Introduction A successful organisation requires talented staff to run its operations. This is essential to attain the set objectives of the company and to increase its profit margin. It, therefore, becomes the burden of the employer to make the organisation attractive to potential job candidates by ensuring smooth recruitment and selection process. Recruitment and selection process is, thereby, the key component of talent management and, thereby, plays a big role in enhancing employment relations. This is because the organisation should look out for candidates possessing the right skills to handle the demands of the organisation effectively. With the current dynamic growth in the business world that has seen most companies merge and even extensively expand, it has become critical to hire qualified staff to give the organisation a competitive edge. This essay will critically analyse the concept of attracting, recruiting and selecting the right candidate and its impact on the employment relationship. Understanding The Concept Of Recruitment And Selection As A Relevant Area In Talent Management Previous studies have argued that it will be challenging for the organisations to recruit and retain high performing employees in future due to skills shortage, hence, leading to talent deficit (Roberts 200). This aspect of the study becomes very important in ensuring an effective recruiting and selection process to manage and fill the skills gap likely to hit the company in the future. It actually does not come as a surprise that most managers fail to have a plan when recruiting and selecting a suitable candidate. Actually, the line managers, who usually are left with the burden of bringing in the right talent in the company, fail in their bid to do so. This process of hiring the most suitable and qualified candidate has, therefore, become a topical area. This is attributed to the fact that not only does it have the capacity of becoming an integral part in the managerial process of the organisation but is also as one of the key components of attaining the competitive edge of the company. Further, it is a notable fact that the process of attracting the right job seekers and at the same time recruiting and selecting them does not operate in a vac
Introduction This paper provides an individual career plan for a 24-year-old client. It presents his profile and the results of his personality assessment. It gives the interpretation of the findings and suggests career options based on the client’s education, goals, and individual traits. The paper proposes a detailed action plan and concludes by presenting a personal reflection. Client Profile The client is a 24-year-old White American male living in Richmond, Virginia.

Introduction The main reason for the economic analysis of the above article, is to promote the economic capability of monetary policy and if the proposed topic is economically and financially beneficial to the economic growth. The monetary policy is mainly concerned with the tools taken to regulate the supply of the money, the cost, and the accessibility of credit in the market 1 . Meanwhile, it deals with distribution of credit between the uses and users of borrowing rates of interest. The economic analysis of the article will give the strength and the weakness of the monetary policy in the domestic capital and the foreign exchange markets. The analysis will compare the effect of the monetary policy and other economies on the impact on the domestic market. Different monetary tools used to measure the amount of money in circulation will be formulated, to establish which tools are best to use an indicator of economic growth. According to the article, the unfavorable indicators and the exogenous factors have constantly put upward pressure on the domestic inflation; therefore, posing challenges to the monetary policy going upward. In conclusion, the economic analysis will formulate data in the article and analysis them critically to obtain the best monetary instrument to be implemented in the economy. The Monetary Policy Concepts and the Theories Monetary Tools Transmission Method It refers to the process by which changes in money supply affect the aggregate demand of the economy, an increase in real balances generate portfolio disequilibrium in the economy. These Cause the increase of the interest rate and decline of the aggregate demand; therefore, the people borrow money and hold more than they need. It causes portfolio investors to try to reduce money holding by buying other assets; thus, changing the prices of the different asset in the economy. The portfolio can help in analyzing the effect of the different asset due to the change in the demand supply in the economy. Meanwhile, changes of the interest rate affect the aggregate demand in the economy if portfolio imbalances do not lead to significant change in level of interest or if the spending does not respond to change in the rate, then the link between money supply and output will not exist. Therefore, the monetary policy will expand when portfolio balances lead to a change in interest rate or change in government
Irigaray’s essay begins by looking deeply into the femininity riddle. In this discussion, it can be noted that the unique style used by Irigaray together with her project are all entangled together. This makes it easier to read, repeat and reproduce the text. The manner in which this text is presented is similar to that of Freud bearing in mind that both essays contain long quotations. Despite the fact that Irigaray has managed to perform a femininity masquerade, she is not able to reproduce or reiterate the different ways that show that women lack a unique language. According to Irigaray, women rely on their fathers’ voices to express themselves. By so doing, she is trying to establish a symbolic terrain capable of absorbing any critique and its presuppositions. It should also be noted that her questions appear in the form of commentaries, counterpoints, and questions. While bringing Freud in her conversation, she tries to focus more on her individual status to avoid being taken as a mere study object. It is worth to mention that the decision of Irigaray to insist on her speech is very useful. This is due to the fact that Freud is very reprimanding to women. Despite the fact that Freud’s explanations focus much on sexual differences, there appears to be a lot of complications especially on the perceptions that provide more concentration on status. However, it is worthy to mention that Irigaray has succeeded in retrieving and analyzing Freud’s voice and showing the dogmatisms that are closely linked with sexuality. From this background, it is factual to observe that Freud is not very familiar with the essay presented by Irigaray. This is also in consideration of the fact that Freud’s words do not
