In our learning team’s paper, we will discuss some of the factors that affect the functions of management in a global environment.

...Process Managment Description Process Management includes a myriad of activities: insuring that a product or service is of high quality, choosing the appropriate design and technology for producing a good or service, planning and controlling the flow of materials or customers so that lead times are minimized, and distributing finished goods or services. Relevant decisions range from how much material to order for making a product, to determining how much capacity is needed to provide a good level of service, to evaluating which technology will best meet a company's needs. In short, this course focuses primarily on developing and applying tools and techniques to ensure that the right products and resources are at the right place at the right time so as to maximize profit within a business process or supply chain. The “products” could be either goods, services, or both; and the “resources” could be either material, people, money, information, or any combination of the four. In the first part of this course, we will focus on process design and improvement issues by studying the relationships between key process parameters such as capacity and throughput, and by analyzing processes in order to identify and eliminate bottlenecks. And, in the second part of the course, we will focus on process coordination issues by studying methods for the efficient planning and controlling of critical resources. Specific objectives are: • To describe an operating system or a business process...

...instinctive leadership qualities and traits; many people can become great leaders with the training, earned respect and situations or environment. This paper will also discuss what makes an effective leader. Paper Section Whether great leaders are born or are they made is a greatly debated subject. Some people are certainly born with leadership instinct(s) that may never be fully realized and developed. Others may have traits that may not be traditionally thought of as natural born leader traits but they possess other skills and the desire to lead that can turn them into an effective leader. "Leaders are developed. Leadership is nothing more than a collection of skills, that when employed, produces results." (Garic, 2006) In today's ever-changing job market and economy, many leaders and many types of effective leaders will be needed. Leadership development is the way to mold various personal traits: personality, talent, honesty, ability, sincerity, skill, confidence, integrity, into a good leader. As Pace states: "There are no set rules for what makes a good leader, but most successful leaders can draw on several qualities to help them lead." (Pace, 2006) Leaders draw on personal experience, as well as, training, knowledge and reflection of others' experience. Learning leadership can be illustrated thusly: Experience +New Knowledge + Reflection (with support & feedback) + TIME (more practice/experience) = Leadership Growth and Development (Ruvolo, Petersen, &...

Seeing others happy is more important to me so I often compromise to insure everyone gets a little of something they want. When there is a breakdown in communication, I try to understand other people’s point of view. I am creative and seek to find solutions that are outside of the box and value other people’s opinions. Making sure I take time for myself and family is extremely important to me.

...ethical and moral and that once they are hired by Apple that they would not go to their competitors to disclose any of the trade secrets that make Apple one of the top technology companies in the world. Apple can use the LinkedIn networking site to study candidates past work history and their previous job performance since one of the best predictors of performance is to study the candidate’s past work history. They should look for candidate’s who have an impeccable track record. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright 2011, p. 153). • Describe the recruiter traits and behaviors that would lead to the most successful recruiting campaign for Apple. Apple can use teams instead of just using one individual recruiter. This would be a more useful approach since with a team there would be less subjective experiences and it would reduce the effect of biases. Apple should use recruiters who embody the company values and ideals. Apple prides itself on innovation, creativity and thinking outside of the box and they should hire recruiters who most closely embody those ideals. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright 2011, p. 153). • Suggest three (3) ways that Apple can effectively plan for HR resources. Rank in order of cost to implement.
