 Management by objective to me means to understand the vision or end goal of the organization and then convey that vision to others in the organization to commit to achieving that goal.  To do this one must model their performance around measurable objectives.  It is like buying into the plan and motivating others to buy into it with you.  Management by objective is actually an effective tool to get employees to focus on the reward for their performance in helping to achieve the goal of the organization.

In your opinion, what role does culture play in international expansion by  a corporation? 

Complete an analysis of the key external factors that have implications for successful implementation of your organization’s VMO, strategy and goals/objectives. You will examine your organization’s industry and the competitive conditions/positioning affecting it now or likely to do so in the future. Submit your work in your assignment folder in the form of an approximate 2,000-word double-spaced APA-formatted paper. The title page, reference list, and any appendices are not included in this suggested word count. You do not need to include an abstract.

Your paper should address these topics:

1. A brief explanation of the industry (or industries) in which your organization operates as well as context for your organization’ current positioning.
2. Analyze the current conditions in your organization’s industry and in its relevant general environment and their likely implications for successful implementation of your organization’s strategic goals and related actions. Be sure to address the PESTEL framework.
3. Apply Porter’s Five-Forces Model to enrich your understanding of the environment in which your organization is now or may be operating. The Five Forces model should stress that this model is used to evaluate the industry, not your selected organization’s activities. The model should be used to isolate the dominant force(s) in the industry faced by all competitors and that produce the greatest threat to your organization’s profits and/or strategy. You should discuss how your firm can provide a defense against this threat or threats. 
4. Describe your organization’s strategic group and construct a map to show its relative market position. Add in a discussion of your rationale for the grouping.
5. Summarize the threats and opportunities facing your organization gleaned from your analysis. (SWOT analysis) Submit the SWOT format in Table form and add in some narrative to discuss the threats and opportunities in more detail. Explain in your discussion (not in the table) why you selected them and how they relate to the VMO and organization’s strategy.
6. Evaluate the extent to which your organization’s current strategy appears a good match for the competitive conditions it confronts or any gaps that must be addressed.
7. Add in a strong conclusion that ensures the reader leaves your paper with a clear recap of your key points.

Write a project plan for either your work in this class or other project you want to chose (fictional or real).  The format is for you to chose and it can be narrative, visual, or other method

Read Socrates Discovers Generic Management by Xenophon in your Phase 1 resources. Socrates believed that leadership skills were generic enough to be transferable in any situation. Socrates believed that whether you are leading a chorus or an army, the leadership skills are the same.

Discuss the following for this assignment:

• Defend or      justify your agreement or disagreement with Socrates’ belief in generic      leadership skills. 
• Compare      and contrast your concept of leadership from 10–15 years ago to now?      Evaluate the influences that changed your concept of leadership.

Post a question based on an article, book, video, podcast, or any other current (less than 4 years old) material relevant to the current unit’s key topic. You are encouraged to use the Park course library to find an article.  The article must support a business case for HR management. Each student must post a question based on their article no later than Tuesday of each week in order to receive full discussion points. If you miss the Tuesday deadline ten percent will be deducted from the final discussion grade for the week. The Tuesday deadline enhances the discussion area and provides others with an opportunity to comment on your posts. 

Each student must also respond (reply) to at least two other student’s posted questions, a student’s response to a question, or to instructor input.  Two peer responses are due each week.

All initial questions input must be accompanied by a summary of the selected article. There is no length requirement for the question. However, the question must be comprehensive (a summary analysis of the key article points followed by a question that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no response. The peer responses are required to be comprehensive and clearly state your reason for agreeing or disagreeing with the post in a professional manner. Peer responses are not just short responses like: “I agree.”  Peer responses must include data or other information that makes an HR business case for the response (with at least one source for support).

In the Module 4 Reflective Discussion, please reflect on everything you have learned in this course, by addressing the following: 

Paragraphs 1-3: 

Given the readings and assignments in the course, identify and discuss three important concepts applicable to your work experience, profession, and/or career plans for the future. Describe how each applies.

Paragraph 4:

What part of the course (background materials, assignments, and so forth) helped to shape or reshape your perceptions of the role of HRM in the private sector? 

 Measurable objectives are goal points for specific hopefuls achievements.  These objective types state a goal/change that is needing to happen.  Measurable objectives are important for keeping a project on course and focused on specific goal points.  Meeting these goal points ensures everything is running smoothly and stakeholders are satisfied

Probability and nonprobability are the two general categories of sampling. Probability sampling uses random selection, whereas nonprobability sampling does not. For example, if you wanted to study the effects of divorce on the psychological development of adolescents, you could gather a population of a certain number of adolescents whose parents were divorced. Then, out of that population, you could randomly select 25 of those people. If you wanted to use nonprobability sampling, you would choose specific people who had met predetermined criteria. For this Discussion, consider how samples would be chosen for both probability and nonprobability sampling structures.

Post your explanation of the following:

• Using your research problem and the refined question you developed in Week 4, develop two sampling structures: probability and nonprobability.
• Explain who would be included in each sample and how each sample would be selected.
• Be specific about the sampling structures you chose, evaluating both strengths and limitations of each.
