...attribute which is the weight, so it is the lightest smartphone. It is the most expensive at $649 in comparison to the other smartphones being priced ranging from $449 to $579. That makes the iPhone 5 about $100 more expensive, yet it is basically the lowest ranked with respect to the selected attributes. In some attributes like CPU speed and the megapixels of the camera it is close to the other phones listed. According to the table given with attributes of smartphones I believe that iPhone 5 is not well positioned compared to the competitors. The iPhone 5 is the lowest ranking in every category listed except for the weight of the phone itself. The other competitors have better numbers and they are all listed at a cheaper price. The Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Sony Xperia ZL are the top ranking in the positioning map. iPhone 5 should be worried about these competitors because they have better functioning skills and have higher attributes including have a lower price.

To know basic approach to Job Evaluation. 2. To importance of Job Evaluation and its effectiveness. 3. To know the important methods of Job Evaluation. Now friends we will discuss about how jobs used to be evaluated in an organization; if somebody having any idea about it please start explaining it; this can be explained in the following way. Job evaluation is the process of analyzing and assessing the various jobs systematically to ascertain their relative worth in an organization. Job is evaluated on the basis of their content and is placed in the order of their importance. It should be noted that in a job evaluation programme, the jobs are ranked and not the jobholders. Jobholders are rated through performance appraisal. “Job evaluation is a process of finding out the relative worth of a job as compared to other jobs” Now, who is going to explain the objectives of job evaluation? The following objectives are derived from the analysis of the above-mentioned definitions: 1) To gather data and information relating to job description, job specification and employee specifications for various jobs in an organization. 2) To compare the duties, responsibilities and demands of a job with that of other jobs. 3) To determine the hierarchy and place of various jobs in an organization. 4) To determine the ranks or grades...

...Job evaluation is defined as a systematic process of determining the relative worth of jobs in relation to other job in order to establish which jobs should be paid more than others within an organization (Snell & Bohlander, 2010). The goal of job evaluation is to achieve internal equity during the salary system formation. In other word, job evaluation means the process of objectively determining the relative worth of jobs within an organization. It involves a systematic study and analysis of job duties and requirements. The evaluation is based on a number of compensable factors. Job evaluation can measure the value of all jobs within an organization and produces a rank order ranging from entry level positions to the most senior positions within an organization. It provides a framework to administer pay. The purpose of job evaluation is to helps established internal equity between various jobs in which wage paid is equal to the value of the job. When establishing the worth of a position, issues of internal equity are considered. Internal equity is defined as fairness in the relationship of a job’s salary range when compared with the salary ranges of similar jobs within the organization. The salary range for a job is considered internally equitable if the salary is commensurate with responsibility level of the position. It is important that a job evaluation is felt to be fair by everyone in the organisation. Effective communication, ongoing consultation and transparency are...

...and place them in a hierarchy that will reflect the relative worth of each. There are four general job evaluation methods. Ranking method The description of each job being evaluated and arrange the jobs in order according to their value to the company. This method requires a committee – typically composed of both management and employee representative – to arrange join a simple rank order from highest to lowest. No attempts are made to break down the jobs by specific weighted criteria. The committee members merely compare two jobs and judge which one is more important, or more difficult to perform. Then they compare the other job with the first two, and so on until all the jobs have been evaluated and ranked. The most obvious limitation to the ranking method is its sheer inability to be managed when there are a large number of jobs. Other drawbacks to be considered are the subjectivity of the method- there are no definite or consistent standards by which to justify the rankings- and the fact that because jobs are only ranked in terms of order, we have no knowledge of the distance between the ranks. Factor comparison method: In this the entire job in mind as they evaluate; instead, they makedecisions on separate aspects, or factors, of the job. A basic underlying assumption isthat there are five universal job factors: (1) Mental Requirements. (2) Skills. (3) Physical Requirements. (4) Responsibilities. (5) Working Conditions.

