Secondly it will go onto explaining different approaches to interviews which have specific strengths and limitations. Next, it will explain some advantages and disadvantages of using interviews as a research method with consideration to different types of interviews. This will be done by explaining ways in which the researcher may find interviewing useful and showing barriers which can prevent this method from being useful to researchers. The final aspects of this essay will sum up the pros and cons of using interviews as a research method. Gillham 2000 said that interview is a conversation which aims to find answers to particular questions.
Grueber main responsibility was to communicate the company’s information to the investors; action that was not performed well after the company went public on February 18, 1998. Grueber is the new leader of the IR department. “A leader guides others to explore and discover new things. This is done by touching on many of the concepts covered in these essays and in my book: getting people to be curious and ask questions; getting them to review results skeptically; getting them to think inno- vatively and not along the well-trodden paths that others have already followed; getting them to operate without disciplinary or interpersonal barriers; getting them to be thorough and meticulous; and getting them to aim as one while thinking as many” (Fetzer 2005) I believe Grueber should have asked for more communication between management and their constituencies. The Company were not used to sharing their strategic vision with public.
By hiring yourself the company would be more familiar with current and past experiences the company has faced with different staffing situations and they would be able to improve on any mistakes they may have had. Tanglewood could choose to outsource in a few situations. (Outsourcing involves the use of outside organizations to recruit and select employees). In the beginning, with a lack of professional human
As the employees continued to develop their own positions as they saw fit, each person’s responsibilities changed and altered away from the initial role of the position in order to better mold to the person fulfilling the position. The rules and responsibilities of these positions were not standardized or formally written down in order to establish the position. This case study demonstrated a possible outcome which could be generated due to a very low level of formalization. This case study demonstrates a company on the precipice of taking the step from the collectivity stage to the formalization and control stage of life-cycle forces. Life-cycle forces are the predictable and natural forces and pressures that build as an organization grows which forces the organization to change as it grows and which usually need to be addressed in order to continue growth (Hitt, Miller & Colella, 2011).

Including technology in a traditional people-oriented business has created a significant change not only for the business, but also for employees. Explain how you would communicate this type of technological change to your HR team, as well as the organizations.
Week One During the first week of our studies, the team members learned multiple facets of organizational communication. The team learned different theories concerning personalities and employee interactions. The equity theory is an important factor to determine the reaction of individuals for different situations such as pay, promotions, and tenure. The team learned that matching individual’s personalities with jobs could be a challenging endeavor and personality tests could indicate the individual may not have the proper personality for his or her current job position. We learned that management members might consider not using tests to determine individual’s personalities, because sometimes only judgments on the individual’s abilities indicate stronger personality traits then personality tests.
A CV is also a living document which can be continually be updated. It can include a variety of different things about the applicant giving the employers the best insight of them. It can also be adapted to focus on certain points depending on the job being applied for. | Weakness | A disadvantage would be that the CV may not always contain all the key aspects and facts relevant to the job the applicant is applying for. This is not because they do not have enough to write about or have not written a good CV but because there are so many subtle bits of information and it cannot be covered in just one or two pages.
Although the studies look at different theories of leadership, they both attempt to address personal influences on leadership. Colbert, Judge, Cho and Wang assert that the use of self-ratings alone inaccurately depict the relationship between personality and leadership but the inclusion of observer ratings coupled with self-ratings can explain variances in leadership. Dai and De Meuse argue that a person-centered approach is key to understanding leadership profiles across organizations and that success in leadership is not solely rooted in the skills-based theory offered to date. The researchers for each study, referred to as Article I and Article II moving forward, challenge the existing theories, though not in their entirety, and offer exceptions to the accepted premises of both theories. Comparison of the Research Questions Each of the researchers takes a different approach to generate significant data and answer critical questions about the prominent leadership theories of our time.
This system that is founded on the job analysis has lead to a formal structure job descriptions which is how the pay scale the company uses is put in place. Employees will step up and help the company by doing other duties or help with the duties of new positions so the company can stay competitive in the market. Companies will ask employees to do this if they have had to cut staff or if they are adding certain jobs to the company but do not want to add any more staff. In order for the company to stay competitive with other companies each company will need to have policies in place that will help and maintain what they have already established. By having these policies it will show that the company is willing to be competitive and will do what it takes to recruit and retain employees.
A career change may also be a result of external pressure, such as a lay-off or termination. Whatever the circumstances, thinking about the next career move can be both stressful and energizing. As working adults begin the "re-careering" process, a common first step is higher education. In fact, 71 percent of adults considering a career change believe that education will play a role in their career paths; 84 percent agree that education is important in achieving their future professional goals (Zepeda, 2004). Experienced professionals are returning to the classroom not only to acquire knowledge, but also to seek interaction with other working adults and discuss how theories are applied in the business world.
