The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM). Students will select an organization in need of change and make recommendations to manage the change through integrating the major responsibilities of HRM.The major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM) are to attract, develop, and maintain a quality workforce.PresentationAs a team, research an organization that is in need of a change and present how the team will manage the change process by incorporating the three essential responsibilities of HRM, focusing on one subsystem that requires change within the organization. For more information, reference the assigned Topic textbook readings. The team is required to create a PowerPoint presentation of 15 to 18 slides (including a title slide and references slide). Address following in your presentation under the appropriate heading:Overview of the Organization:Provide an overview of the chosen organization.Justify the choice of the organization.Identify the change needed and how the issue has impacted the organization.Organizational Subsystems in Need of Change Within the Organization:Identify three of the subsystems in the organization that relate to the needed change that was identified.Of the three subsystems chosen, identify the main subsystem that failed and led to the problem.Provide a justification or explanation for choosing the subsystem for change.Impact of the Proposed Change on Two Other Organizational Subsystems:Discuss how the proposed change will affect the other two subsystems identified.Discuss any system realignment that may result from the changes proposed.Subsystem Comparison to Another Organization:Compare the chosen subsystem for change to the same subsystem in a different organization. The subsystem chosen should be from an organization that is successful in the area of change being proposed. Provide justification.Satisfaction of Three Stakeholders:Identify any three stakeholders in the organization affected by the proposed change.Explain how the proposed change will satisfy each of the three stakeholders identified.Ethical and Social ResponsibilityDo the organization's views on ethical standards conform to or differ from their practices? Provide justification.In what way does the organization practice corporate social responsibility and how does it provide the organization with a competitive advantage? If you cannot identify areas of corporate social responsibility, provide a recommendation on how the organization can behave in a socially responsible manner to create a competitive advantage?Explain how these views and practices impact the three stakeholders.Attracting Human Resources:Propose how the organization should attract the human resources required to support the change in the primary subsystem.Focus the proposal to attract human resources (a specific individual or organization) on one of the following: human resource planning, recruitment, or selection.Explain how the proposed efforts to attract human resources to bring about the change will affect the primary subsystem identified.Developing Human Resources:Propose how the organization should develop the human resources (attracted in the previous section) in order to support the change.Focus the proposal to develop human resources on one of the following: employee orientation, training and development, or performance appraisal.Explain how the proposed efforts to develop human resources to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified.Maintaining Human Resources:Propose how the organization should maintain the human resources (attracted and developed in the previous sections) in order to support the change.Focus the proposal to develop human resources on one of the following: career development, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, employee retention and turnover, or labor-management relations.Explain how the proposed efforts to maintain human resources to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified.Internal Consistency:Explain how the HR processes chosen to attract, develop, and maintain the quality workforce to bring about the proposed change are the optimal choices, connected, internally consistent, and applicable to the overall changes suggested.Course Connectivity:Choose a minimum of three appropriate topics from the broader Class Resources (from Topics 1-6) and connect the discussion of each to the proposed changes and recommendations made in the presentation.This discussion should thoroughly explain or define each of the chosen topics, and clearly integrate the discussion of each to develop a persuasive argument that demonstrates a holistic understanding of the subject.Integration of Faith, Learning, and Work – CWV:Review the "Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work" in the topic resources and the "Christian Worldview Belief Statements" document outlining the integration of faith, learning, and work. Based on these resources, integrate a Christian worldview (CWV) component in the presentation.Using a minimum of three relevant Bible verses in total, explain how at least two of these CWV perspectives relates to the proposed change. You are required to address a minimum of one CWV perspective as long as it applies to your presentation.Make a clear connection on how CWV should inform the management practice.All individuals have a worldview. An individual's faith-based perspective/worldview influences that person's decisions, values, and perceptions. It also affects how an individual manages people (or thinks they should be managed). For this assignment, this requirement relates to the worldview of the presenters, not the organizations. For example, how does the CWV inform your interpretation of the problem or the proposed solution?General RequirementsYou are required to use at least four external scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, to provide evidence. The rationale should be justified; this should not be completed based on an opinion. One of the sources should directly relate to the company discussed in the presentation and one to the comparison organization. These sources must be cited within the presentation, not just provided as references at the end of the presentation.Additionally, speaker notes are required. Include detailed speaker notes within the PowerPoint presentation in the designated slide field.While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.Benchmark InformationThis benchmark assignment assesses the following programmatic competencies:BS Accounting; BS Business Administration; BS Business Analytics; BS Business Information Systems; BS Business Management; BS Entrepreneurial Studies; BS Finance; BS Finance and Economics; BS Hospitality Management; BS Marketing and Advertising; BS Sports Management; BS Supply Chain and Logistics Management1.1: Demonstrate skills for effective collaboration, negotiation, and teamwork.BS Applied Management1.4: Demonstrate skills for effective collaboration, negotiation, and teamwork.BS Homeland Security and Emergency Management2.2: Demonstrate skills for effective collaboration, negotiation, and teamwork.

