Organizing HR Projects

/in /by

Your company has had embedded HR generalists in business units for the past several years. Over that time, it has become costlier, and more difficult to maintain standards, and is a frustration for business units to have that budget “hit.” The leadership has decided to move to a more centralized model of delivering HR services and has asked you to evaluate that proposition and begin establishing a project team to initiate the needed changes. The project team is selected and you must now provide general direction.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Review and define the five (5) steps of strategic planning . Based on the information, provide a statement of overall importance of these steps to your project team.
  2. Develop a vision and mission statement for the project team specific to the current project. HINT: It is highly recommended to follow the guidance offered in the textbook about vision and mission statement.

Fairness of Identification Procedures

/in /by

Introduction

The rights to counsel and to due process apply in lineups, showups, and photographic identification, but the rights to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures and self-incrimination do not. In Neil v. Biggers (1972), the Court determined that identification procedures must be fair. All three forms of identification have raised serious concerns among law and criminal justice professionals because of their proven unreliability. To determine whether the procedures applied are fair, courts must consider all the circumstances leading up to an identification.

Review the case of Neil v. Biggers. Then, locate a case on fairness in identification procedures.

In your main post:

  • Summarize the key points of the Neil v. Biggers case.
  • Explain the applicable law the court relied on in reaching its decision in your selected case.
  • Describe the outcome in your selected case as it impacts fairness in identification cases.
  • Explore which circumstances should be considered in determining fairness in the context of legal criminal procedure, from a criminal justice practitioner standpoint.

Emotional Intelligence in workplace

/in /by

Resources

  • Instruction Material
    Information about sections within the course project and specific instructions for each area
  • SRIS Key
    For use after receiving MSCEIT results (week 3 and 4). The SREIS Key is needed to determine the level which the student initially rated themselves in each of the four branch abilities.
    Once students have their MSCEIT feedback report, they will compare the answers they offered when they self-rated themselves using the SREIS – to – their actual abilities which were determined by the MSCEIT. Look at Part A of Course Project Part I; last question.

Section II: Comparing SRIS Results to MSCEIT Results

This is the question:

Refer to your SREIS Report (this was one of the self-assessments you completed the 1st week of the semester.) Using the key provided by the instructor, determine your assessment of your emotional intelligence in the 4 branch areas. Compare and discuss results. (20 points)

Some students have a problem completing this question. Given that I provide instructions as well as provide a key for students to understand the SREIS questions – to – Ability Branch Area, this assignment seems very intuitive to me. However, if you have a question as you are comparing your SREIS self-assessment vs your MSCEIT results, please contact me.

Students are graded on their critical thought in relation to the two sets of answers – self-assessment (SRIES) and formal assessment (MSCEIT.)
Did you think you were more skilled in the area than you actually were?
Why do you think that is so?
Those are the type of thoughts I expect from students in this area.

Project 1: Organizational Theory

/in /by

Instructions

Project 1 Organizational Theory (Week 3)

In the first assignment, students are given a scenario in which
the shipping manager who has worked for Recycled Furnishings since the
inception of the company is getting ready to retire.  The scenario
serves to set the stage for students to demonstrate how management
theories have changed over time.  For example, managing 30 years ago is
different than managing in the 21st century. 

In selecting an organizational theory that best describes the
current shipping manager, students have to use the timeline to select a
school of thought and a theory or theories of that time frame.  Students
will need to research the theorist and theories to complete the
assignment and answer the questions below.  Students are expected to be
thorough in responding to Part One. 

In Part Two, students are going to take what they have learned
in weeks 1 – 3 and compare the management skills of the current shipping
manager to that of you as the new shipping manager.

Scenario:

Recycled Furnishings is a division of an international home
furnishing company called Thor Enterprises.  Recycled Furnishings makes
glass sofas for outdoor use from recycled bottles and glass. The
business has grown rapidly in the last thirty years and now that it has
become a division of Thor Enterprises, the company is going
international.  The shipping manager for Recycled Furnishings, Robert,
has been in his job since the start of the company.  Prior to coming to
Recycled Furnishings, Robert worked as a container manufacturing
engineer at Damco, a local shipping company and worked his way up to
supervisor prior to joining Recycled Furnishings. Robert, a baby boomer,
quickly rose to supervisor at Damco because his ability to optimize the
way tasks were performed and implemented processes so workers could be
trained to perform their specialized sequence of motion in one best
way.  He brought this management style to Recycled Furnishing and helped
to improve the methodology of furniture assembly as well as the
shipping processes. 

A major shift in management occurred in the late 1980’s and
early 90’s that caused Robert to reconsider his management approach. 
For example, advances in technology, the organization joining a union,
change in the value systems, organizational design and globalization all
affected the culture of Recycled Furnishings.  Robert was successful
with this transformation and contributed greatly to the company’s
success.

Part One

  • Select an organizational theory that you believe best describes Robert’s management style in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s;
  • Identify the theorist(s) who proposed the theory; 
  • Discuss how the selected organizational theory and theorist fit into the school of thought of that time period.
  • Address the principles of the theory and how the manager would do his job and interact with his staff. 
  • How does this organizational theory differ from Robert’s early thinking;
  • Using the course readings and your own research, explain in detail how you arrived at your conclusions.

Part Two

Recently Robert announced his plans to retire.  You have been
hired as his replacement and with the international launch on the
horizon you have big shoes to fill.  You feel you are more than capable
of handling the management position and characterize yourself as a 21st century manager. 

  • As a 21st century manager, compare the way you would manage versus the way of Robert; 
  • What implications do the changes in management have for the future of Thor?
  • How will the new approach to the job likely change the shipping division?

Required Formatting of the Project 1:

  • This report should be double spaced, 12-point font, and four
    to five pages in length excluding the title page and reference page;
  • Include an introduction and a summary paragraph;
  • Title page with your name, the course name, the date, and instructor’s name;
  • Use headings;
  • Write clearly and concisely;
  • Write in the third person;
  • Use APA formatting for in-text citations and reference page. 
    You are expected to paraphrase and not use direct quotes. Deductions
    will be taken when direct quotes are used and found to be unnecessary;
  • Outside resources may be used but the majority of the support
    will come from the course readings with a wide array of readings used;
