HR Fundamentals (Corey)
• HR (Human Resource) function- Window through which to observe a
business.
Approach: “Tell us about your business”
• Translate external issues into internal actions.
• HR is not the business, HR supports the business (creates value).
• HR professionals need to understand the business.
HR Stage 1-
Administrative duties (Employee Compensation, Attendance,
Pension/Retirement, Employee Recruitment)
HR Stage 2-
Sourcing, Rewards, Training, Communication
HR Stage 3-
Integration (Simultaneously work with different functions
such as Finance, Marketing, Operations).
Heightened Individual Attention (Work Place Environment,
Personality Screening-Myers Briggs)
HR Stage 4-
Realize External Business Conditions “HR from the outside
in”
HR working from the outside, in (Corey)
• Employee Placement/ Promotion- Based on customer expectations
“employees our customers want to work with”
• Training from the outside- customers, suppliers, investors, regulators help
design training programs
• Rewards from the outside- customers (determine best performing
employees) & investors
• Performance Review- customers & investors asses performance standards
• Communication from the outside- Employee messages shared with
customers & investors
• Culture from the outside- identity of business from customer’s perspective
Macro-environment that affects HR (Corey)
• Society (changing LGBT policies)
• Technology (Electric Vehicles, Solar power)
• Economies (U.S. Housing Bubble)
• Politics (Arab Spring 2011)
• Environment (Hurricane Katrina-Damage businesses, affect business
suppliers)
• Demographics (China’s one Child Policy-population control)
Business Stakeholders (Corey)
• Definition: Those that have an interest or concern in a business.
• HR Function: Create and deliver expectations to each stakeholder

For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about John A.docxevonnehoggarth79783
For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about "John Adams" as well as any event in U.S. history that is relevant to your major area of study or of interest to you. You will write about John Adams from the perspective of another historical personality who lived at the same time as the person or event you are going to describe.
For your historical personality, try to select someone from an under-represented population (examples of possible perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner Truth). This analysis is to make you think about how events/people’s actions were interpreted at the time.
Key Points::
Remember that you will be writing from the perspective of a historical person about another person or an event from a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. From your historical person’s perspective, provide a thorough summary of the person or event you’ve chosen to write about, including the incidents that took place and any key individuals involved or affected.
Address the general importance of the person or event in the context of U.S. history.
Now, explain specifically how the person or event changed “your” daily life—“you” being the historical persona you have adopted.
Think long-term: How will the person or the event you are describing make a long-term impact in the lives of people who are in the under-represented group to which your historical person/perspective belongs?
Paper Requirements:
Your paper must be four to six pages, not including the required references and title pages.
Use at least five sources, not including the textbook. Include a scholarly journal article. Include at least one
primary
source from those identified in the syllabus.
Definition of a Primary Source
: A primary source is any source, document or artifact that was created at the time of the event. It was usually created by someone who witnessed the event, lived during or even shortly afterwards, or somehow would have first-hand knowledge of that event. A secondary source, by contrast, is written by a historian or someone writing about the event after it happened.
Have an introduction and strong thesis statement. Make use of support and examples supporting your thesis
Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.
Format your paper according to the
CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
(Links to an external site.)

For this paper choose two mythological narratives that we have examined so far in this course, or that you are otherwise personally familiar with. The two myths that you choose should have one or more elements in common, possibly including (but not limited to):
Overarching story (e.g., creation, flood) or story elements (e.g., descent into the underworld, establishment of divine rulership, rapture of mortals by gods, divine disguise)
Narrative structure (e.g., repetitive patterns, discursion)
Themes (e.g., love, jealousy, mortality, revenge, mutability/transformation, limits of human power/knowledge)
Characters (e.g., tricksters)
Cultural functions (e.g., reinforcement of societal norms, explanation of origins of society, explanation of natural phenomena, incorporation in ritual practices, entertainment)
Compare and contrast the two myths you choose, taking into consideration the various elements noted above and any others you deem relevant. (In making comparisons, you do not necessarily need to apply the specifically "comparativist" approach discussed in the course as one historical strand of mythological analysis.)
While you are welcome to reference external sources, this is not a research paper and the use of secondary sources is not required or expected. If you choose to examine a myth not discussed in the course, however, please indicate the source from which you have taken this.