The distinctive beliefs, norms, customs, behaviours, and values which are shared by a population in a sovereign country is referred to as national culture. It constitutes characteristics such as ethnic and racial identity, religion, language, traditions, and the cultural history (Beugelsdijk and Welzel, 2018). The behaviour of individuals living in such a nation is shaped by the shared cultural traditions common to them, but are distinct from those of other states. It is certain that a nation’s culture plays an important role in influencing the management of international business. The cultural systems of a certain country coupled with individual cultures have a significant impact on the corporate cultural system. For instance, it affects an organisational decision making and styles of leadership, and the practices of human resource. Other managerial functions directly affected include motivation, reward systems, communication, and the work design (Daniels John, 2007). Various national institutions, including vocational training centres, labour laws, and industrial standards also influence organisational policies. However, there are other factors affecting international trade which include technological changes and economic growth in developing countries (Daniels John, 2007). The extent to which national culture is useful and the level to which it is imperfect is discussed in the section below. Usefulness of National Culture To ensure the success of a business, it needs to adjust its products so that they can fit the local cultural context. The chances of failing internationally are considerably high if an organisation does not put into consideration the national culture. Following the process of globalisation and the increasing economic interdependence among different countries, national culture is eventually becoming an important aspect in business operations (Beugelsdijk and Welzel, 2018). Accepting and understanding it is a key prerequisite for the success of a business. It puts the business in a better position of embracing and utilising all the competitive advantages which are brought about by the modern business environment. For a successful operations of multinational corporations, the managers should be aware of the existence of cultural differences and similarities. They should also understand that if one decides to advance beyond borders, the way the business was conducted in the home country cannot be adopted in the host country (Peng and Meyer, 2016). However, by reconciling the cultural diversity and taking into account the similarities, it is possible to run an effective business. The key issue in this is to keenly identify the behaviour which is diverse in the organisation. By so doing, the management can guide the other employees in integrating the cultural values. There is no cultural group which is successful or unsuccessful than the other, and thus cultural blindness preve
Introduction In the recent past, human beings have been facing the several problems on the environment they live in. These environmental problems have been brought about by various factors, with the major factor being the increase in population on earth. Environmental problems can therefore, be defined as the issues that result to the degradation of the environment because of the negative actions of human beings on the biophysical environment. The environmental problems experienced are diversified, ranging from pollution, global warming, resource depletion, floods, desertification, acid deposition to climate change just to mention a few. This paper will therefore explore the various environmental problems experienced on the earth while looking at the solutions to the problems as well as the implementation of the solutions. The Environmental Problems To begin with, climate change is the variation that takes place in the world’s climate, which could last either for a short period, decade or longer. Climate change comes about when the composition of the planet’s atmosphere is altered by the natural environment or anthropogenic sources. It is mostly depicted through changes in weather patterns or extreme weather conditions (UNEP 8). Research has shown that climate change could be limited to a particular region or spread across the. Concisely, climate change emanates from changes in the global energy balance. This balance is brought about by equilibrium temperature and earth climate, which are determined by the speed at which energy is received and the speed at which it is lost to space. Global warming is another environmental problem, which entails the persistent increase in the usual temperature of the atmospheric and oceanic regions of the earth. It is normally depicted by changes in weather conditions to the extreme. For instance, excess solar being experienced on earth is a sign of global warming. Just like climate change, global warming could be limited to a particular region or spread across the planet. It has been noted that global warming is largely attributable to human actions such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels, which accelerate the level of greenhouse gases found in the earth’s space (atmosphere) (UNEP 8). The aforementioned human activities are responsible for the increase in the concentration of the atmospheric greenhouse gases. When the temperatures on earth go to high levels, the precipitation cycle is affected thus, leading to the formation of subtropical desserts. Ad
Abstract Financial needs have become an important issue in healthcare, and budget cuts for medical organizations are a necessity to meet them. However, inaccurate and poorly managed cost reductions can affect both the productivity of medical personnel and the quality of patient care. Consequently, healthcare leadership is essential for providing the best service and treatment for people. Transformational leadership is most suitable for implication changes aimed at decreasing costs in healthcare that will not affect the quality of care, since its purpose is to motivate employees to efficient work by non-material means. These changes should not affect areas that adversely affect the performance of employees or the material provision of medical organizations. Consequently, the best ways to decrease expenses in healthcare are the reduction of medical supplies cost, employee’s overtime, and their turnover. Introduction The healthcare workers and the general public often hear that healthcare organizations are constantly under pressure since they are required to reduce costs. This demand is based on the common idea that costs reduction is the organization’s way of making profits. However, this process is challenging and tricky, since cost reduction efforts should be conducted in all parts of the organization under centralized supervision. For this reason, healthcare needs leaders who can manage