...The Reaction of Corporate Human Resources Management to the Economic Crisis Finding the ways-out in HR KINGA ILONA BÁRDOSa - ERIKA VARGAb Dobó István Grammar School Széchenyi út 19, Eger 3300, Hungary cetebe@hotmail.com b Károly Róbert College Mátrai út 36, Gyöngyös 3200, Hungary evarga@karolyrobert.hu a T he cyclical movement of the economy is a natural process but, fortunately, a global economic crisis is a rare phenomenon. The credit crunch starting in September 2008 has grown into a global one primarily affecting car manufacturing and then it has its percussions in the whole economy-gradually reaching all the players. The crisis management in human resources implies layoffs, redundancies or shorter working hours and weeks. In many cases there were not wellthought corporate strategies for crisis management as managers as well as employees had to face a problem they had never experienced before. One of the corporate operative steps is to examine and realise how deeply the organisation itself is affected in the crisis. Our objective is to present what theoretical and practical solutions were or are invented besides the ones already mentioned. Keywords: crisis management, human resources management, atypical employment 1. About the crisis in general About a year ago the credit crunch became widespread primarily hitting the financial institutions worldwide and had its impacts felt in the motor industry reaching all players of the economic life. There were no companies...

File-based systems Traditional Data Models Semantic Data Models File-based Systems: Entities or objects of interest are represented by records that are stored together in files. Relationships between objects are represented by using directories of various kinds. RDBMS/Slide 3 Introduction Data Models Classification Traditional Data Models: Traditional data models are the Hierarchical, Network and Relational Models. Hierarchical Model:- Evolved from the file based system Network Model:- Is a superset of the Hierarchical model. Relational Model:- Is based on the mathematical concept of relation. Semantic Data Models: This class of data models was influenced by the semantic networks developed by artificial intelligence researchers. Semantic networks were developed to organize and represent general knowledge. These models are able to express greater interdependencies among entities. RDBMS/Slide 4 2 Introduction Common characteristics required for data models: A data model must show some degree of conceptual simplicity without compromising the semantic completeness. A data model must represent the real world as closely as possible. The...

...Attraction and Retention of Employees Human resources are deemed to be seen as vital for an institution and the framework with which it is engulfed is necessary for its performance in that ‘… while extraordinary products and unique services still afford a competitive advantage, the one advantage that stands the test of time…is people’ (Salsbury 2013, p. 1). Hence, industrial relations are paramount to nurture an environment of work that attracts and retains employees in distinctive, elating experiences and characteristics. In the article ‘Employee Attraction and Retention in the Australian Resources Sector’ there is a conceptualisation of the outer spectrums of the work place, in which employers initiate certain systems of work that are substantiated to increase productivity and efficiency in employment while establishing agendas to outweigh the complexities which cause a diminution of labour. Moreover, while trying to explain the multiple techniques of employment practices, Hutchings, De Cieri and Shea (2011) centralises arguments of work systems and various strategies to enhance performance. To validate its case, the article also uses various forms of methodology in order to portray a range of perspectives from the views of selected Human Resource Managers (HRM). Finally, an analytic view of the stated findings is provided taking into account the findings and conclusions from the cited article. Human Resource Managers have different views on how an institution can attract...

...Entrepreneurship 101 Funding Portal Search Tool Workshops 2688 3 Google + 1 1 0 Marketing mix: Kotler on marketing Marketing mix describes the set of tools that management can use to influence sales. The traditional formulation is called the 4Ps— product, price, place, and promotion. From the very beginning questions were raised about the 4P formulation of the marketing mix. Perfume companies wanted packaging to be added as a fifth P. 4P guardians said that packaging is already in the scheme, under product. Sales managers asked whether the sales force was left out because it began with an S. No, said the guardians, sales force is a promotion tool, along with advertising, sales promotion, public relations, and direct marketing. Service managers asked where services were in the marketing mix, or whether they, too, were excluded because the first letter was S. Here the guardians said services are part of the product. As services grew more important, service marketers suggested adding three Ps to the original 4Ps, namely personnel, procedures, and physical evidence. Thus a restaurant’s performance will depend on its staff, the process by which it serves food (buffet, fast food, tablecloths, etc.), and its physical looks and features as a restaurant. Others suggested adding personalization to the marketing mix. The marketer has to decide how personalized to make the product, the price, the place, and the promotion. In my own case, I suggested adding politics and public relations to the...