1. Some common stereotypes that coincide with the LGBTQ community are promiscuous, non-religious, flamboyant, mentally ill, high sex drives, etc.
2. The media plays a role in establishing these stereotypes because the general public is always watching these shows, reading the news, and listening to stories about different cultures and groups and media that they may not see or interact with in their lives. Therefore, media is an outlet to show these things in a easy way to gain knowledge about people without meeting people face-to-face apart of these groups when sometimes the stereotypes shown can't represent everyone in those groups.
3. Currently, in Marvel's Runaways, that ended in December, there are two lesbian superheros that share a kiss at the end of a season. Karolina, one of the characters, wants to get away from her childhood of religious upbringing and wants to pursue her own life with her superpower of glowing colors. Nico is shown with a Gothic appearance and can be seen as aggressive but down to earth as well. The War at Home was a television show on Fox and a character named Kenny, who is sixteen years old, is kicked out of his house by his parents after finding out he is gay.
a. There are some differences in the characters as Karolina is more flamboyant and colorful, compared to Nico who is goth and likes to remain strictly to business. Kenny is quiet most of the time about his life, especially about his gay crush until his p.

This is the Case Study I chose:
Martin is a 21 year-old business major at a large university. Over the past few weeks his family and friends have noticed increasingly bizarre behaviors. On many occasions they’ve overheard him whispering in an agitated voice, even though there is no one nearby. Lately, he has refused to answer or make calls on his cell phone, claiming that if he does it will activate a deadly chip that was implanted in his brain by evil aliens. His parents have tried to get him to go with them to a psychiatrist for an evaluation, but he refuses. He has accused them on several occasions of conspiring with the aliens to have him killed so they can remove his brain and put it inside one of their own. He has stopped attended classes altogether. He is now so far behind in his coursework that he will fail if something doesn’t change very soon. Although Martin occasionally has a few beers with his friends, he’s never been known to abuse alcohol or use drugs. He does, however, have an estranged aunt who has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals over the years due to erratic and bizarre behavior.
The Psychological disorder is: SCHIZOPHRENIA

Take a photograph of the print or save an image of the print, and include it in the worksheet.In Unit II, our assignment was to describe an artwork using the Visual Elements. We can think of the Design Principles as a way that the artist organized the Visual Elements. Instead of focusing on the small parts of the artwork (like line, shape, and mass) the Design Principles look at the whole artwork and how all the elements work together. Provide a detailed description of the design principles in your 2D print, using full and complete sentences. For Design Principles, make sure you describe how the artist used the ones in Chapter 5: unity and variety, balance, emphasis, repetition and rhythm, and scale and proportion. Questions to consider are included below:
Unity: what elements work together to make a harmonious whole?
Variety: What creates diversity?
Balance: Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical?
Emphasis: What is the focal point?
Repetition and rhythm: Is an element repeated?
Scale and proportion: Are the objects in proportion to each other?
Be sure to describe exactly where in the artwork you see each Principle. You'll want to describe each artwork using the terms we learned in this unit's reading. Remember to write in complete sentences and use proper grammar.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Link Between Development Stages
& Staffing Strategies
1) Embryonic Stage (new organizations)
High growth rates, basic product lines, heavy emphasis on
product engineering, and little or no customer loyalty
Management selection strategy:
Entrepreneurs who thrive in high-risk environments
*
The Link Between Development Stages
& Staffing Strategies
2) High-Growth Stage
Refine and extend product lines; build customer loyalty
Concerns: fighting for market share and building excellence in
the management team

