Discussion – Week 3 COLLAPSE Knowledge Management Site One

Week 3: Human Resources and KM


Introduction

According to Sidney Poitier, keynote speaker at the Society for Human Resources Management Conference held in Chicago in June 2008, “Our lives must be much more and deeper than what we see on the surface. When surface appearances become all we see, then they will become all we know.”

Knowledge management (KM) deals with the information each individual carries and shares to enrich others. KM also deals with creating a communal learning and work environment in which each individual helps the other learn and prosper. The human resource department primarily works toward retaining employees, nurturing the employees’ relationships with the organization, providing corporate education, and creating a holistic environment in which employees can work and prosper. Considering this, we can safely say that the human resource department has a huge role to play in the development of KM. The question that arises is, how?

This week, you will become familiar with the role of human resource managers in implementing KM programs. You will understand the need for integrating KM and human resource management initiatives in an organization. You will also analyze different strategies that human resource managers deploy to develop KM.


Learning Outcomes

By the end of this week, you will be able to:

  • Evaluate the role of motivation, leadership, and culture within a learning organization.
  • Evaluate the challenges of employee behavior with respect to sharing or hoarding knowledge.

1.Discussion – Week 3

COLLAPSE

Knowledge Management Site
One of the challenges organizations face is workers’ reluctance to share knowledge. This reluctance is fostered by the belief that retaining knowledge increases a person’s value to the organization. Another common reason for not sharing knowledge stems from personal issues such as insecurity. At times, organizations are also to blame. They create an environment of secrecy and a closed work atmosphere. In such situations, employees feel that if they share any work-related knowledge, they might hamper their job security.

In this Discussion, you will analyze ways and reasons that will help increase knowledge sharing among employees.

Based on your reading for this week, answer the following questions:
1. What role does leadership play in creating an environment that supports knowledge sharing?
2. Which tools may be used to encourage workers to share knowledge?

With these thoughts in mind:

Market Plan Section 1

/in /by

Preface:

You are the new marketing manager to The Waters Bottling Company (WBC) of Munsonville, NH. They have never done any marketing for their water before so they will need to be educated as to the role of marketing in their company’s success. They started their company last year and want to “do it right” according to their president and founder, Dr. M. Waters. (The M stands for Muddy so he prudently only uses the initial. He also is rather fond of Blues music, which he would like to incorporate into the marketing plan in some way.) They want to sell their crystal clear, granite filtered mountain water to the “right” market. It is your job to identify that target market. At this point, they don’t even know how the product should be packaged or have a name to identify it. You will get to make that determination and carry that product through the entire Marketing Plan.

Imagination and creativity combined with solid marketing concepts will be the basic framework for your report. They will be relying on you for all of the details to make this product successful. They are well funded and ready to bring this product to market, with your help and guidance.

Use the attached Marketing Planning Guide to build your marketing plan for their naturally mineral rich pure mountain water. Be sure to relate the marketing concepts/ theories to this product/ company as you build the marketing plan over the length of the course. The completed sections of the marketing plan will be submitted in the Dropbox for each module. Use each of the outline items as headers/ subheads for your analysis. Be concise and apply each of the appropriate concepts to the WBC scenario.

Marketing Planning Guide

Section 1 – The Environment (Module 1)

  • Introduction to Marketing
    • The Marketing Mix
    • The Marketing Environment
    • Marketing and its relationship with other functional areas of business
  • Strategic Marketing
    • Planning Process
  • Strategy
    • Organizational Levels
    • Goals and Objectives
  • Planning Gap
    • Ethics in Marketing

You will create a complete Marketing Plan by the end of the course. You will write the first section of the Marketing Plan for this assignment. Use the guide to identify the sections of the Marketing Plan and the marketing elements contained therein. This assignment will focus on Section 1 – The Environment (Module 1).

Over the span of the course, you will gather information from a number of probable sources. Some of the sources may include, but are not limited to, the Internet, public libraries, business magazines, newspapers, the Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal, annual reports, consultant/industry analyst reports, databases, Department of Commerce publications, Temple and other university libraries, trade and academic journals, Moody’s, Value Line, etc.

You may be surprised and overwhelmed by the volume of information that is available for many topics, though you may have to do some “detective work” to locate them.

You may find Web sites such as Hoovers.com and Lexis-Nexis extremely helpful.

Create a 4- to 6-page Word document for your Marketing Plan Section. Apply a standard business writing style using the Market Planning Guide sections as your (headers/ sub heads/ bullets) to your work. Be sure to cite your work in the APA format.

Parties in civil litigation often try to reach a settlement to help reduce the significant costs, time, stress, and risks associated with litigation. Settlements also help ease the public problems associated with overcrowded dockets. A law firm that represents the plaintiff in a personal injury case may sometimes create a settlement brochure or a video settlement brochure to help achieve a settlement for the client.

For the Unit 8 Assignment, you are working as a legal assistant for the law firm that represents Justin King and set out a plan to decide if the legal team for Justin King should prepare a video settlement brochure.

You will conduct legal research and then write a memorandum to the supervising attorney that represents Justin King addressing the questions listed below. You should conduct legal research on Westlaw or in the Library, or through online articles that discuss video settlement brochures. For example, you might consider running a search on Westlaw in the Law Reviews and Journals database for “video settlement brochure.” You should cite at least two different credible and reliable sources in the memorandum. The memorandum should be 2–3 pages in length with double-spaced lines and 1 inch margins. Use Bluebook or APA citation format. Make sure to cite your sources both in-text and in the references page. Click on “Resources” to access files to assist you in your Assignment.

Questions to Address in the Memorandum:

  1. How can a video settlement brochure help achieve the goals of the legal team representing Justin King?
  2. Should the firm hire an outside production company or create the video settlement brochure in-house?
  3. Should the video settlement brochure focus on liability, damages, or both?
  4. What witnesses should be included in the video settlement brochure?

Formal Written Proposal on Reducing College Budget

/in /by

Option #1: Formal Written Proposal on Reducing College Budget

For the Portfolio Project, you are creating a proposal written in formal style and using at least 4-5 research sources to support your proposal. You are expected to cite those sources both in the text of your proposal and on the references page at the end. A number of assignments for this course are projects that build this one, so as you work through this course you will collect source material and ideas that relate to this project. You will use the information you locate to make a persuasive argument regarding a campaign of your design to the hypothetical college board of directors that supports, explains, and defends your campaign idea with solid facts and logical argument based on source evidence. You will create a campaign idea based on source material and create a proposal paper that works to persuade the board of directors at your hypothetical school to adopt your new budget.

Campaign topic: Propose a campaign to decrease the budget but keep the same services at a hypothetical college (you make up this information – college name, number of students, etc.) that has an issue with overspending and needs to make some changes to stay within their budget. For this proposal, you will find sources that explain how to create a budget and stay within it for a university, how to decrease spending for a university without losing services, statistics and facts to support your argument, and examples of other universities that utilized similar ideas to cut spending that were successful to back your ideas.

The Principle Elements:

  • Cover/Title page
  • Table of Contents and List of Figures
  • Executive Summary (Never longer than one page)
  • Body (3-4 pages)
  • References (at least two recent, reliable research sources from within the last five years must be cited)
  • Appendices (if any used)

The paper should be well-written, formatted according to CSU-Global APA Guidelines, and 10 pages total – including all bullet points above. Refer to the Portfolio Project rubric for grading criteria.

The following deliverables are due before midnight on Sunday of Weeks 3 and 6, respectively:

Week 2: Topic Submission (25 points of the Portfolio Project)
Week 4: Portfolio Annotated Bibliography (25 points of the Portfolio Project)
