...especially designed for the new employees at the bank or a practical on-the-job training program. This will give new employees the change to practice, observe others, ask questions, learn from mistakes and familiarize themselveswith the equipment that they are using. It is very important for the bank to utilize itsavailable resources. In this case the supervisor could have given her proper, on-the-jobtraining and informed and familiarized her with the name and function of the machinethat she operates. 2. Do you think setting up an HR unit in the main office would help? Of course I think itwould! Since there are HR-related problems both in the home office and in the branches, it isclear that if a personnel office were set up, it would need to help to coordinate the HRactivities in the branches. 3. What specific functions should it carry out? What HR functions would then be carriedout by supervisors and other line managers? What role should the Internet play in thenew HR organization? There is room for quite a bit of variation in the answers to thisquestion. Our suggested organization would include: HR Unit: job analyses, planning labor...

Television, DVDs, video games, the Internet, and smart phones all play a formative role in children’s development. The term ‘‘technology’’ subsumes a large variety of somewhat independent items, and it is no surprise that current research indicates causes for both optimism and concern depending upon the content of the technology, the context in which the technology immerses the user, and the user’s developmental stage. Furthermore, because the field is still in its infancy, results can be surprising: video games designed to be reasonably mindless result in widespread enhancements of various abilities, acting, we will argue, as exemplary learning tools. Counterintuitive outcomes like these, besides being practically relevant, challenge and eventually lead to refinement of theories concerning fundamental principles of brain plasticity and learning.

Why do some countries have high rates of inflation while others maintain stable prices? Why do all countries experience recessions and depressions—recurrent periods of falling incomes and rising unemployment—and how can government policy reduce the frequency and severity of these episodes? Macroeconomics, the study of the economy as a whole, attempts to answer these and many related questions. To appreciate the importance of macroeconomics, you need only read the newspaper or listen to the news. Every day you can see headlines such as INCOME GROWTH SLOWS, FED MOVES TO COMBAT INFLATION, or STOCKS FALL AMID RECESSION FEARS. Although these macroeconomic events may seem abstract, they touch all of our lives. Business executives forecasting the demand for their products must guess how fast consumers’ incomes will grow.