develop economies of scale
*
The Link Between Development Stages
& Staffing Strategies
4) Aging
Struggle to hold market share in a declining market, and
extreme cost control obtained through consistency and
29. centralized procedures; economic survival becomes the primary
motivation
*
Organizational Culture
Organizational culture is embedded and transmitted through
mechanisms such as the following:
Formal statements of organizational philosophy.
Promotion criteria.
Stories, legends, and myths about key people and events.
What leaders pay attention to, measure, and control.
Implicit, and possibly unconscious, criteria that leaders use to
determine who fits key slots.
*
The Implications of Organizational
Culture for Staffing Decisions
Cultures vary across organizations; individuals will consider
this information if it is available to them in their job-search
processRecruiters assess person-job fit by focusing on specific
knowledge, skills, and abilities.Linking staffing decisions to
cultural factors may ensure employees have internalized the
strategic intent and core values of the enterprise.
30. Individuals who choose jobs and organizations that are
consistent with their own values, beliefs, and attitudes are more
likely to be productive, satisfied employees
*
Screening & Selection Methods:
Employment Application Form,
Statistics show a relationship between applicant responses to
specific questions and later measures of job performance; these
weighted application blanks (WABs) are highly predictive.
High rate of accuracy for determining those who will stay on
the job longer.
Screening & Selection Methods:
Recommendations
Meaningful recommendations include four major
characteristics:Degree of writer familiarity with the
candidateDegree of writer familiarity with the job in
questionSpecific examples of performanceIndividuals or groups
to whom the candidate is compared
31. Screening & Selection Methods:
Reference Checks
job-related information only.Stay away from subjective
areas.Evaluate the credibility of the source of the reference
material. When possible, use public records to evaluate on-the-
job behavior or personal conduct.
Assessment Methods in SelectionDrug Screening.
Began in military and spread to sports world.
75% of drug user have a job. Two Controversial Selection
Techniques
Graphology (Handwriting) Analysis.
Polygraph Examinations. Integrity Test.Mental – Ability Test.
Simply, Drug user employee effect the work and the
performance since the statics shows that drug user miss more
days of work, show up late, and change jobs more often. Study
of characters or personality through handwriting. 80% of
French companies are use it.Mental – Ability Test: the major
types of mental- ability used in business world today and it is
include measures of general intelligence, verbal and non verbal,
and numerical skills.
*
Assessment Methods in Selection
32. Validity Generalization.
Personality Measures:
Big Five:
Neuroticism.
Extraversion.
Openness to experience.
Agreeableness.
Conscientiousness.
Projective Measures.
Personality Measures: Five personality characteristic
particularly relevant to performance at work are Know as Big
Five:Neuroticism: concerns the degree to which an individual is
insecure, anxious, depressed, and emotional verses calm , self
confident and cool. Extraversion: concerns the degree to which
an individual is assertive, and sociable verses reserved, timed
and quit.
Projective Measures:
*
Assessment Methods in Selection
Measures of Emotional Intelligence( EI ).
Personal- History Data.
Employment Interviews.
Work – Sample Test:
Difficult to fake.
Produce smaller minority/non-minority group differences in
performance.
Not cost-effective when large numbers of people must be
evaluated
33. Personal- History Data: Basic test which based on the
assumption of what the person will do in future is what he or
she did in the past.
Wok- Sample Test: or situational tests, are standardized
measures of behavior whose primary objective is to assess the
ability to do rather than the ability to know
Difficult to fake : since they are miniature replicas of actual job
requirements.
Produce smaller minority/non-minority group differences in
performance, along with modest losses in predictive validity;
however, since the content of the test reflects the essential
content of the job, the tests demonstrate content-oriented
evidence of validity
*
Most Popular Situational Tests
Leaderless- Group Discussion.
In- Basket Test.
The Situational- Judgment Test.
Leaderless Group Discussion:
34. A group of participants is given a job-related topic and is asked
simply to carry on a discussion about it for a period of time
In – Basket Test: A situational test designed to simulate
important aspects of a position, the “in-basket” tests an
individual’s ability to work independently
The Situational- Judgment Test: Consist of a series of job-
related situations presented in written, verbal, or visual form.
Job applicants are asked to choose best and worst aption.
*
Assessment Centers
A method that evaluates a candidate’s potential for management
based on three sources:
Multiple assessment techniques.
Standardized methods of making inferences from such
techniques.
Pooled judgments.
Standardized methods of making inferences from such
techniques: because assessors are trained to distinguish between
effective and ineffective behaviors by the candidatesPooled
judgments from multiple assessors to rate each candidate’s
behavior
35. *
Potential Problems with the
Use of Assessment Centers
Adoption of the assessment center method without analyzing the
need for it and without adequate preparation to use it wisely
Blind acceptance of assessment data without considering other
information on candidates, such as past and current performance
The tendency to rate only general “exercise effectiveness,”
rather than performance relative to individual behavioral
dimensions, as the number of dimensions exceeds the ability of
assessors to evaluate each dimension individually
Lack of control over the information generated during
assessment.Failure to evaluate the utility of the program in
terms of dollar benefits relative to costs.
Inadequate feedback to participants

