(L02- Assessment Criteria 2.2 and L03 Assessment Criteria 3.1) Case Study : Integrating of Strategy and Human Resource Management The experiences of several organizations provide good examples of the integration of strategy and human resource management. One such example is provided by the experiences of People’s Bank, a financial services company headquartered in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Massive changes began to take place in the business environment of banking with deregulation and relaxation of ceilings on interest. Money markets began to drain off funds that ordinarily went into banks’ deposits, forcing them to rely on more expensive sources of funds. Further, the money center banks began to compete in the same middle markets as regional banks. People’s, which was a small regional bank, responded by changing its strategy from a product orientation to one directed toward markets. With a product orientation, products are developed and then markets are sought out in which to sell the product. Conversely, a market orientation involves an opposite approach in that market demands are determined...

Therefore the company wishes to replicate this success by formulating the Ultra pills to target other segments of the workout population. UltraMAX, a new product, is geared toward women who also lift weights and do cardiovascular exercises. Because the core of the product has already been produced, the project to introduce UltraMAX to the workout world really boils down to seeing whether UltraMAX produces results in women as good as those that Ultra does in men. There are four professionals that will be working in the project to test the UltraMax effects in women. These resources include Sarah, Robert, Tony, and Lisa. There are many options that can...

...Time Management Effective time management means less stress in your day to day routine. Managing your time effectively will get more done each day and when your minimize stress your improving the quality of work. “Effective executives, in my observation, do not start with their tasks, they start with their time. And they do not start out with planning. They start by finding out where their time actually goes,” (Peter Drucker, The Effective Executive” referenced by Negesh Belludi, 2008). We can easily lose sight on how we spend our time and before you know it the day is over. Ask yourself how your spend your time; keep a log of everything you do for a few days. Evaluate this and determine where you spend the most time, how to utilize certain times of the day and what you can shave off the list. If you commute to work, utilize this time to catch up on emails, read reports or write you’re to do list for the day. This time may seem short, but in the end useful. It’s also important to keep healthy to relive stress, not only can you be bombarded with heavy workloads but your personal life can affect your productivity as well. Get plenty of rest and make sure you have something for breakfast and lunch during work, this will keep you energized. Feeling run down exhausted or fatigue will only set you back and create distractions and limitations of productivity. A healthy lifestyle can improve focus; concentration and efficiency this will help finish the tasks out hand. Stock your...

...what was done during our class session. It involved us participating in various activities that would require us to rely on the knowledge and expertise of the other members of the group that we were randomly assigned to. This training session however would be different because of the various cultures, backgrounds, and personalities represented. | The first team training exercise was a game called charades. It required us to learn how to converse with others without the use of words or sounds. We had to compete against the other team, and whoever guessed the most words correctly won the game. This particular exercise teaches the value of clear communication between team members and aids in building relationships. Trusting our ability to read body language was the next challenge and it was the most difficult. We would not only have to guess which person of the opposite team held a coin in their hand but which hand specifically. During this game, we did not trust in one of our members’ judgments and as a team, we should consider everyone’s opinion within the group. If one person has the ability to read body language, we should follow the advice of that team member since they have used their expertise to guess correctly. This is where trust is developed within the group members and is displayed in the support of the final decision. The last challenge took us uphill. During this activity, we had to strategize a way of allowing our team members to fit into a circle that...

...helps with staying organized, eliminating idle time and allows for planning ahead. The creation and use of a schedule reduces the stress about what task an individual must do next. By having time designated for certain activities, a schedule helps prevent forgetting tasks as well as rushing through other tasks. A schedule helps allot time for school work and business activities and leaves an individual in charge of what they want to do and when they want to do it. As a student, one should be reasonable about business growth by prioritizing and designating only a few hours a week for business activities. It is practical to begin by establishing a small scaled business while in school, with the intention of expanding later when more time is available. Ways to Create a Schedule There are a number of different ways a schedule can be created and many tools that make it a simple task. Many online websites can generate a schedule once input is entered such as Google Calendars which can instantly create a schedule that manages your time. If you are an owner of a Smartphone, applications, such as Tungle Me and Smart Time, can also be useful. However, the most effective schedules are made personally by an individual since they have consideration of activities that take place in their own lives. Research on working effectively shows that most people work best by working intensely for...

...Never Enough Time A day consists of 24 hours. Somehow this is never sufficient amount of time to complete all task or activities needed to be done in a person’s life. Some of these task and activities include work, school, personal lives, and just everyday life duties. It is these activities that can lead a person to stress and anxiety because not everything can be accomplished in a daily basis. Time management can be the answer to help complete daily activities and eliminate stress brought on by this. Time management is a discipline that sometimes accompanied by many failures. When taken seriously, the rewards will be found and worth the effort (Repak). Time consist of taking care of a family by a single parent or parents, maintaining a home, working a full-time job, and attending college to maintain a degree. Within trying to take care of these tasks, there are still smaller task that must be done. However, besides attending to these particular matters, a person must also find time relax and get sleep. To resolve the problem of finding time to do all the activities that are required to be completed daily, a person must have good time management skills. The struggle of time management is not simply a case of cutting back or acquiring new skills because the exhaustion and fatigue that a person feels has a connection on so many areas of life – our relationships, disposition, availability, etc (Repak). Time management skills can help aid in keeping a person on schedule...