...sketches a list of rights and duties to be followed by individuals, public authorities, national governments, and the world community. Peace needs to be based on an order “founded on truth, built according to justice, vivified and integrated by charity, and put into practice in freedom.” Written during the first year of Vatican II, Peace on Earth was the first encyclical addressed to “all people of good will.” Issued shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and the erection of the Berlin Wall, this document spoke to a world aware of the dangers of nuclear war. Its optimistic tone and development of a philosophy of rights made a significant impression on Catholics and non-Catholics alike. DOCUMENT OUTLINE Order Between people Every human is a person, endowed with intelligence and free will, who has universal and inviolable rights and duties (#9). Rights • Rights to life and worthy standard of living, including rights to proper development of life and to basic security (#11). • Rights of cultural and moral values, including freedom to search for and express opinions, freedom of information, and right to education (#s 12-13). • Rights to religion and conscience (#14). • Rights to choose one’s state in life, including rights to establish a family and pursue a religious vocation (#s 15-16). • Economic rights, including right to work, to a just and sufficient wage, and to hold private property (#s 18-22). • Rights of meeting and association (#23). • Right to emigrate and immigrate...

...Professor Smith EN-101-137 10 September 2013 Summary of “Animal Suffering: Learning Not to Care and Not to Know” “Animal Suffering: Learning Not to Care and Not to Know,” by William Crain addresses the issue humans have created in relation to raising children and killing animals for meat. The topic of killing animals, even for food, is always in debate. It becomes evident at a young age that children have a profound love for animals. In a specific 1999 study performed by Psychologist David Foulkes, it was found that kids under the age of seven tend to dream about animals, in one way or another. Most children understand that animals are their own beings and should be treated with respect, but what they don’t understand is that meat comes from many of the animals they care about so deeply. When kids find out about animals dying in order for meat to be produced, they immediately want to become a vegetarian. Due to their ages, these decisions are highly irrational, but still require parents to spend hours convincing their kids to abandon vegetarianism. Animals and people struggle to live in peace together, and young children dream of a harmless world. There is not enough research on the subject matter of how children react to choices made by adults with respect to animals and food. Going through life allows children to transform from a caring child to a detached adult. This transformation is crucial to understand the practices and lifestyles followed by the human race. From late...

...THE AFRICAN PRINCE Justifying African State Leaders’ Decisions Through Machiavellian Realism Safir Jamal Copyright 2008 – All Rights Reserved THE AFRICAN PRINCE Safir Jamal Ambrose Bierce defined politics as “the conduct of public affairs for private advantage” (Jansson 468). When this nineteenth century American journalist expressed such a sardonic view about the art of governance, he alluded to the inseparability of politics and self-interest. This inseparability forms the foundation of classical realism, a prominent international relations theory that attests that human nature is self-serving, sinful and wicked. Such traits ultimately help to explain why all actors endeavour to satisfy their individual intentions (Sens 14). While principles of self-interest are central to the classical realist theory, it is the importance of power that has become widely synonymous with the realist perspective. Defined as the ability to make other actors do what they would not otherwise do, the pursuit of power is an instinctive desire of all individuals (Singer 81). One individual in particular, Niccolo Machiavelli, had arguably the most profound understanding in history of the importance of power (Kuper 1). In his acclaimed treatise The Prince, Machiavelli, a 15th century Florentine diplomat, advised state leaders – or princes – on effective approaches to statecraft. As an extension of classical realism, Machiavellian views have proven to be timeless and universal, as they have...

Bello, Chair, Dept. of Economics The College of Economics and Management (CEM) was formally created in the 996th UP-BOR meeting, February 1987. However, the College traces its roots to the Institute of Agricultural Development and Administration (IADA)which was established in 1975, with three departments – Agricultural Economics (DAE), Economics (DE), and Management (DM), and was elevated to the College of Economics and Management from the merger of IADA with the Agricultural Credit and Cooperative Studies and the Agrarian Reform Institute in 1978. At present, CEM is composed of three departments – the Department of Agricultural Economics, the Department of Economics and the Department of Agribusiness Management. The college sees itself as a center of excellence in undergraduate and graduate instruction, research and extension in economics, agricultural and applied economics, and agribusiness management in Asia. It envisions to be an institution of higher learning that can serve as an active catalyst for economic and social transformation.

Law moderates our day–to-day lives with regards to human relationships. It has various concepts to it; company law, property law, trust law, criminal law, constitutional law, administrative law, international law, and civil law.