performance?
Who should the HR department deliver value to?
What should an HR department focus on?
How do you build an effective HR department?
How do you provide “good HR analytics”?
How can a HR department be a better role model?
How do you finalize HR department organization?
Conclusion: The making of a worthwhile HR department
By Abdulla & Khalid
42. Introduction: The Role of HR Professionals
In order to have a functioning HR department, the professionals
working within it must be especially competent and have a
certain level of understanding with business ethics (as discussed
in Chapter 9).
HR professionals must have the ability to work strongly as a
team as well as individually.
Chapter 10 describes in further detail what specific skills are
needed—by the business, not the individual alone--to build a
successful and functioning HR department (Ulrich et al. 227).
By Abdulla
What should HR departments focus on to improve business
performance?
“High degree of autonomy” can increase opportunities,
challenges, and group collaborations; authority should only be
implemented when absolutely necessary
-Example: Prudential PLC (227-228)
No “one-size-fits-all” approach (228)
Divide staff work when doing group projects
“Service delivery”-helps departments to better anticipate change
& account for global diversity
-Example: Accenture (228-229)
By Khalid
Who should the HR department deliver value to?
43. External Stakeholders:
Employees
Customers
Line Managers
Investors
Partners
Communities & Regulators
*Each stakeholder provides a different essential value to the
company that helps to “shape the way HR works” (as shown in
Figure 1.1, 231).
By Abdulla
What should an HR department focus on?
Accountability of managers and employees
Roles and responsibilities of individual HR groups
Business strategy
Training/development
External stakeholder activities and expectations
Overall impact
(233-237).
By Khalid
How do you build an effective HR department?
1. Create a HR business plan
Define content-stakeholders, business strategy, potential
challenges
44. Articulate vision-set goals, who you are, what you want to
accomplish, what you do
Specify outcomes-measurable, specific goals to reach
Make HR investments-analysis of “cost-benefit”, how you can
reach outcomes
Create HR structure-divide work and responsibilities
Prepare action plan-more detail of structure, with deadlines, etc.
Ensure HR competencies-how to improve, current state of
outcomes
By Abdulla
How do you finalize HR department organization?
1. Define organization design choices
Design choices: Centralized, Decentralized, Matrix, Outsourced
Different roles within each: service centers, centers of
expertise, embedded, corporate, & outsourced.
2. Align HR with Business
Match HR structure with business structure; choose appropriate
structure for your organization & their mission/goals
3. Clarify Responsibilities for each HR role
Create “engagement contract”-how HR roles will collaborate
By Khalid
How do you provide “good HR analytics”?
Use qualitative & quantitative data
“HR metrics”-shift from measuring activities to outcomes
45. It is essential for businesses and HR departments to be clear in
their intent and outcomes for analytics to be effective
(246).
By Abdulla
How can a HR department be a better role model?
Avoid being a hypocrite-don’t break your own rules
6 competence domains:
Strategic positioner-emphasis on stakeholder connections
Credible activist-relationship building between staff, group
collaboration
Capability builder-community/work environment
Change champion-improvements, implementing change
HR innovator and integrator-how new ideas complement old
Technology proponent-application of technology, research,
information
(237-245).
By Khalid
Conclusion:
The making of a worthwhile HR department
The making of a HR department is essential because it is more
powerful together than one individual HR professional.
A special emphasis should be placed on the business structure
and design because this will set the tone for the entire
department and determine its ability to collaborate within the
business.
Another essential part of creating a “worthwhile” HR
department is ensuring that all of the roles know their specific
objectives and how they work together to achieve them.
46. Value and focus should be placed on external stakeholders and
their needs.
If this is accomplished, a successful HR department can be
built.
By Abdulla
Question & Answer
1. What kind of value do communities and regulators bring to
HR development?
-Reputational value; social responsibility, regulatory
oversight,& cultural awareness (231).
2. What are the different types of external stakeholders?
-Line mangers, employees, partners, communities & regulators,
investors, & customers (231).
3. What are some of the main focal points of an HR department?
-Interacting effectively, setting clear roles/responsibilities,
structure organization, business strategy, collaboration,
accountability, connecting with stakeholder expectations (234).
4. According to the text, what is the purpose of an HR
department?
-To create a “workplace, not just a workforce.” HR departments,
and not just individual employees, can help to build a more
cohesive, understanding environment (236).
By Khalid
Question & Answer
5. What are the “four priorities for creating an effective HR
department”?
47. -Create a business plan; finalize department organization;
provide good HR analytics; be a role model (237).
6. What are the main differences between a centralized and
decentralized organization design?
-Centralized is generally used for a “strong corporate office”; it
has standardized rules, is very tightly organized with lots of
corporate oversight. Decentralized is more loosely based, used
for independent businesses. It can be customized to fit the needs
of the business and allows for more autonomy (241-242).
7. What are service centers used for?
-”Routine, administrative, and standardized work”; deliver work
to staff at a low cost (243).
8. Why would an HR department need different design models?
-Because it needs to match their outcomes and goals to the
business in which they work. For example, larger organizations
use matrix design model (a combination of both centralized &
decentralized) because it allows for expansion and employees
can take on several different roles. This would not be suitable
for smaller businesses, because they would not have enough
work or employees to fit the roles (241-242).

