...Introduction to talent management (IT) Introduction to the 2 companies being considered Findings on company 1 Findings on company 2 Comparative study Critical analysis INTRODUCTION Talent management is a name for a human resources program that applies to more than just computing hours and taking care of legal aspects of employment. Rather, talent management applies to the strategy of recruitment and retention, compensation, assessment and review. In some cases, talent management is a process handled over multiple departments. In other cases, it may be solely handled by human resources. Talent management's first responsibility is to attract and retain qualified employees. Without this primary function, no company can achieve its full potential. Recruiting workers can be a difficult task, especially in times of low unemployment. The further up the ladder the position is, the harder the position will be to fill. Recruitment and retention may depend on adequate or competitive compensation packages. These packages must be carefully scrutinized based on industry standards. Although pay may be the most important of the compensation package, it is not the only part. Traditional benefits such as health insurance and vacation also play a role. However, newer benefits, such as flexible packages and telecommute options can also be very attractive for some positions....

...This essay examines the case study "The rise and fall of Carleton S. ('Carly') Fiorina, during her employment as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with Hewlett-Packard (HP) (Robbins et al. 2008). Well-known for her charisma, high profile and aggressiveness in business, Carly's previous employers at Lucent Technologies paid tribute her imaginative leadership style, her enthusiasm, and her ability to introduce and lead change. (Robbins et al.). The value of individual personality tests as an indicator for business success will be examined. This essay also looks at Carly's personality, and how it may have impacted on her ability to perform her job.

Carly personality was well known and was considered as a great asset at the time of her employment at HP.

Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of information between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders. Built on a centralized database and normally utilizing a common computing platform, ERP systems consolidate all business operations into a uniform and enterprise-wide system environment. An ERP system can either reside on a centralized server or be distributed across modular hardware and software units that provide "services" and communicate on a local area network. The distributed design allows a business to assemble modules from different vendors without the need for the placement of multiple copies of complex and expensive computer systems in areas which will not use their full capacity. To be considered an ERP system, a software package should have the following traits: ➢ Should be integrated and operate in real time with no periodic batch updates. ➢ All applications should access......