...Question 1. What's your opinion regarding forced ranking performance appraisals? Do they motivate employees? Explain. I believe forced ranking performance appraisals can be motivating for some employees and not motivating for others. Individuals with strong high-order needs who know that they will be ranked come appraisal time will strive and perform in order to achieve the highest rank possible. Other individuals with weak high-order needs might not strive for a high rank. I believe these individuals might even perform below their ability because of perceptions (i.e. "why should I work harder because so and so will get a higher rank than me anyway"). Even though I have consistently ranked high whenever evaluated under a forced ranked system in the past, I personally do not like forced ranked performance appraisals and believe they can cause an organization more harm and be less productive because of the system. I served in the U.S. Navy from 1994 until 1999. During that time I was evaluated annually by my superior(s) in a quasi forced ranked performance appraisal system. At that time in the Navy there were three evaluation marks a sailor could receive: Promotable (average), Must Promote (above average) and Early Promote (Outstanding). The evaluation one would receive weighed heavily on the sailor's likelihood of being promoted to the next rank/pay grade at the next promotion cycle, which also occurred annually several months after the evaluations were given....

...Executive summary Management Concerns in 2011 Vitality Health Enterprises, a medium-sized firm that manufactures health and personal care products, has experienced six straight quarters of strong revenue growth. James Hoffman, the new Senior Vice President of Human Resources, fears that the chain of success is shifting the company's focus away from effective performance management. Recently, Vitality has been faced with increasing turnover among the company's talented research scientists that may be due to a performance management system that leaves top performing employees slighted by the practice of uniform ratings. In an effort to retain top employees, the company institutes a forced distribution model of performance rankings, moving from an absolute ranking system to a relative one. Hoffman and his performance management evaluation team must assess the practical and strategic effectiveness of the new system and present their findings and recommendations to the Board. Original Performance Management System (Till 2009) Due to decreasing earnings in 2009, the company decided to adopt a new business strategy that would focus on:- 1. Adopting cost-cutting measures 2. Reviewing the current performance management system and making it coherent so as to increase employee accountability and motivation Till 2009, the company used a PMS which had 13 different rating levels (A-E and pluses and minuses) and managers were asked to rate employees on the scale based on their individual...

...Answer 3 Geneva could obtain a salary increase through broad banding. Broad banding refers to the collapsing of job clusters or tiers of positions into a few wide bands to manage career growth and deliver pay (World at Work. This important tool allows an organization to establish a job worth ranking system and provide maximum rate of pay limitations for each job through pay structures. Geneva’s position could be compressed into another pay band with a higher maximum rate of compensation. Such a task should prove less difficult for a secretary’s role. Geneva could be cross trained for another position and develop a more comprehensive base of workforce skills. This analysis will also show how internal equity and external competitiveness are achieved. Keith was correct in his assertion that personalities could not be considered. Bob and Rita were about to overstep their authority and perform a job analysis that was better left to Geneva’s immediate supervisor. Keith’s insistence that the secretary job be evaluated rather than Geneva Hayes was in alignment with the true purpose of a job evaluation. Answer 4 The job evaluation process emphasizes focus on the specifics of a position. p. Assume Geneva is earning the maximum of the range for her pay grade and Leeper’s policy is that a salary increase cannot be given if it will cause an employee’s salary to be above the maximum of the range. Within range promotions allow for Geneva to have a higher level of responsibility and authority...

To begin, select the value that is of most importance to you. Write the number 1 in the blank space next to that value. Next, choose the value is of second in importance to you and write the number 2 in the blank next to it. Work your way through the list until you have ranked all 18 values on this page. The value that is of least importance to you should appear in Box 18. When you have finished ranking all 18 values, turn the page and rank the next 18 values in the same way. Please do each page separately. When ranking, take your time and think carefully. Feel free to go back and change your order should you have second thoughts about any of your answers. When you have completed the ranking of both sets of values, the result should represent an accurate picture of how you really feel about what’s important in your life.