Virg Setzer
General Motors (GM)
Leader in innovating and designing vehicles since 1908.
GM is one of the largest automobile manufacturers
Popular U.S sub-brands include: GMC, Chevrolet, Cadillac and
GMC.
Increased international markets: Europe & South America
(Vauxhall and Opel brands).
GM label, built from its lengthy history, popular vehicles, and
loyal customers.
Newer CEO: Marry Barra
Speaker: Corey
49. GM: Problem
Speaker: Corey
Recently encountered a rather critical problem- massive 2014
recall on GM vehicles
Tarnished company’s image, profits and capital raising
IMPACT
June 2014 Recall-
2.6 million Chevy Cobalt vehicles (ignition switch defect)
Led to multiple crashes and injuries, 13 of which were fatal.
Reports indicate Cobalt recall should have been publicly
reported in Spring 2014.
July 2014- GM increased total recalls to 8.2 million (5.6 million
increase)
50. 2014 Total Recalls (first seven months) - 29 million vehicles
IMPACT
Defect made key slip into accessories position while driving.
Shut vehicle off, the airbags, and power steering.
Nonalignment Problem: 2014 Recalls
Indicates possible communication problem among senior
leadership. Charles Elson, head of the Weinberg Center for
Corporate Governance at University of Delaware's business
school mentions that:
Speaker: Corey
“The same culture that led to the (GM) bankruptcy led to these
safety issues'' (Dublin)
Key indicator of a malfunction between different departments.
51. Identified Problem:
Non-alignment and frequent conflict among the Senior
Leadership Team is causing problems between various functions
of the company; employees view the company as having a stove
pipe (silo) mentality and as a result various functions do not

Director of Operations,
1st Question Please
Silo Defined
Speaker: Corey
52. Organization collectivism:
Organization- collection of people that collaborate to form
entire operational function.
Employees have a favorable specialization or skillset.
Seated according to specializations and qualifications:
Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Operations, etc.
Departments pool together collective resources and interests.
Silos Emerge:
Employees narrowly focus on their departments resources,
activities, and people
Interact with employees in their departments more frequently
than employees in other departments.
Interaction creates personal bonds among employees of same
department.
IMPACT
GM Silo
Several different departments have to be in sync to create a
quality vehicle.
Minimize manufacturing times, trim costs, maximize available
53. resources, and realize profits.
Automotive companies (GM)-increased pressure for each
department to meet performance requirements
GM employees are narrowly focused on their departments.
Ignition problem discovered at GM vehicle test drive in 2005.
GM engineering department didn't want to take a fall.
According to the LA Times,
“The report highlights a company that operated in silos," Barra
said, "with a number of individuals seemingly looking for
reasons not to act, instead of finding ways to protect our
customers” (Hirsch).

Signs and Causes of Silo Formation
The Objectives of other departments or groups may be in
conflict with the objectives of those in the silo.
“GM Nod”- (term quoted from CEO) management nods in
54. agreement to proposed objectives outside of their departments
but then does nothing to implement them.
Meetings are schedules based on the schedules of the employees
of specific departments and they focus on the groups specific
objectives.
Employees working closely together and creating their own sub-
cultures.

Signs and Causes of Silo Formation
55. Director of Marketing,
2nd Question Please
Consequences and Threats of Silos!
Silos are a barrier to company departments collaborating with
each other.
In the GM case, departments are not in collaboration as recalls
seem to be piling up.
Limited communication.
Managers are only loyal to their own department and
employees.
Ignition switch problem in GM vehicles
highlights these points.
The company begins to function as a group of mini companies,
not one company.
The sub-cultures created become a part of the company and
people become tied to their silo.
Speaker: Dalal
56. Proposed
Solution
s for Existing Conflicts (1)
Speaker: Thomas
GM needs to develop a mission statement and make a public
announcement
Development of a mission statement will help to align all
departments and ensure they strive for a common goal
WHY?
57. Example of Mission Statement:
“Making the world’s best vehicles can only happen with the
world’s greatest employees. We take great pride in our work,
and take great care to deliver exceptional cars and a positive
ownership experience to our customers around the world”
Director of Finance,
3rd Question Please
58. Mission Statement Cost
Approximate Projected Initial Cost: $114,000
Approximate Cost Breakdown
U.S. Legal Expenses: (Trademark, Patent, Copyright) = $6,000
Global Legal Expenses: (Trademark, Patent, Copyright) =
$22,000
Global Removal Costs: (Remove existing statement from all GM
facilities i.e. websites, dealerships, warehouses, operating
plants) = $34,000
Global Implementation Costs: (Apply new mission statement to
all GM facilities i.e. websites, dealerships, warehouses,
operating plants) = $52,000
