...BACKGROUND Over the past several decades, an increasing number of human resource managers in the public sector realized that, for a variety of reasons, they needed to upgrade their information system. Once they chose to follow the path of IS conversion, they became aware of many of the same challenges that others have faced in similar circumstances. Some managers began to realize that their projects began to spiral out of control into the realm of failure sometimes without their understanding the reasons why, in turn wasting vast sums of taxpayer dollars in the process. The public sector has had to take a step forward in recent decades from the older and usually slower legacy systems that they relied on for previous decades to systems that were promoted as more efficient and definitely more complex. A vast array of knowledge, tools, and options has become available to managers that are progressing through what is usually a long and uncertain conversion process. The process of managing people is not easy, whether they are few or many. Management of firms of accountants and consultants need to be certain that the right team of specialists is in the right place at the right time, over and over again. Information internal to the organization is important for enabling the organization to attack the opportunities in the environment. If it is not available, managers take uninformed decisions which are likely to lead to poor achievement of goals. Ready access to accurate and...

First, by the very definition, the infantry and cavalry division of military service personnel requires a special mindset. It requires a person who understands that their life as well as others will be in a dangerous state and at any stage of conflict that has to be a mindset that the individual will be comfortable with. Regardless of the company for which one works, the staffing portion of any career is one of the most critical pieces to making the overall job a true success. Without the right people in the right positions, an organization will have a difficult time working properly. Manufacturing The division of the military that I am most comfortable with does not necessarily have a direct manufacturing part to the equation; the equipment that is needed to supply the soldiers is of critical importance. The most important thing that needs to happen from a manufacturing standpoint is that the equipment and supplies that are critical to a soldier’s survivability are readily available and reflects the job that is required. There are many levels of equipment that are needed to complete certain jobs. Most of the manufacturing, as expected, is...

...Microsoft: Competing on Talent (A) In the summer of 1999, a front page Wall Street Journal article was attracting attention on the Redmond campus. Under the headline “As Microsoft Matures, Some Top Talent Chooses to Go Off Line,” the article reported: “Tired of grueling deadlines, frustrated by the bureaucracy that has accompanied Microsoft’s explosive growth, or lured away by the boom in high-tech start-ups, dozens of the company’s most capable leaders, all around 40, have opted out—at least temporarily . . .”i (See Exhibit 1 for the article’s list of senior level departures.) Steve Ballmer, the company’s recently appointed president and COO, was quoted as saying that some of the departures were voluntary and some were not, opening opportunities for fresher, smarter replacements. “We have a bench that is very deep,” he said. “We have people who are fired up—driven—to lead the next generation.”ii Yet despite the positive outlook, Ballmer clearly recognized that Microsoft had to change or adapt some of the human resource practices that had allowed it to assemble and retain what CEO Bill Gates proudly called “the best team of software professionals the world has ever seen.” Just six weeks before the WSJ article was published, Ballmer had announced a package of changes that sweetened salaries, allowed more frequent promotions, and softened some of the pressures that had long been part of the ”hard-core” Microsoft culture. Still, there were some who wondered if the rumblings...