...having the keyword in the title, but it will be much more difficult. 2. Use the keyword towards the top of the page in a bold (or large) font. If you’re using WordPress or Blogger to create your site, this will be taken care of for you by using your keyword in your post title. If you’re creating a site in hard HTML, make sure you use your keyword as part of a bold title at the top of the page. 3. Use the keyword within the text of the page. Many SEO sites will tell you that you must use a certain percentage of keyword density to achieve optimum rankings. In my experience this isn’t true. However, it’s wise to use the keyword two or three times on the page. If you have an exceptionally large amount of text on the page (more than 1,000 words), you can get away with using the keyword more often. 4. Use at least 300 words of total text on the page. You can of course get a ranking with less textual content. Actually, you can get a ranking with no content at all. However, this will make it much more difficult. If we’re going for optimal pages, they need to have 300+ words of content. 5. Use the keyword in a link that points to another related page. This aspect is easily taken care of by...

...productivity and performance in the workplace. In introducing a new wellness program I am proposing that our organization implements the stress management technique of Visualization in the workplace. This is a technique that is very minimal in cost because it can virtually be done anywhere and will enable employees to benefit on a personal level as well as a professional level. People who visualize their future will develop less or no resistance to changes that correspond to their visualizations. Visualizations create positive energy, inspiration and focus. (Kerklaan, 2011) In this paper I will provide an analysis of how I would have possibly responded to other stress management techniques along with their personal effectiveness while ranking them techniques. How do you think you would have responded to other stress management techniques?

...most responsible for the failing grade that she received. Ultimately, it was Adrian’s choice and decision to use work that was not created by herself. It is clear that Adrian thought through this process and made the decision to use a paper written by someone other than herself. Violet is next in the ranking for most responsible for the failing grade. Violet’s role in this situation included the emailing and sharing of the prewritten paper. She was the individual who gave the idea of using or purchasing a paper written by someone other than Adrian. Louise is next in the ranking. Louise provided the prewritten paper to Violet which is what Adrian used and received the failing grade. If she hadn’t provided this paper to Violet, which was forwarded to Adrian, it’s possible that Adrian would not have used a prewritten paper. Professor Johnston ranks number four. The professor posted his late policy prior to this occurrence. He made it clear to Adrian that he was unable to make any exceptions regarding his late policy when she asked for an extension. This made Adrian aware of the consequences if she were to submit a late assignment. Dean Richards is next in the ranking. He played an even smaller role in the failing grade. His role includes promoting and enforcing the Academic Integrity Policy. Although Professor Johnston escalated the situation to the Dean, the Dean ultimately determined that the paper was purchased and confirmed that Adrian violated the University’s...

...Cluster Analysis Livia Dancelli, Marica Manisera, and Marika Vezzoli Abstract When the aim is to group rankings, matching-type measures must be used in cluster analysis techniques. Among these, rank-based correlation coefficients, as the Spearman’s ρ , can be considered. To this regard, we think that Weighted Rank Correlation measures are remarkably useful, since they evaluate the agreement between two rankings emphasizing the concordance on top ranks. In this paper, we employ an appropriate Weighted Rank Correlation measure to evaluate the dissimilarity between rankings in a hierarchical cluster analysis, in order to segment subjects expressing their preferences by rankings. An illustrative example on selected rankings shows that the resulting groups contain subjects whose preferences are more similar on the most important ranks. The procedure is then applied to real data from an extensive 2011 survey carried out in the Italian McDonald’s restaurants. Key words: rank-based correlation coefficients, matching-type measures, hierarchical cluster analysis 1 Introduction Cluster analysis aims at identifying groups of individuals or objects that are similar to each other but are different from individuals in other groups (among others, [4]). This is useful, for example, in market segmentation studies, also when consumers’ preferences are expressed by grades, leading to rankings of products or services provided by individuals. In this situations, standard clustering techniques are...
