...The function and importance of the four external and six internal considerations for developing an integrated information management system for a Human Service Organization. When designing an information management system, it is important to use enough data and information that is needed, yet be able to control how much of the information is too much, and retrieve unnecessary data, which can result in information overload. Subsystems were put in place in order to better organize the different components of the organization, both external and internal. There is the centerpiece of the system that is the overall organizational performance guidance system that aids in determining whether the organization is functioning properly and reaching its mission. The secondary system operates other units within the organization that have the different subsystems. So what we have is an effective system that incorporates both internal and external into one single system. The external: Political Environment- Funding sources, contributors, referral sources. Sociological Aspects- Types of people in community, age, gender, ethnic groups, ect. Economic Aspects- Expectations from regulatory bodies, Board of Directors Technological Needs- Agents tracking of technological and professional advancements. The Internal: Organizational Purposes-The factors and variables needed to track the agencies progress Organizational Planning-Goals and objectives, strategic and program plans Organizational...

...changed the whole concept of communication. In the past, businesses had a model of communication that left very little room for interaction and conversation with the receiver of the message. Currently the model that works and is now used by most organisations is one that gives room to both conversation and interaction with the receivers. Communication is very vital in any organization. Like blood in our bodies, it is the channel that gives life to the organisation and without it, organisations would not be functional. There are two types of business communication in an organization 1. Internal Communication 2. External Communication Internal Communication Internal communication is a subset of effective business communication, which is built around this simple foundation: communication is a dialogue, not a monologue. In fact, communication is a dual listening process. So Internal...

...Employee Recruitment and Selection Mara Jasmine Cirujeda Herman HRM 531 January 11, 2011 Antonio F. Vianna Introduction Intelligent recruitment strategies are important to succeed in business. The purpose of this paper is to choose the correct recruitment for an organization. Internal recruitment “Initial consideration should be given to a company’s current employees, especially for filling jobs above the entry level” (Cascio, 2010, p. 207). San Diego Unified School District is a very notorious district for choosing employees, especially for high ranking and specialized jobs from their current pool of employees. Their hiring practices are well known to only hire interior employees because the positions are advertised in their employment board and supposedly exterior applicants have the opportunity to apply for positions, but all the openings available for San Diego Unified are being filled by employees that lost their jobs in another schools. They are being sent to another school that has an opening or also got rid of another employee. I named this practice of the district “recycling jobs.” External recruitment “To meet demands for talent brought about by business growth, a desire for fresh ideas, or to replace employees who leave, organizations periodically turn to the outside labor market” (Cascio, 2010, p. 211). San Diego Unified School District hires also employees from the outside through their human resources department. They provide training to substitute...

...What was the main problem plaguing Clarion School for Boys and why? Answer: The Clarion School for Boys has faced several problems. The main problem is: Huge investment but lack of internal analysis: Without conducting any internal analysis, The Clarion School for Boys had introduced information technology of AS/400 system and purchased 60 personal computer. This strategy of introducing hardware and software to the company without any formal monitoring of the system’s benefit did not prove beneficial to the school. Few of the real problems faced by the Clarion School for Boys are as follows: Less knowledge of their employees about informations system: The Clarion School for Boys, Inc, Milwaukee Division is a private, for-profit residential treatment, who provide service to young boys. Within 17 years of its operation, they managed to provide services to 120 students with the help of 128 full-time and part-time employees. When they found that the labor cost is almost 68 percent of the school’s operating budget, they believed that computerization could be a better solution for bringing down the high overall operation cost due to the increasing staff. In other words, it was thought to bring in more effectiveness and productivity. But they did not conduct any internal analysis whether the system will work properly or not. They should also have considered about the capability of their workers before introducing the new system. Computerization cannot be successful if the operators...

The reason of this study was to research FSF detection and prevention. Research was also done to determine any influences that SAS (Statement on Auditing Standards) No. 82 and SAS No. 99 had on audit programs and the analysis from external auditors. Thirteen scholarly journals were reviewed in order to analyze SAS No. 82 and No. 99 and to show ways to detect and prevent fraud. Results found that managers and/or auditors can create fraud intentionally and unintentionally. There are ways to prevent fraud and educating managers and/or auditors is a good way to make sure fraud does not occur.

...“emphasizes the fundamental interrelatedness and coherence of HRM activities” (Bratton & Gold, 2012, pg. 18, para. 3). There are four main components consisting of selection, appraisal, development and rewards that attribute to the HRM cycle. This model ignores different stakeholder interests, situational factors and management’s choice, but gives strength to the “coherence of internal HR policies and the importance of ‘matching’ internal HR policies and practices to the organization’s external business strategy” (Bratton & Gold, 2012, pg. 18, para. 3) Second, is the Harvard model, which addresses the issue of management’s goals and the specific HR outcomes. The Harvard model has six components: situational factors, stakeholder interests, HRM policy choices, HR outcomes, Long-term consequences and a Feedback loop. Each of the components are a result of the previous which effects the HR outcomes and the long term consequences; and the feedback loop carries the outputs directly into the organization and to the stakeholders. The Guest model looks at labour management in the context of goals, employee behaviour, performance and long-term financial outcomes. “Managers are advised to consider the effects of a core set of integrated HR practices on individual and organizational performance”. (Bratton & Gold, 2012, pg. 20, para. 5) This model also has six components: an HR strategy, a set of HR policies, a set of HR outcomes, behavioural outcomes, performance outcomes and financial...

...following article: Kalagnanam, S. S. and E. M. Matsumura, "Cost of Quality in an Order Entry Department," Journal of Cost Management (Fall 1995), pp. 68-74. The required questions are designed to acquaint students with some of the terminology of "cost of quality" and some aspects of conducting a cost of quality study. Quality costs, defined as those that arise because poor quality may exist or does exist, have been classified into the following four categories: • Prevention (prevention of poor quality, or quality assurance); • Appraisal (inspection and testing); • Internal Failure (costs, such as rework or scrappage, for nonconforming products identified before delivery to customers); • External Failure (costs, such as warranty expenses or freight charges, for nonconforming products delivered to customers). This case focuses on prevention activities (see question 6), as well as internal failure and external failure costs for the order entry department at Precision Systems, Inc. Internal and external failures are defined with respect to the order entry department. Additional readings on quality costs: Kaplan, R. S. and A. A. Atkinson, Advanced Management Accounting, 2nd ed.
