers and sometimes leads to nervous breakdowns (Cooke 153). Despite these shortcomings, the nurse should not neglect the performance of work duties since this post is directly related to how quickly patients will recover. Consequently, regardless of the degree of emotional fatigue, nursing staff should be qualified to perform their immediate duties in order to avoid tragedies in the workplace. Regardless of public perception, good nursing assistants are talented and kind in any culture. Mutual respect is a
Introduction Towards the end of the last century and the wee years of the new millennium, most cities have globally have registered substantial growth in the urban centers. This consequently has seen increased population levels that have poses monumental challenges for public transport, to be able to uphold the passenger integers the metro shuttles have been integrated into most cities as a strategy to contain congestion on the mobility industry. In our contemporary society electrical and civil engineering has not been left behind by the enormous wave of technological advancements. Light rail systems that support metro buses are being deployed to facilitate rapid transit with minimal frequency in comparison with the heavier mass rapid systems. In this paper, we consider designing a metro shuttle in Riyadh as an alternative mode of transport. The paper, however, is biased, investigating the power supply, types of rails used, and how the metro is controlled. Metro transport systems are powered by light rail systems, a modern variation of transport where trains run separately from the road traffic. On this kind of system, stopovers are normally less and boarding is done over a platform. Background Light rail is a modern concept that is versatile in nature and it fits perfectly in the engineering visions of a bus and the heavy metro. In comparison with buses on the streets, it’s ideally an expensive venture to develop although it could also be cheaper in terms of the functionality on a given capacity, It’s however cheaper to build and operate at minimal commercial speed. It is also a form of transport that enhances smooth traveling, it doesn’t emit pollutants over pedestrians and its frequent run is somewhat economical. Comparisons between Lisbon, Singapore, and Montreal Metro Lisbon metro is a superlative transport system with numerous satiations that expediently and economically enhances swift transportation around the city. The metro stations exhibit magnificent artwork, which makes the metro in the offing slightly satisfying. The metro system offers an easy workout for tourists than buses. Lisbon’s metro however runs on the underground infrastructure, spotless and competent. Singapore on the extreme runs on a metro infrastructure system that is very expensive since it involves intricate networks that are very expensive to maintain. These networks are fundamentally underground interlocking major roads, rivers, and canals. Nevertheless, Montreal metros are erected on LAHT (low-alloy high tensile) steel. The trains are pulled together in 3, 6, or 9-car lengths. Every piece of the three-car subdivision component consists of two motor cab cars encircling a trailer car. Each car is 2.5 meters wide and has four wide bi-parting leaf doors on each side for speedy customer entrance egress. The diminutive irritable segment of the cars tolerates easier construction under existing underground utilities. The Metro services contain four direct-current traction motors coupled to reduction gears and differentials. Montreal’s metro trains use electromagn
Introduction Transportation of packaged goods from one destination to another is a very common activity in our world today. Billion of goods ranging from small parcels to heavy machineries are being delivered physically or mechanically everyday. Companies in charge of such services use different modes of transport, for instance, air, road, rail, and sea. The commitments of these companies include prompt and efficient delivery of goods on top of reliable and lucrative services. However, with the increased demand for delivery services coupled with the current global challenges, logistical networks have become very intricate (United Parcel Service 4). There is no doubt that distribution business is a huge and integral part of the global economy. The distribution business has continuously grown in the last decade similar to business globalization. This remarkable growth has not only led to massive volumes of transactions to be processed, but has also created new aspects in distribution and therefore increased problems associated with operations at the distribution points (Opidee, Ankit and Stephen 2). United Parcel Service (UPS) is among the private companies managing transport and international supply chain services. The company manages goods and information in almost every country in the world and handles about 13.5 million packages daily. The company’s current headquarter is in Atlanta, Georgia (Opidee, Ankit and Stephen 3). Besides its core business, UPS logistic business also includes global financial trading, logistics technology, mail innovation and ground deliveries, consultancy services, warehousing and supply chain management. The company started to venture in logistics in the mid 90s by offering solutions and consulting in global supply chain management. The company’s logistic strategies are incorporated in its shipping style via containerized maritime shipping. UPS airline is ranked number eleven in the world (Chakravorty, Alex and Joe 4). The current global business challenges have considerably transformed the formula for business success. Over the last twenty years, a lot of focus has been on the growth of service industry since they operate in a highly competitive environment. In addition, the competition has changed from simple pricing to encompass a range of other factors, for instance, product and service quality, innovation, and flexibility of response to the needs of the clients. Therefore, company top organs have to come up with strategies that are capable of withstanding the current global challenges (Hobohm 5). The use of maritime shipping, train, trucks and air service by the company has helped to minimize cost, optimize use of space and increase reliability. UPS has also invested heavily in information communication technology (ICT). The ICT enables the company to easily access significant information in the supply chain. In addition, the UPS tracking system enables the company’s clients to monitor the progress of their goods online (Chakravorty, Alex and Joe 5).
Introduction One of the last concerts I was fortunate to attend was a concert by famous vocal singer Alecia Beth Moore, better known as Pink. This concert was included in the sixth concert tour, in support of one of the most successful and accomplished albums “The Truth About Love.” In this essay, I will provide my personal impressions, both positive and negative, about this special event. Main body To start with, the first element that I should highlight is, undoubtedly, her beautiful and rich voice. From the very beginning, she managed to charge and dazzle the audience with her fantastic vocal, performing her famous song “Are We All We Are.” Her voice was so clear, sincere, and vivid that I could hear her every word and every idea that she tried to convey to us. Besides, the dedication with which Alecia Moore performed her songs and which was observed during the whole concert could not leave her fans boring or indifferent. They listened and responded to her every move, action, and word, and no wonder why the applause did not subside until the end of the event. In addition, I should mention well-organized live event support that created an unforgettable atmosphere and gifted many pleasant impressions. Instruments, such as drums, sound, lighting, and special effects were at a superior level, giving us many delights and taking us to faraway, heavenly places. Finally, the single thing that I was slightly not satisfied with is choreography. I fully realize that such type of concert does not imply intense and active choreography, but frankly speaking, I should say that choreography in the event was rather simple. However, it is my personal preference; therefore, it is not an absolute requirement. Conclusion In summary, after the concert, I was overwhelmed with numerous positive emotions and impressions that could not be expressed by simple words and would remain for the rest of my life.
