...Human Resources Management Wisnu Danandi Haryanto (1106115001) Question: What do you think is the impact of a more boundary less world to people mobility? Is there such reality of global talent? The world has become a smaller place to live in. The population has increased to 7 billion and advancements in technology have made information and business easier for the people of the world. The internet has revolutionized how the world has become. Knowledge can be found at the tip of your finger and the world has become more accessible. Mobility of the population has increased dramatically in the past several years. The migration of people has become a more common activity. Travel between countries and territories have become the common norm of today’s society. Because the world has become boundary less, people are becoming more aware of various possibilities and opportunities which may be provided to them from around the world.

These companies also faced the challenge of needing to reduce the costs of operations by moving operations abroad, paying lower wages and finding competent employees to staff the facilities. Companies were required to aggressively retain their current employees and also develop the talents of these workers. We must be able to recognize that the search for...

...Compuware David Tapper January 2013 THE CHANGING ENTERPR ISE Today's enterprises are under tremendous pressure to keep pace with a rapidly changing marketplace while supporting employees, customers, and consumers who are using an entirely new set of capabilities to meet their needs. Capabilities such as social media, cloud services, analytics, and mobility are enabling users and buyers to localize and personalize specific needs to do a variety of tasks, whether for professional or personal purposes. While the combination of these capabilities is radically altering the means by which enterprises need to do business, the move to a mobile-enabled world is creating tremendous opportunities for enterprises to leverage mobility as a means of driving high performance and ensuring competitive advantage. Some of the key factors that are driving enterprises to develop mobile strategies are as follows: Rapidly expanding use of mobile devices. The rapid adoption of "smart" mobile devices by both consumers and employees, coupled with the increase in bring your own device (BYOD) in the work environment, is placing significant challenges on enterprises to meet a broader set of requirements.

...Exercise and Multiple Sclerosis Rebecca Milligan April 29, 2010 Participation in an exercise program can be a challenge for most people, but it can be especially difficult if someone loses mobility as a result of a chronic condition such as multiple sclerosis (MS). While these challenges may often seem insurmountable, there are many strategies that make it possible for people with MS-related mobility problems to participate in, and gain significant benefit from, a carefully designed and customized program of regular exercise. THE IMPACT OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Multiple sclerosis is an auto-immune disease of the central nervous system. It degrades the myelin sheath that covers and protects axons or nerve tissue in the body. There is also evidence that the disease damages nerve tissue itself. MS can compromise the ability of nerves to function normally, which can also affect mobility, feeling, and sensory perception. It may also cause fatigue and a loss of muscle mass due to the inability of the patients to exercise adequately. A critical element of treatment is the need to watch for signs of progression of the disease. Multiple sclerosis progression is most commonly measured through a scale called the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which focuses largely on a person's ambulatory ability.(n1) Many doctors also use a measurement called the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC), which is a three-part composite assessment that uses a wide variety...

...PRESENT CONCERNS FOR EUROPE OF TOMORROW Many are the challenges that the European Union will have to face within the next fifty years. Without diminishing other serious problems like global warming, the depletion of natural resources and the extreme poverty in Africa, in this essay we will focus on the issues intrinsically related to people’s fundamental and inalienable right to mobility. One of the most concerning problem related to people’s mobility is the growing number of illegal immigrants who struggle their way to Europe in search of a better standard of living and freedom. These people had been desperately pushed to abandon their countries and traverse the world, no matter the risks and the adversities they would have to endure. In order to control the increasing number of immigrants, more and more countries in Europe are denying the fundamental right to mobility and equal opportunities to justice and dignity by closing their doors and imposing restrictive laws. The results have been disastrous: thousands and thousands of preventable deaths of clandestine migrants drowned before reaching European’s soil. All countries of the European Union should move towards more sensible immigration laws: to open their frontiers to migrants who will provide Europe with the needed labour force and to create a data system to register aspiring immigrants’ professional and education profile so as to direct them towards the most suitable job opportunity as well as the employer with...
