Chapter Review/ Discussion Questions (CRQs) – 10% marks
At the end of each chapter of the text book, there are chapter review questions (CRQs) which are meant to review and test the student’s understanding of the chapter. The facilitator will chose and then allocate the CRQs to each group during week 2 for class presentations in weeks 3 to 7. Some of these questions are being recommended by Stone as possible essay questions which are frequently asked in examinations throughout the world. The time for each presentation may vary from 10 to 20 minutes followed by class discussions. The group’s power-point presentations, both soft and hard copies, must be submitted to the course facilitator on or before the presentation. No written report is required for CRQs. The class and the facilitator will evaluate each group’s presentation. A blank evaluation form will be made available in class and posted in Moodle. However, the MBA 423 Human Resource Management GSB, FBE, USP facilitator has the final say in terms of the final marks to be allocated to each group.

Talent management refers to the skills of attracting highly skilled workers, of integrating new workers, and developing and retaining current workers to meet current and future business objectives.
HR must become incredibly flexible to adapt to this dynamic landscape. Personalized learning delivered through mobile devices can help employees keep up with changing skill requirements. Further, tools to govern the remote workforce – without hampering engagement or productivity will be critical to the future of HR. And as we learn that the gig workforce is here to stay, HR will have to develop skills to manage this diverse workforce, learning additionally how to choose the best technology to handle such a workforce.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

unwilling to tolerate unethical behavior from their executives.
• Ethical behavior should be core component of company culture.
