...The transition from a Socialist approach to a free market approach and the rise of a new high-tech sector are two remarkable shifts that have occurred in the last two decades in Israel. In the face of these changes, human resource (HR) practitioners are currently expected to assume new roles, adopt different work values, and apply appropriate strategies. HR managers in the low-tech industry still adhere to traditional values and strategies, including a reliance on trade unions and an emphasis on job security and the employees’ years of work experience and seniority as key criteria for promotion. In the emerging high-tech sector, HR managers have adopted new values and developed new strategies, including human resource management programs, employee empowerment, higher salaries and better benefits, while placing an emphasis on employees’ talents and qualifications.

...Smartix Case HBS Smartix 1. Imagine that you are Vivek Khuller. Should you accept the offer from MSG? I don’t believe that I would take the offer from MSG. Here’s the problem with not taking the deal: Accel is relying on the MSG deal far greater than anticipated, and the deal with Accel has a high probability of falling through once it is discovered MSG may not be participating in the way Accel is anticipating. The other issue at hand is that without the Accel deal, Smartix is nearly out of time and the funds required to continue aggressively pursuing the project. An alternative for Smartix in this situation is to scale it back and seek out a slightly smaller deal. They have the capacity to do so and it seems that they were aiming rather ambitiously with MSG. If they wanted to reassess their end game and dial it down some, they have the opportunity to connect with a slightly smaller venue or company and they have a short amount of time to do so. Another alternative to accepting the MSG deal is for the founders to gain outside employment in an effort to sustain themselves while they regroup Smartix to succeed under their terms. They all know that the last thing they want to do after all their hard work is become MSG employees. In the end, don’t accept a subpar deal if you know your venture is worth more. 2. Should Vivek have tried to start this venture without co-founders? Could he have been a solo founder? While not doubting his competence or his ability to...

...Concepts of Finance The Behavioral Principle: When All Else Fails, Look at What Others Are Doing for Guidance Guillermo is losing business to his competitors who use high technology equipment, make furniture to the exact specifications and with really low prices. The store owner wants to understand how the competitor operates, and why are they more successful. Guillermo spends some time into researching the high tech solution that the foreign competitor provides. He will try to figure out the cost of the technology, the low labor costs and whether he can cut his costs by converting into the high tech model. Basically he wants to research if he can imitate his competitor to better his business. Guillermo finds out that converting his model into the high tech model would be expensive but he can cut down his productions costs. This form of behavior, where the “choices made by other firms in the same industry can provide useful guidance, is called the Behavioral Principle of Finance: When all else fails, look at what others are doing for guidance”.
