...teams: A human resource capital architecture // International Journal of Human Resource Management, 2005, 16(9), p1583-1599 // ISSN: 0958-5192 Globalization has organically introduced Global Virtual Teams (GVTs) and made them an essential part of any rapidly expanding international companies. GVTs, which are groups of people working together even though they are geographically separated, have the potential to be catalysts in effectively utilizing a company’s human resources (HR). Even though GTVs show great promise, problems associated with an interconnected global work force are amplified and new issues have arisen which include difficulty working with individuals from differing cultures, decreased ability for members to build social/cultural capital within a team, difficultly to asses performance, and GVTs cannot convey informal rules or norms which in turn would lead to an increase in misunderstandings and confusion. GVTs value-creating competencies can be broken down into: self-related competencies, team context-related competencies, and vision-related competencies. These competencies, if bundled together effectively, will foster a sustainable competitive advantage over the firm’s global rivals. Another determining factor in how to efficiently use an organizations competencies would be the balance between the development of a firm knowledge base and the knowledge shared by collaborating GVT members, or the management of corporate HR architecture.

...Daria Sociology B2 Human Capital Theory What is human capital? According Schultz (1993), the term “human capital” has been defined as a key element in improving a firm assets and employees in order to increase productive as well as sustain competitive advantage. To sustain competitiveness in the organization human capital becomes an instrument used to increase productivity. The theory of human capital is rooted from the field of macroeconomic development theory (Schultz, 1993). Becker’s (1993) classic book, Human Capital: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis with special reference to education, illustrates this domain. Becker argues that there are different kinds of capitals that include schooling, a computer training course, expenditures on medical care. And in fact, lectures on the virtues of punctuality and honesty are capital too. In the true sense, they improve health, raise earnings, or add to a person’s appreciation of literature over a lifetime. Consequently, it is fully in keeping with the capital concept as traditionally defined to say that expenditures on education, training, and medical care, etc., are investment in capital. These are not simply costs but investment with valuable returns that can be calculated.

(2005) where IC is said to be the non-physical besides non-monetary capitals controlled by organisations that leads to value formation. According to Stewart (1997), there are three components for IC, which are human capital, structural capital as well as relational capital (refer to Appendix 3).

...the first wide scale economic activity. It serves as the sustenance of mankind, the oldest most reliable energy source for human beings; food production. Throughout the ages agriculture as we know it has changed. As economies developed from subsistence to trade and developed trading economies so has agriculture. Currently, in today’s world, we see agriculture as an important industry to any nation. It serves as one of, if not the most, powerful poverty reduction sectors in any nation. This is so because agriculture dominates the rural areas; which are notorious for being resource immobile, isolated and poverty stricken. Henceforth, implications for agriculture and its development becomes an important concern for every nation. Labour being an important factor of production, and one which is most variable in the short run, an analysis on its influence in agricultural production seems almost mandatory. In this sector of interest, the labour available tends to diverge from those of other sectors, in terms of characteristics. Labour in agricultural production is characterized by “a high age of agricultural workers & low levels of educational attainment”(A.Bailey, 2012).
