...Robinson-Riegler (2008), learning is a natural task carried out by humans to facilitate better and more fulfilling life development. In general, human beings learn through, observation or even through other classical methods. Humans learn how to adapt to specific disciplines as well as how to ignore some unnecessary responsive stimulus though classical methods. However, in applying the available learning methods, human beings must pass through a comprehensive cognitive process. There are several types of stimulus or cognitive processes common in human growth and development. Different people employ the available cognitive processes at different times in their life time. The identification of the common cognitive processes as well as their purpose in human development is exceptionally decisive in facilitating the understanding of human cognitive development. Common Cognitive Processes By referring to Robinson-Riegler and Robinson-Riegler (2008), the first main cognitive process is perception. Perception entails the front-end process which helps in the organization and interpretation of the received information. Perception is usually based on auditory information as well as visual information. Perception is acquired through observation and listening to the emerging information, as well as organization of the received information in human mind.

...Introduction This paper entails the critical analysis on the Global Mining (GM) case study whereby the human resource (HR) related issues are identified through GM’s problems and a provision of 3 HR strategies targeting at 3 key HR issues. This paper also address the possible implementation challenges that GM may face so as to mitigate them. However, detailed implementation approaches of these strategies are beyond the scope of this paper. HR Strategies There are growing evidence of positive impact HR strategies have on organisational effectiveness and performance (Boselie, Dietz and Boon 2005; Combs et al. 2006; Guest et al. 2003; Huang 2000). Lee, Lee and Wu (2010) quoted Mondy et al. (2002) on the boundary of HR strategies to include five key functions: staffing, human resource development, compensation and benefits, safety and health, and employee and labour relations. Based on Lee, Lee and Wu (2010)’s own study, which extended Mondy et al. (2002)’s HR strategies to include teamwork, HR planning, performance appraisal and employment security, they concluded that HR strategies do attribute to a company’s performances. The espousals of HR strategies are critical in motivating employees’ commitment towards corporate’s strategic objectives (Buller and McEvoy 2012). GM’s HR Director, Susan Maffat, commented on unclear HR strategy offers an indication of GM’s poor or ineffective/inefficient HR strategies. The following problems currently faced by GM are the manifestation of...

...Development of Human Capital in Organizations [First name of the author appears here] [Name of the course appears here] [Date of submission appears here] Human Capital Development: Issue of Reducing Income Inequality Introduction Human capital is the set of skills, talents, skills, experiences accumulated by an individual which determine their ability to produce for themselves or for others. Human capital theory works by analogy to that of financial or physical capital. It is considered that human capital is composed of three elements that together determine a certain ability of an individual to work: namely, skills, experiences and knowledge. Human capital can be developed through continuing education and attention to the health of an individual. The inclusion of human capital in the economic analysis is an important step. It is generally theorized that accumulation of human capital is a key driver of economic growth. According to economists, dissemination of knowledge to general population allows increasing returns and generates positive externalities. Therefore, it is a central concept of development economics that investment in human capital should be the foremost priority of developing countries. Foreign direct investment refers to international movement of capital across national boundaries. This may take the shape of creation of a subsidiary abroad or to exercise control on the management of a company in another country. The effects of FDI are generally considered...

...Journal of International Business and Cultural Studies Human resource accounting and international developments: implications for measurement of human capital Maria L. Bullen Clayton State University Kel-Ann Eyler Wesleyan College Abstract Human Resource Accounting (HRA) involves accounting for expenditures related to human resources as assets as opposed to traditional accounting which treats these costs as expenses that reduce profit. Interest and contributions to growth in HRA have been evident in a number of countries. The strong growth of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) is an indication that the environment for international financial accounting is one that potentially encourages the consideration of alternative measurement and reporting standards and lends support to the possibility that future financial reports may include nontraditional measurements such as the value of human resources using HRA methods. Keywords: Human Resource Accounting, Human Capital, Intellectual Capital, International Accounting, International Financial Reporting, International Financial Reporting Standards Human Resource Accounting, Page 1 Journal of International Business and Cultural Studies Introduction Human Resource Accounting (HRA) involves accounting for the company’s management and employees as human capital that provides future benefits. In the HRA approach, expenditures related to human resources are reported as assets on the balance sheet as opposed to the...
