...In order to facilitate your learning in this course, a course project that allows you to research various HR functions at an organization of your choice has been developed. You can then practically apply the information you have learned to the chosen environment. The organization you select should be of interest to you. It can be where you are currently employed, or wish to be employed. It can also be something that interests you (for example, coffee drinkers can select Starbucks). This must be an organization that is researchable as you need to gather and analyze a variety of information in order to complete the components of your project. If you select an organization with which you are currently associated, it is important to remember that the various analyses you make during the completion of your project must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee. Each project component requires you to research a different aspect of HRM. In addition to gathering the requisite data from the organization of your choice, you are required to research and employ a minimum of four resources (per assignment) to support the content of each assignment. Examples of acceptable choices include informational interviews, scholarly journals, and white papers from professional organizations such as the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). As you progress through the project and address the different HR issues covered in the class, you...

...CONTINUOUS CASE STUDY This case study can be used as a progressive platform for building and applying data communications and computer networking concepts as students progress through the book. Company Background The company is a division of a Fortune 500 manufacturer of packaging material. This packaging material is used in cookie bags, cigarette cartons, cereal boxes, ice cream containers, and just about every conceivable food-product package. Customers purchase product based on weight (cents per pound or dollars and cents per pound). Additional charges that might be billed to the customer include special packaging charges, storage charges (if the customer requests that product be stored at a public storage facility), and shipping charges (if a contract carrier is utilized to deliver product to the customer). The product is marketed to an existing customer base through an internal sales force that reports directly to the Field Sales Force Manager. The Field Sales Force Manager in turn reports to the Vice President of Marketing and Sales. The combined charter of the marketing department and the sales force team is to maintain and expand product sales to existing customers and develop new sales with existing customers and prospect and develop new customers. The Vice President of Marketing reports to the General Manager of the division, who is an executive VP reporting to the parent company’s chief operations officer or president.

...Your Final Project for this course will be a virtual time capsule. A time capsule is a grouping of items for future discovery. For our purposes, we will imagine that our time capsule will be buried at the end of the course and opened 100 years later. The goal of our capsule is to provide an overview of what you believe future generations should remember about the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The project can be composed in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint. It can include multimedia if you wish. It should include the following eight parts: 1.A letter of introduction to tell someone in the future about your day-to-day life. What is your daily experience? Tell this person about your habits, your customs, your feelings about our present time, and your dreams for the future. 2.An example of morality and decision-making in current culture in 100 words or more. 3.Your definition of happiness in 100 words or more, including how you came to this view. Next, you will also choose an artifact for each of the following areas (4-8). You will explain the item in one paragraph, giving it context, and describing it. Then spend at least one paragraph justifying its inclusion in the time capsule: Why is this item worth preserving for the future, and what does it communicate about our culture today? Why this object above all the other possibilities? 4.A significant literary work (poem, short story, play, or novel.) 5.A significant example of art or architecture. 6.A significant...
