Such research requires the formation of a “research question” with a narrow focus to facilitate in-depth exploration and often entails a blend of field and literary research. You can elect to do primarily field or literary research. Some suggested topics are below, but you are encouraged to find one which excites your intellect and/or is relevant to your future business career. FIELD RESEARCH – requires contacting a company or companies, identifying their current HR policy issues or HR concerns, selecting only one, developing a list of interview questions based on a brief review of research in that HR area, and then conducting an interview to explore the matter in depth. It is NOT merely a report of the conversational narrative of the interview. It is a thorough critique with recommendation for improvement. 1.

...Available at: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/globalpeople/resourcebank/researchpapers Achieving Mutual Understanding for Effective Intercultural Management Helen Spencer-Oatey Centre for Applied Linguistics, University of Warwick WORKING PAPER Abstract Purpose – To introduce an approach to managing intercultural communication that is effective for achieving mutual understanding among people in culturally complex situations. Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes a ‘meaning negotiation’ approach to the intercultural communication process. It argues against a generalised ‘differences/adaptation’ approach, and maintains that people need to interact in contextually sensitive ways. Findings – The paper outlines a set of strategies that can help people in intercultural interaction contexts negotiate and agree the messages they are trying to convey. It draws them together into a conceptual framework of intercultural communication competencies. Research limitations/implications – The paper only focuses on the communication of messages, not the use of language to manage relationships. It also does not attempt to suggest practical techniques for helping managers and their staff develop competence in using the strategies. Practical implications – Since mutual understanding is achieved through meaning negotiation, it is important for managers and their staff to know how this takes place and to develop a communication strategy for implementing it. Social implications...

...Introduction In this unit of study, one of the assessment items requires you to complete a concept map. It is anticipated that this module will assist you in how to develop concept maps, by providing you with the theoretical background, but also the practical means as to how to construct a concept map. In this unit of study they have been included to assist students with understanding and interpreting complex altered physiology and how this may manifest in patients. Concept maps are constructs that assist students with understanding complex material. They are graphical representations of concepts that deal with specific subject matter (Novak and Canas, 2008; All and Havens, 1997). The word ‘concept’ means ‘a general notion or idea, or scheme or plan’. With this in mind, concept maps are constructions of successive concepts that assist in developing a compendium for developing knowledge and understanding about a more complex concept or concepts. Concept maps are especially helpful for health professional student learning by providing a visual ‘road map’ of patient conditions. They may be used to understand the underlying altered physiology and pathophysiological processes that have occurred in patients, or used to develop management strategies, such as nursing practice. For instance, when patients develop an increase in core temperature often they have an increase in heart rate that coincides with the hyperthermic state. The relationship between one concept (increased core...

...A new paradigm in management training Dr J. A. MacAskill, Dean, Dr Muhammad Farmer, Director St James’s Business School, 23 King Street, London SW1Y 6QY INTRODUCTION Graduates, perhaps at no other time in an economic cycle, require the ability to integrate and transfer their conceptual understanding to novel situations in a practical way. The context in which one learns is a formative experience in promoting knowledge transfer. If knowledge is taught in one dimension then it intrinsically places a barrier to adaptive and flexible learning and its application. Alternatively, knowledge acquisition taught in multiple contexts promotes a student’s ability to assimilate, analyse, articulate and implement action plans. This ability to extract knowledge and abstract the concepts and principles relevant to any given situation is undoubtedly promoted through a more flexible multi-context presentation of knowledge. Furthermore, in a management and leadership development context it presents information in a form that will be more relevant to executive work patterns and operational requirements. In an educational sense this requires commonality of experience and the conceptual frameworks of the learners and their tutors to ensure that the ability to move easily between the cognitive elements being described and the desired practical outcome is achievable. At the centre of British Institute of Technology and E-commerce (BITE) educational philosophy lies the concept of...

...Economic growth is increases in output. It can occur if previously unemployed resources are employed, there are more resources or existing resources improve in quality (Grant and Stanlake, 2000:285). According to the report, the economic gap between the north and the south of the United Kingdom was significantly enlarged in 10 years (White, 2015). Regional outcomes in Britain have exhibited strong signs of divergence and asymmetries on the basis of a North-South divide for over twenty years (lse.ac.uk, 2006). The purpose of this essay is to examine the regional imbalance in the United Kingdom. After first explaining measurable growth by some economic theories, it will analyse actual and potential growth by drawing business cycle and LRAS diagrams. Next, it will analyse the reasons for regional imbalance. Finally, it will evaluate actual supply side policies. Real GDP measures the value of goods and services produced at constant prices, the change of the real GDP only reflects the change of the quantity of production. In addition, people prefer to use real GDP than nominal GDP because real GDP reflects the economy’s ability to satisfy people’s needs and desires (Mankiw and Taylor, 2011:496-497). According to below graph, it shows that UK economy has experienced up-and-down swings in the years since 2003. Before 2008, growth more stable between 0.2 and 1.8 per quarter. However, GDP is more unpredictable after 2009. (Source: BBC news, 2015) The first type is actual growth which...

...Corporate Culture By: Joanne Mowat, The Herridge Group {Insert Date} Corporate Culture Abstract As an executive, identifying, understanding, and influencing the organizational culture can ensure corporate agility and financial success. As a potential employee, catching a glimpse of the true culture of an organization will help one decide if the company is a place where one can contribute and flourish. In both cases, misunderstanding the culture can lead to disaster. Corporate cultures have both gross and subtle manifestations that provide clues to the underlying norms and beliefs. Paying attention to the work practices, environment, communication paths, and even the level of humour in a company, will give one a hint of the dominant organizational culture. Identification and understanding the culture is necessary to affect any minute or large scale changes in response to market imperatives. If one does not have a clear picture of the culture one cannot effectively modify it. This paper touches on four key questions in relation to corporate culture: • • • • What is corporate culture? Why is it important to understand the corporate culture? How can one identify the corporate culture? Can corporate cultures be changed? 09/03/2002 2 Corporate Culture What is Corporate Culture?