Amateur and professional cooks who enter competitions will often spend hours searching for just the right ingredients for the perfect recipe. They have likely formed philosophies about cooking and food that either consciously or unconsciously guide their efforts. After they are satisfied, they may present their dish to judges and other tasters, who often try to guess the secret ingredients in the winning recipe. In a similar fashion, change management researchers spend considerable time trying to find the perfect recipe or model for managing change, because they realize that effective change management can mean the difference between business success and failure. To test assumptions based on underlying philosophies about change, researchers carefully analyze business leaders who were either successful or unsuccessful at managing change. Using these analyses, researchers put forth models as their “recipes” for change management. As a result, a multitude of sometimes-conflicting philosophies and models have emerged. Business professionals searching for advice on effective change management must be knowledgeable about the models available in order to choose a model or combination of models that best aligns with their own philosophies and beliefs about change and the organization they are leading.To prepare for this Assignment, consider both successful and unsuccessful organizational changes of which you have been a part, or with which you are familiar, and evaluate how these organizational changes support or refute the philosophies and models offered by this week’s Learning Resources and/or any additional resources that you have selected. By Day 7Submit a scholarly, 2- to 4-page evaluation of two change management philosophies and models. Your evaluation must include the following: An examination of the reasons for successful organizational change An evaluation of your personal experience with or knowledge of organizational changes, both successful and unsuccessfulA dissection of the organizational change philosophies and or models that contain concepts that support and/or refute your successful and unsuccessful organizational change experiences A synthesis of the Learning Resources along with appropriately formatted references to a minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles per page of your paper to support your assertions Graetz, F., & Smith, A. C. T. (2010). Managing organizational change: A philosophies of change approach. Journal of Change Management, 10(2), 135–154. doi:10.1080/14697011003795602

Car SWOTingIntroductionIn each unit, the students will be assigned discussion questions concerning unit topics, examine the presented topics, and complete the discussion tasks. After submitting the initial posting, the students will provide constructive criticism of at least two peers’ initial postings, including the perceived strengths, weaknesses, and specific opportunities for improvement.The initial post should be a minimum of one page double spaced in length. Refer to the discussion rubric for grading criteria which includes using credible sources (properly cited in APA format) and linking in the unit’s concepts and terms for critical analysis.It is recommended that your use a word processer, such as MS Word and use both spell checking and grammar checking tools. You should expand your grammar checking tools in Word to cover any writing weaknesses (such as setting to Grammar and Style in Word). You can then copy and paste your post into the discussion forum. While there is no minimum or maximum word expectation for peer responses, they are expected to be substantive in nature and linked to credible sources. All work should reflect graduate-level critical thinking, as well as an ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate given scenarios and tasks.Click here for Learning OutcomesDirectionsA SWOT analysis CAN be a useful tool, but only if used in a way that provides quality managerially useful information. For example, it is easy enough to find a SWOT on a company from sources such as Business Strategy Hub (Links to an external site.). The Strengths and Weakness parts of a SWOT are inward looking. A SWOT should include an analysis of external considerations of opportunities and threats which can often be found in the trade literature.A SWOT can help identify and protect competitive advantages. A SWOT analysis should also lead to strategic recommendations such as: how to turn weaknesses into strengths, how to react to threats, and how to pursue opportunities.Initial PostPeer ResponsesInitial PostYou are the lead analysis at a marketing strategy consulting company. You have been hired to conduct a SWOT analysis and develop recommendations for a SBU in the automotive industry. Your external analysis must include a reflection on competitive SBUs, including major competitive actions from current global competitors and future competitors, such as China.A basic principle of Michael Porter’s book Competitive Advantage of Nations is that nations, and the firms in those nations, gain competitive advantage in industries where the home demand gives their companies a clear early picture of emerging buyer needs and where demanding buyers pressure companies to innovate faster and achieve more sophisticated competitive advantages. These winning products can then be competitive in a global market. This was true for Japanese auto industry in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and it is true for China today. There are 1.4 billion customers in China. For background read the following:Lassa, T. (Feb 19, 2020). These Chinese Car Brands Are Racing to Get to the U.S. First. (Links to an external site.)For this assignment, you will need to determine your unit of analysis. This could be:The entire national (such as the U.S.) auto industry, in which case you are reporting the national automotive trade group.A specific company (such as Ford, Honda, Vantas, etc.), in which case you are reporting to the vice president of marketing for the company.A specific product category within a company (such as the consumer truck lines in Ford Motor Company, not a specific brand of trucks at Ford), in which case you are reporting the divisional head of marketing for the company.Discussion IssuesSpecify and justify why you chose your unit of analysis.Identify two items you consider to be the most important for each: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Justify in your statements why you consider these to be the most important considerations for each SWOT category.Back your statements with citations to relevant research.Identify current competitive advantages for your unit of analysis and how to protect those competitive advantagesMake and justify strategic recommendations on:How to turn the identified weaknesses into strengths,How to react to threats,How to pursue opportunities.
