Use the Internet and the Strayer database to research a company that does both domestic and international business. Review the company’s profile, target demographics and market, human resource strategies, and human resource challenges. You will use this information to examine the human resource challenges that the company faces and to suggest one (1) human resource strategy that could improve the company’s competitive edge.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze the organization overall, its primary purpose, the customers that it serves, and its size.
2. Examine the common HR challenges that the organization currently faces (e.g., high turn-over, low wages, lack of skilled workers, etc.).
3. Determine the primary ways in which the international status of the organization influences these common HR challenges.
4. Recommend one (1) HR strategy from Week 4 that you would implement in order to overcome the common challenges assessed. Justify your recommendation.
5. Predict the degree of effectiveness of your recommended strategy in making the organization more competitive and more productive. Provide a rationale to justify your predictions.
6. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

The Signature Assignment for this class requires you to assess what

direction personality theory and research will occur in the twenty-first

century. Based upon your personal interests in psychology, you will select

an area – abnormal, developmental, organizational, police, military,

forensic, etc. – and determine how personality theory’s application has

evolved in the selected area. For example, perhaps new personality

assessments and tests have been used to identify employee integrity; a

study has identified the best personality mix for work team; or, perhaps

research has proposed a new way to evaluate abnormal behavior.

Be sure your analysis addresses the following:

*Identify the key theoretical perspective(s) you have reviewed in this

course that have influenced the development of the selected field.

*Discuss the impact of cultural influences on personality as applied to the

selected field.

*Note any ethical challenges that might exist in applying personality

testing or conducting personality research in the selected field.

*Suggest what new research opportunities exist to expand the application of

personality theory in the selected field.

Locate at least 10 articles from peer-reviewed journals and other scholarly

sources that support your investigation. The research you utilized in

developing your Annotated Outline can be reused. However, these resources

should be supplemented in the areas that were indicated by your instructor.

Remember to incorporate any other faculty feedback from your annotated

outline into your final assignment.

Length: 12-15 pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and

concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights

relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly

writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral

University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Mid-term research paper – Annotated Bibliography – Defense-in-Depth Submit Here Depth

This assignment will be one of several throughout your PhD program that we use to help you prepare for the dissertation process. One of the core competencies necessary to succeed in a doctoral program is the ability to identify other research that pertains to your own. This means you’ll have to identify similar research, read the papers, and assimilate prior work into your own research. An annotated bibliography helps you develop and hone these research skills.

This assignment is listed on the syllabus as “Mid-term research paper” and is worth 10% of your grade. Your paper will be an annotated bibliography, specifically focusing on the “Depth” topic (i.e. Defense in Depth) in the context of protecting National Infrastructure.

You paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at least seven (7) resources, ALL of which must:

1) Be current. Published within the last few years.

2) Be peer-reviewed.

3) Relate directly to Defense in depth in the context of protecting National Infrastructure.

Remember that an annotation is not the same as an abstract. Abstracts are descriptive. Your annotations are to be evaluative and critical. Give me enough information for me to decide if I’m interested enough to read the paper, and also how you perceive the paper. Don’t go skimpy on these annotations, but DO NOT write too much here. Quality is far more important that quantity. This exercise is for each of you to demonstrate that you can identify, categorize, and digest multiple research papers.

Every resource you choose must be peer reviewed. That means the paper must have undergone a formal peer review before being published in a journal or presented at a conference. You must ensure that your resources have undergone rigorous reviews. In most cases, you can find out the review process for a conference or journal by visiting the appropriate web site. Do not simply assume that a resource is peer reviewed – check it out.

Details:

In the prospectus, proposal and dissertation there are ten key or strategic points that need to be clear, simple, correct, and aligned to ensure the research is doable, valuable, and credible. These points, which provide a guide or vision for the research. The ten strategic points emerge from researching literature on a topic, which is based on or aligned with, the defined need in the literature as well as the researcher’s personal passion, future career purpose, and degree area. You have practiced identifying the ten points in published studies, the next required skill is to define the ten points for an original as yet conducted research study. In this assignment, you will consider a potential gap in the literature that is emerging from your ongoing reading in your field of interest including the two specific articles you selected for the previous assignment, and you will draft the 10 Strategic Points for a potential dissertation research study based on that identified gap.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Important note: Successful completion of this assignment does not indicate that this topic and the related 10 Strategic Points have been approved for use as your dissertation research study topic.
• Locate and download “10 Strategic Points Template with Instructions” located in the DC (https://dc.gcu.edu/dissertation/dissertation-templates/10_strategic_points_template/strategicpointstemplatewithinstructions2014docx) and use it to complete this assignment.
• This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
• You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

Directions:

Consider a potential gap in the literature that is emerging from your ongoing reading in your field of interest including no less than five specific research studies. Using the information from those research studies, state the potential gap that you identified and describe how it emerged from the studies you read.

Based on that identified gap, draft the 10 Strategic Points for a potential dissertation research study. Please complete the above assignment using the attached template and please provide reference page in APA 6th edition format.
