“Research from London's school of economics has identified that a company’s culture
is eight times more influential on performance variance than a company's strategy or
business plan, yet while over 90% of all organizations have a business plan or strategy,
less than 5% have a plan for developing their organizational culture.”
Benjamin Tonna, in Minessence eZine No. 47 —22 Sep, 2011
Organizational Life-cycle
• In the beginning the values are the values of the founders.
• If society values what the organization does as a result if it living the
founders’ values then it will become successful and norms will emerge
around the founding values in relation to “how-things-are-done-
around-here”. It will be a highly cohesive organization.
• The organization’s success could go on for years, however, often
complacency sets in.
• During the complacency phase one of two things may happen: (a) the
organization loses touch with the values of its founders and strays to
some other path which its clients don’t value, or (b) the values of
society change and the organization ignores this, continuing to believe
that what made it successful in the past will always make it successful.
• After complacency, if no attention is given to the organization’s values,
comes decline.
• There are now only three possible destinies for the organization: (i) it
ceases to exist, (ii) it continues to barely exist with none of its former
glory, or (iii) it gives attention to the values of its founders, its people,
its clients and society, and re-invents itself around new values.

HR Forecasting Techniques
• Zero-based forecasting – uses
current level as starting point
for determining future staffing
needs
• Bottom-up approach – each
level of organization, starting
with lowest, forecasts its
requirements to provide
aggregate of employment
needs
11
HR Forecasting Techniques (Continued)
• Mathematical models –Assist in
forecasting. Relationship
between sales demand and
number of employees needed is
positive one.
• Simulation – technique with
experimenting with real-world
situation through a
mathematical model

Forecasting HR Requirements
• Estimate of numbers and
kinds of employees the
organization will need at
future dates
• Demand for firm’s goods
or services must be
forecast
• Forecast is then converted
into people requirements
14
Forecasting HR Availability
• Determining whether the firm will be able to
secure employees with the necessary skills,
and from what sources these individuals may
be obtained
• Show whether the needed employees may be
obtained from within the company, from
outside the organization, or from a
combination of the two sources
15
Surplus of Employees
• Restricted hiring – employees
who leave are not replaced
• Reduced hours
• Early retirement
• Layoffs
16
Shortage of Workers Forecasted
• Creative recruiting
• Compensation incentives – premium
pay is one method
• Training programs – prepare previously
unemployable people for positions
• Different selection standards – alter
current criteria
