Taking initiative and being responsible for one’s own actions, making clear and quick decision, doing the research to find the facts and not taking another’s word for it. The person may sound intelligent and their body and facial language plays a big part in persuading a person on to their side, as they mentioned in Chapter 5 euphemisms and dysphemisms can affect our decision making as well.

...of rapid technological change. Other hand, Human capital ultimate objectives are linking HR practices and knowledge with goals of the firm to achieve and develop Competitive advantages. Accordingly, linking both statements would generate that HC is not only working to achieve the organizations objectives and but also to formalize, maintain and develop the firm dynamic capabilities. HC should also work on sharing and collecting success stories, lessons learnt and implicit individuals' knowledge into institutional explicit knowledge. The competitive advantage of firms is seen as resting on distinctive processes (ways of coordinating and combining which is more difficult among horizontal levels but easy in the vertical levels applying the chain of command), shaped by the firm's asset positions (such as the firm's portfolio of difficult-to-trade knowledge assets and complementary assets), and the evolution path(s) it has adopted or inherited. The importance of path dependencies is ampled where conditions of increasing returns exist. Whether and how a firm's competitive advantage is eroded depends on the stability of market demand, and the ease of replicability (expanding internally) and imitatability (replication by competitors). If correct, the framework suggests that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technological change depends in large measure on honing internal...

...HRM is the responsibility of every manager. Human Resource Management refers to the policies and practices involved in carrying out the people or the human resource aspects of a management position and are defined as the process of acquiring, training, appraising and compensating employees, and attending to their labor relations, health and safety, and fairness concerns. The components of Human Resource Management are Selection, Motivation, Productivity, Trade Unions, Training, Rewards System, Development, Discipline, Employment Legislation and Recruitment. Basic Human Resource concept states that HR creates value by engaging in activities that produce the employee behaviors that the company needs to achieve its strategic goals. The intensely competitive nature of business today means human resource managers must defend their plans and contributions in measurable terms. Current economic challenges require that HR managers develop new and better skills to effectively and efficiently deliver and manage HR services. The personnel aspects of a HR manager’s job include conducting job analysis, planning labor needs and recruiting job candidates, selecting job candidates, orienting and training new employees, managing wages and salaries, providing incentives and benefits, appraising performance, communicating, training and developing managers, and building employee commitment. Also, the HR manager’s today should also know and be concerned about notions such as equal opportunity and affirmative...

...state. Policies for tuition can be delicate balancing acts due to state legislatures needing to avoid negative outcomes such as students forgoing education or declining educational quality in institutions (Weeden 2015). The drawback of this policy is the visibility of rationalizing decisions. Many may assume a higher tuition bill is equivalent to a higher quality of education, but often these fees fund amenities to entice students into attending from technology expansion to operating an athletic department (Weeden 2015). What should be understood from adopting any policy is that college institutions are business models with various sources of income from $76 billion in direct state support for public institutions to private donations or research grants (Sobel, 85). A counterexample to the point of higher standards and prices would be community colleges. Here, students earn a degree within two years at more affordable rates is efficient for low-income regions (Shaw & Rab, 173). These institutions are a link between education and employment as well as secondary and post-secondary education. However, they are more susceptible than four-year institutions to an unstable funding base that can be subjected to political pressure (Shaw & Rab, 173). An issue arising from this instability is the unpredictability of reliance for areas lagging in economic performance that could stand to benefit from having a network of these in the demographic region (Rephann, 455).

...manufacturing based to knowledge based economy. Many organizations’ competitive advantage now stems more from their human assets (Bal et al., 2013). This concept of integrating business strategy and human resource management is called strategic human resource management where it gradually became well known in the 1980s (Azmi, 2011) This paper discusses evidences related to links between corporate strategies and human resource management and issues that needs to be identified for the link to work effectively. According to Liao (2005), “a strategy is an integrated and coordinated set of commitments and actions designed to exploit core competencies and gain competitive advantage”. Whereas, strategic human resource management involves creating and applying a set of internally consistent guidelines and practises that safeguard a firm’s human capital, which directly contributes to the achievement of its corporate goals (Baird & Meshoulam, 1988). Bal et al. (2013) describe this approach of linking business concept and HRM practices as “bridging” between business strategy and utilization of its human resources. The main reason for the necessity of this linkage is that rather than HRM strategies being separate priorities, the integration allow employees to be managed more effectively allowing growth of the skill base of an organization (Holbeche, 2004). The theory of business strategy originates predominantly from...

...Neuromarketing: The New Frontier of Marketing Throughout our class discussions and papers written, we have debated opposing arguments about the ethical repercussions of marketing to children. In this paper I have decided to take it to an alternative level and evaluate the forefront of marketing, where it is heading, how it works, and attempt to bridge the gap on how this form of research affect children of various ages. Along with all of this, another debatable topic is the moral and ethical issues faced with this expanding sect of marketing. Neuromarketing: What is it? Neuromarketing is a new field of marketing research that studies consumers' sensorimotor, cognitive, and affective response to marketing stimuli. According to some, neuromarketing will change market research and marketing fundamentally. This new form of research is derived from the argument that people don't and can't really know what motivates them, because much of our mental processes are unconscious. However, the truth is that most decisions do involve both automatic, instinctive reactions, and elements of control and consideration. Tools of Neuromarketing: There are many tools used in the study of neuroscience to determine specific chemical changes as well as neurological changes in the human brain. It is the understanding that the researcher’s use of these tools can measure various levels of change in the human body when visually confronted with images and/or video clips. The results of these...

...Business600: Strategic Management Process Literature Review Keyona Henderson Liberty University July 04, 2014 Strategic Management Process Introduction The strategic management process is more than just simple rules. It is a rational approach used in businesses. It starts with management thinking strategically, then applying steps and thought to a process. This process should be understood by everyone in the business. Although it starts with upper management, it should be implemented throughout the entire business and everyone should be included. According to Popescu, in the International Conference on Management and Industrial Engineering “The process of strategic management consists of an ongoing analysis, decisions, and actions activities to create and sustain competitive advantages in order to obtain desired competitive position and achieve strategic objectives”(Popescu,2013). This process is not one simple step and can be complex. It is not a onetime occurrence and can happen multiple times. The ongoing analysis, decisions, and actions that are performed should include all people involved. Everyone should be on the same page throughout the strategic management process. Goal Setting It is important for any business to set goals. Goals give businesses a purpose. It helps to organize the direction in which a business should take. Businesses should always have goals and let the goals be clear. Goals should be clear to both managers and employees. Short term and...
