a and b. e. a, b and c. True and False 1. The true test of supply’s contribution is when the chief executive officer and the management team recognize the value of supply and suppliers in reducing prices paid for goods and services. 2. Sustainability initiatives include the effective and efficient capture and disposition of downstream products from customers and the reduction of the impact of the organization’s supply chains on the natural environment 3.

• Consider how you could influence this policy to meet your clients’ needs. If you work for a government organization, you may not be able • • Describe a social policy that may affect your future position as a human services worker. • Various environmental and governmental policies directly affect social practices in the field of HR. If an organization changes the social policy related to the removal of housing benefits to the employees, then it can raise several implications for the employees working in an organization. The main purpose of social policies is to welfare people by providing them facilities such as education , health, housing, safe working conditions, fair compensation etc.
Even if countries began to buy less, the implications of their actions on the global village would be catastrophic. If consumption goes down, then less people will be required to work and companies will have to start making cuts to their workforce because they are turning in less profit. The Buy Nothing Day would throw the world into a deeper recession then it already is in. America and the rest of the world have to consume more and spend its way out of the recession and debt. The United States was built on the principle of having debt and spending its way out of it.
Between 1945 and 1979 the government increasingly interfered in the economy by creating state run industries which usually took the form of public corporations. However, from 1979 onwards we saw an era of privatization in which industries were sold off to private shareholders to create a more competitive business environment. Taxation policy affects business costs for example a rise in corporation tax (on business profits) has the same effect as an increase in costs. Businesses can pass some of this tax on to consumers in higher prices, but it will also affect the bottom line. Other business taxes are environmental
This may ‘include initiatives such as employee training, career development, coaching, mentoring, succession planning, key employee identification, and organisational development’ (Mohammed et all, 2013). The aim of HRD is to produce competent and qualified employees who perform assigned jobs and contribute to the organisations’ development and goal accomplishment efficiently and effectively (Scully-Russ, 2012). In recent years, HRD has moved beyond a narrow conception of training and development to a view that embraces the idea of learning at individual and organisational levels as a source of competitive advantage (Scully-Russ, 2012). A number of forces such as economic changes, technology, globalisation, e-commerce, attracting and retaining talent, changing demographics and diversity of the workforce, and the development of knowledge have all contributed to the view that learning is the only strategy to cope with change and organisations can respond by viewing themselves as a total learning system
Globalization By HEBSMB49 Workshop 1 assignment Due January 18, 2011 Submitted January 18, 2011 Globalization Introduction Modern technology has permanently and dramatically altered the landscape in which businesses operate. Advances in computers and telecommunications have enabled businesses to operate around the clock, reducing the amount of resources wasted, while maximizing efficiency and providing maximum results to shareholders and consumers alike. What is Globalization? Globalization refers to the process by which barriers to trade between countries are reduced or eliminated, advances in transportation and communication make distances between countries immaterial, and national economies are gradually merging
The factory system affected American life in many ways. First, it helped the American economy grow because goods were cheaper, more people could buy them. As people bought more, the factories needed more workers and more workers meant more people who were earning money to buy things. Second, the factory system contributed to the growth of cities. A single factory might hire thousands of workers.
As stated from this week’s reading an Outcome Evaluation is “Based on the project’s ecological systems social constructionist theoretical orientations and its focus on the individual, family, peer, and school domains, the outcome evaluation will provide better understanding to the three key evaluation questions: how effective is the intervention strategies, alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and family capacity, and the ability of the project to be replicated” (Yuen & Terao, 2003 Page 106). Some examples of Outcome Evaluations are as followed: 1) The government was able to increase the grant award for $10,000 to $20,000 for the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. 2) The PEACE Domestic Violence Agency has implemented the no turn away rule after there has been a recent rise in domestic violence cases. These are some of the characteristics of process and outcome evaluation as well as examples of each one. Each one of these steps of the process of evaluation goes together because they help to find the issues in the program and learn from data what the agency can do to not only make the program run more efficiently but also effectively.
Businesses often pay individuals a wage based on current market standards. Free-market economies usually dictate specific wages for various jobs. Governments attempting to subvert market prices can reduce the demand for new workers due to a high minimum wage. Individuals can face a few negative effects from minimum wage laws. Minimum wage increases an individual annual salary, bumping the employee into a higher marginal tax bracket.
The reasoning being job lossduring the Great Recession combined with higher wages like construction, manufacturing and finance hard, also job growth has is in low-wage industries. This is not a short term trend and the government is showing that to protect its citizens from going below their standard of living, hitting poverty level, more consumers spending and protecting them from employers. The standard of living is different from whomever you may talk to. Setting a minimum wage deriving from ones standard of living has many aspects to it such as; general economic conditions, nominal gross domestic product; inflation labor supply and demand, business operating costs and the number and trend of bankruptcies. Every-one citizen needs to have minimum salary needed to maintain minimum living standard.
