...THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER CHUKWUNONSO Franklyn, franconicostelo@yahoo.com +234 8038765452, 8052829700 Department of Information Technology, Federal University of Technology, Yola ABSTRACT This paper introduces the development of Human Resource Management (HRM) from a historical perspective and explains the debate between HRM and personnel management. Thus, the paper identifies the historical developments and their impacts on HRM, outlines the development and functions of HRM, explains the differences between HRM and Personnel Management, evaluates ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ approaches to HRM, illustrates how diversity is an issue in Human Relations (HR) practice and finally considers HRM as an international issue. It concludes with a discussion about ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ models of HRM and its implications for the human resource manager. INTRODUCTION The term "human resource management" has been commonly used for about the last ten to fifteen years. Prior to that, the field was generally known as "personnel administration." The name change is not merely cosmetics. Personnel administration, which emerged as a clearly defined field by the 1920s (at least in the US), was largely concerned the technical aspects of hiring, evaluating, training, and compensating employees and was very much of "staff" function in most organizations. The field did not normally focus on the relationship...

...Team 4 - Your Way to have a Nutritious Day Project Proposal and Plan 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Everyone wants to grow high and achieve more, along with fulfilling their dreams and responsibilities. For achieving a dream or fulfill our responsibilities we should be planned, have resources and over the top we should possess Good Health. Here comes the Motto of our project How to be healthy ? In today’s fast-paced life, where people are busy in achieving targets take less care to our food habitat which adversely affect our health.we tend to eat food that is readily available and food that can be prepared quickly.For example, we have pizzas, french fries, and other eateries whose products are harmful to our long-term wellness. Most of us don't think about the state of our health until we're sick, but being mindful of small choices and paying attention to the way you feel can help optimize your health. Healthy living is more than simple daily habits – it's a lifestyle. A typical fast-food restaurant’s products contain so many preservatives and artificial ingredients, it’s morally irresponsible to entitle such dishes as “food.” It’s conceivable to say the art of cooking is a lost one because of this ever-growing fast-food problem . Now, on top of this problem, there is the ever-present issue of budgeting and what an individual’s income looks like. There are variations to any single individual’s weekly/monthly/yearly income, and so they must budget their moneys accordingly in...

...University of Louisville, Louisville, KY 40292, U.S.A. Samuel H. Huang Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Program, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH 45221, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The organization of work has been addressed through numerous perspectives by a diverse set of disciplines. While job stress research has focused on the promotion of worker well-being, contemporary business-improvement initiatives (e.g., lean manufacturing, six sigma) have sought to optimize effectiveness through work processes. However, these two aims, although traditionally viewed as contradictory, are actually interdependent variables in the determination of long-term profitability. The concept of organizational health blends the pursuit of individual wellness with organizational effectiveness to yield a strategy for economic resilience. This article introduces a novel model for organizational health assessment using a systemic approach that addresses work factors at the individual, job, process, and organizational levels. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 1. INTRODUCTION Corporate financial success and a healthful organizational environment have been long viewed as juxtaposed concepts. The conventional paradigm dictates that...

...History The key factor which drove the early history of the enterprise that would become The Nestlé Company was Henri Nestlé's search for a healthy, economical alternative to breastfeeding for mothers who could not feed their infants at the breast. In the mid-1860s Nestlé, a trained pharmacist, began experimenting with various combinations of cow's milk, wheat flour and sugar in an attempt to develop an alternative source of infant nutrition for mothers who were unable to breast feed. His ultimate goal was to help combat the problem of infant mortality due to malnutrition. He called the new product Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé. Nestlé's first customer was a premature infant who could tolerate neither his mother's milk nor any of the conventional substitutes, and had been given up for lost by local physicians. People quickly recognized the value of the new product, after Nestlé's new formula saved the child's life and within a few years, Farine Lactée Nestlé was being marketed in much of Europe. Henri Nestlé also showed early understanding of the power of branding. He had adopted his own coat of arms as a trademark; in Swiss German, Nestlé means 'little nest'. One of his agents suggested that the nest could be exchanged for the white cross of the Swiss flag. His response was firm: "I regret that I cannot allow you to change my nest for a Swiss cross .... I cannot have a different trademark in every country; anyone can make use of a cross, but no-one else may use my coat...