the finance area in hospitals or other medical institutions to save money for them with good management. This issue is critical because thoughtless cost reduction can impair the quality of service and patient care. However, there are three solutions to bring the cost down and keep or improve quality. The basic activities in financial management in health care organizations include reducing supplies cost, as well as increasing employee’s overtime and workers’ turnover, and transformational style of leadership can ensure them. Main Body In a supply chain system, purchasing a high volume at a low price can save money. According to Abdulsalam and Schneller (2017), supply expenses are the second-largest category of costs after labor. The supply chain has been a cost reduction target for hospital and health system leadership. Improvement of supply purchasing is vital for healthcare organizations because those expenses are typically operating expenses for facilities. Money saved by reducing supply ordering inefficiency could be directed to increase staff or other medical equipment. The reduction of medical costs is also essential for the growth of profits. Poor supply chain management can result in wasted supplies, which increases spending. At the same time, a good supply management process allows for product use and supply levels to be tracked. This function means that there is less likelihood of expired supplies turning up due to a lack of inventory visibility. Finally, the use of standardizing medical inventory sys
Introduction The purpose of this report is to design a marketing strategy with very little budget for an upcoming campaign. However, this report will concentrate on the number of issues such as Online Communities, reason to joining online communities, Wang and Fesenmaier (2003) model for member needs, the power of social networking, and target Audience for the campaign. However, this paper will also focus external and internal environment, strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats of social media marketing, slogan of the campaign, time frame, budget, technological development on advertising, and effectiveness of the implication of social marketing in the campaign, key objectives and messages of this campaign, and so on. Situational Analysis “Drink it down” company will launch a new cherry flavoured cola drink and this report will prepare a marketing strategy to promote this new product to the consumers. The main aim of this situational analysis is to explore the current condition of the selected company “Drink it down”, objectives, functionality, target market and so on. However, this analysis will find out the latent area where the marketing campaign will make success and importance of Integrated Marketing Communication campaign project of the company in order to create loyal consumer base or build strong brand image in competitive cola market. However, the behaviour of the customer is difficult to understand, as they always like to taste new flavoured drinks, for instance, according to the report of the Gale Group (2011, p.1), sales of private label bottled fruit juice nectar increased more than 255.0% to $451,354.0 and sales of pineapple juice boosted about 21.40% to $6.70m in the US juice market. On the other hand, apple juice sales fell 3.40% to $207.0 million and cranberry cocktail juice drink sales fell 9.7% to $133 million in this place, which indicates that the customers choice is unpredictable; therefore, “Drink it down” need to focus on the positive features of new flavoured products in its upcoming campaign projects. Online Communities Plant (2004) argues that billions of individuals get together over internet to make conversation, to discover similar-minded individuals, to discuss and share con
Wal-Mart Store, Inc was branded as Walmart in 2008. It is an American multinational retailer corporation that operates chains of discount department stores as well as warehouse stores. It is ranked as the 18 largest public corporations worldwide. It is regarded as the largest retailer in the world and the biggest private employer with over 2 million employees. The firm was started in 1962 by Sam Walton; it was incorporated on 31 October 1969 and privatized in 1972. Walmart is regarded as the biggest grocery retailer in United States of America. In 2009, it realized 51% of its total U.S. sales of $ 258 billion from selling groceries. Walmart has over 8,500 stores in more than 15 countries. The firm operates as Walmart in United States, as Walmax in Mexico, as Asda in United Kingdom, Seiyu in Japan and as Best Price in India. Carrefour was founded in 1959 as collaboration between two entrepreneurs Louis Defforey and Marcel Fournier. Carrefour is ranked as the second largest retailer enterprise in the world. The venture runs over 10,300 stores in France as well as abroad under more than 24 different brands. Among its most successful brands include; Carrefour, Shopi, Champion as well as Promocash. The corporation recent merger with Promodes SA in 2000 enabled it to augment its market share to become the largest operator of supermarkets, discount stores, hypermarkets as well as convenience stores in Europe. It is the Carrefour management that initiated the idea of hypermarkets which enables customers to access variety of merchandise such as groceries, clothing, electronics as well as automobiles from one store. The concept of hypermarket was embraced worldwide which helped to transform many supermarkets to hypermarkets that enabled customers to buy diverse merchandises from one store (Davidson 8). The two corporations have shown great performances locally as well as in their international ventures. Walmart has been noted to record steady earnings both during instances of strong economic growths as well as during periods of economic recessions. Conversely, Carrefour has reflected good earnings during period of economic growth, while performed poorly during periods of recessions to a point of being forced to close some of its stores in some countries. Carrefour is famous in its tasks of assisting the community, employees as well as financing projects that are tailored in upgrading the environment. Walmart on the hand is well known in underpaying its employees as well as being discriminately in its recruitment processes (Ellison 20). That is why it is imperative for this discussion to explore the 2010 annual reports of the two firms in order to establish whether the Carrefour approach of helping the community, employees as well as the environment is more beneficial to the society than the Walmart strategy of low pricing to help people live better. Walmart annual reports are approximately 60 pages long and they reflect financial information from the second page. The first approximately 16 pages mostly concentrates on key facts, letters from execute
