Building capability 2013 - Aligning resourcing strategy with business strateg...Emma Mirrington
Nick Kemsley argues that strategic workforce planning (SWP) is often ineffective because it fails to adequately connect resourcing strategy with business strategy. He outlines three key reasons for this: context, approach, and capability. For context, SWP needs to connect discussions about business strategy with discussions about organizational capability and risk. For approach, many organizations build spreadsheets rather than gain strategic insights. They also fail to use SWP to inform strategy and planning processes. For capability, SWP requires skills like working with ambiguity, scenario planning, and diagnosing organizational implications - skills many HR functions lack. Kemsley advocates connecting SWP more closely to business risk agendas and working earlier to inform strategy.

Managers determine when to conduct research based on time constraints, available data, the importance of the decision, and whether research benefits outweigh costs. Major research topics include general business conditions, finance, management, marketing, information systems, and corporate social responsibility. Research is increasingly global and uses the internet to gather information from around the world.
The document provides an overview of business research methods. It defines business research and outlines its importance. The key phases of the research process are identified as problem definition, developing an approach, research design formulation, data collection, data analysis, and reporting.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

5. BUSINESS RESEARCH
• RESEARCH INFORMATION IS NEITHER INTUITIVE NOR HAPHAZARDLY
GATHERED.
• LITERALLY, RESEARCH (RE-SEARCH) -“SEARCH AGAIN”
• BUSINESS RESEARCH MUST BE OBJECTIVE
• DETACHED AND IMPERSONAL RATHER THAN BIASED
• IT FACILITATES THE MANAGERIAL DECISION PROCESS FOR ALL ASPECTS OF A
BUSINESS.
9. BASIC RESEARCH
• ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND THE LIMITS OF KNOWLEDGE.
• NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE SOLUTION TO A PRAGMATIC PROBLEM.
10. BASIC RESEARCH EXAMPLE
• IS EXECUTIVE SUCCESS CORRELATED WITH HIGH NEED FOR ACHIEVEMENT?
• ARE MEMBERS OF HIGHLY COHESIVE WORK GROUPS MORE SATISFIED THAN
MEMBERS OF LESS COHESIVE WORK GROUPS?
• DO CONSUMERS EXPERIENCE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IN LOW-INVOLVEMENT
SITUATIONS?
11. "THE SECRET OF SUCCESS IS TO KNOW SOMETHING NOBODY ELSE KNOWS. "

13. APPLIED RESEARCH EXAMPLES
• SHOULD MCDONALDS ADD ITALIAN PASTA DINNERS TO ITS MENU?
• BUSINESS RESEARCH TOLD MCDONALD’S IT SHOULD NOT?
• SHOULD PROCTER & GAMBLE ADD A HIGH-PRICED HOME TEETH BLEACHING
KIT TO ITS PRODUCT LINE?
• RESEARCH SHOWED CREST WHITESTRIPS WOULD SELL WELL AT A RETAIL
PRICE OF $44
15. SCIENTIFIC METHOD
• THE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE (FACTS FROM
OBSERVATION OR EXPERIMENTATION) TO CONFIRM OR DISPROVE PRIOR
CONCEPTIONS.
16. THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF A STRATEGY
• IDENTIFYING PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
• DIAGNOSIS AND ASSESSMENT
• SELECTING AND IMPLEMENTING A COURSE OF ACTION
• EVALUATING THE COURSE OF ACTION
17. EVALUATION RESEARCH
• EVALUATION RESEARCH IS THE FORMAL, OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT AND
APPRAISAL OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH A GIVEN ACTIVITY, PROJECT, OR
PROGRAM HAS ACHIEVED ITS OBJECTIVES.
18. PERFORMANCE-MONITORING
RESEARCH
• RESEARCH THAT REGULARLY PROVIDES FEEDBACK FOR EVALUATION AND
CONTROL
• INDICATES THINGS ARE OR ARE NOT GOING AS PLANNED
• RESEARCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO EXPLAIN WHY SOMETHING “WENT WRONG”
19. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT
(TQM)
• A BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY THAT EMBODIES THE BELIEF THAT THE
MANAGEMENT PROCESS MUST FOCUS ON INTEGRATING CUSTOMER-DRIVEN
QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION.
20. TQM
• STRESSES CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF PRODUCT QUALITY AND SERVICE.
• MANAGERS IMPROVE DURABILITY AND ENHANCE FEATURES AS THE PRODUCT
AGES.
• MANAGERS STRIVE TO IMPROVE DELIVERY AND OTHER SERVICES TO KEEP
THEIR COMPANIES COMPETITIVE
21. DETERMINING WHEN TO CONDUCT
BUSINESS RESEARCH
• TIME CONSTRAINTS
• AVAILABILITY OF DATA
• NATURE OF THE DECISION
• BENEFITS VERSUS COSTS
