...Subspecialties of forensic psychologySubspecialties of forensic psychologySubspecialties of forensic psychology Forensic psychology is defined as the application of psychological knowledge to the legal system (Bartol & Bartol, 2012: 6). The concept of forensic psychology can be misunderstood, because the definition does not explain much. The easiest way to explain forensic psychology is to break it down into its subspecialties and describe where psychological knowledge can be applied. There are five subspecialties of forensic psychology, namely police psychology, psychology of crime and delinquency, victimology and victim services, legal psychology and correctional psychology. I will discuss legal psychology and correctional psychology. · Legal psychology Legal psychology is the study of human behavior relevant to the law. This subspecialty of forensic psychology consists of those theories that describe, explain and predict human behavior by reference to the law. Bartol & Bartol (2012) described that early in a case when attorneys are preparing for a trial and gathering information psychologist can be called in to testify. Main roles of a forensic psychologist in the USA includes, acting as a consultant to law enforcement, acting as trial consultants (jury selection, case preparation and pre-trial publicity), presenting psychology to appeal courts, doing forensic assessment and acting as an expert witness (insanity defense, competence to stand trial, sentencing, eyewitness...

...products and services. The process of innovation among organizations is to develop the basis of assessing creativity among organizations. More so, it enables managers to identify measures aimed at improving or changing organizational operations and functions. Through management innovation, new measures to plan, organize, coordinate, lead, and motivate the organization are identified. This can lead to achievement and sustenance of a competitive advantage in the industry. This is because principles of innovation involve creating long-lasting advantageous processes producing dramatic shifts in the competitive position. Global organizations therefore rely on innovation to systematically reinvent functions and operations being undertaken to enhance speed, effectiveness, and efficiency leading to a long business life (Alice 3). Organizations are referred to as open systems due to various reasons. Foremost, organizations are developed in order to produce new products and services regularly and successfully without facing barriers. As a result, they are referred to as open systems as they can determine market needs and technological capabilities to apply to ensure the products and services distributed are high quality and accessible.

...Human Resources in the Restaurant and Hospitality Industry 8/13/2015 In the restaurant and hospitality industry, the manner in which human resources (HR) management is handled is largely dependent on the size of the company. This can present problems for smaller organizations that may not place a large emphasis on HR management until it’s too late. Many companies are corporate-owned and HR management processes are established at higher levels than just the specific locations where a majority of employees work. In smaller organizations, however, these policies are typically not established beyond the most basic, simplistic measures. These problems can largely be mitigated by placing a forward-thinking approach to HR management, and making adjustments to compensate for the business’ current organizational structure, or lack thereof. There are a number of difficulties in the nature of HR decision-making that make implementation difficult. Human assets have features that differ from most other resources in the company, such as its final product and financial capital. Human performance is not easy to predict; it is very challenging to make a definitive case that a particular investment clearly leads to improvements in employees' performance, which then has a direct effect on the financial results of a company. At the same time, costs associated with people are much clearer. While the link from employee pay to employee attitudes to employee behaviors to customer perceptions...

...is the information is learned and retained, as you need it. The learned material is applied to real live situations and not just taught in a classroom setting. The individual is getting to learn as well as apply the information they learned. Continuous or life long learning is becoming the mantra of the knowledge age worker (O’Driscoll, 1999; Rose & Nicholl, 1997). In todays workplace employers are changing the responsibilities of their employees because of the technological advances. Individuals can no longer rely on a degree they earned several years ago or a training class they attended last month. Instead, individuals are increasingly expected to assume responsibility for their own learning. Just in time learning is also beneficial because it calls for redundancy, and provides the controversial learning style that is necessary in order to retain the information and preform at a high level. I believe just in time learning increases productivity because innovation in learning drives workforce productivity. With continuous on the job learning individuals are able to learn more effectively and increase productivity by applying new skills everyday. I am able to support this theory because in my current position I am constantly practicing the just in time learning theory. Each and everyday in my position I practice redundancy and am constantly undergoing training in order to improve my skills. I believe this is a worthwhile investment...

...management Nicola Capuano, Matteo Gaeta, Pierluigi Ritrovato and Saverio Salerno Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose an innovative approach for providing an answer to the emerging trends on how to integrate e-learning efficiently in the business value chain in medium and large enterprises. Design/methodology/approach – The proposed approach defines methodologies and technologies for integrating technology-enhanced learning with knowledge and human resources management based on a synergistic use of knowledge models, methods, technologies and approaches covering different steps of the knowledge life-cycle. Findings – The proposed approach makes explicit and supports, from the methodological, technological and organizational points of view, mutual dependencies between the enterprise’s organizational learning and the business processes, considering also their integration in order to allow the optimization of employees’ learning plans with respect to business processes and taking into account competencies, skills, performances and knowledge available inside the organization. Nicola Capuano, Matteo Gaeta, Pierluigi Ritrovato and Saverio Salerno are all ` based at the Universita di Salerno, Fisciano, Italy. Practical implications – This mutual dependency, bridging individual and organizational learning, enables an improvement loop to become a key aspect for successful business process improvement (BPI) and business process reengineering (BPR), enabling closure of, at the...
