1. What are the major strengths of job control unionism? The major weaknesses? Has job control unionism outlived its usefulness?
2. Full-fledged labor–management partnerships are rare. Why? In your answer, do not blame only labor unions. In other words, be sure to identify reasons why a variety of stakeholders (shareholders, managers, employees, and union leaders) might resist the formation of labor–management partnerships.
3. In a concise paragraph, paraphrase what you have learned about globalization to explain to a policymaker why globalization has profound implications for domestic employment issues. Based on these implications, should enforceable labor standards (a social clause) be added to free trade agreements? If so, what should the standards be and how should they be enforced?

Respond to classmate initial post. 275 words, 

First of all — DO NOT just write “yep, I agree” — that’s not helpful.

Be very careful with phrases that mean “I feel” — feelings are real, and usually based on something — so, when you start with “I feel” — continue with “because …..” Chances are pretty good that you’ll see the “I feel” part isn’t necessary.

When you say “I agree” — follow it up with a clause beginning with “because” — that will further explain your position.

Don’t shy away from conflict or objections in your responses — that’s what’s interesting.

I’m looking for your original thoughts — that means that I want to see what else you think on the topic. So, extend your ideas a bit — push the envelope, take risks, try out ideas that you don’t believe in. This also means that you can’t just copy and paste stuff.

Also, include references and citations. APA Format.

Overview

With the justification of an HRIS solidified, you need to show  your client how you will implement the HRIS using one of the change  models discussed in our text. You will also need to explain and justify  cost associated with implementation via a cost benefit analysis. You  want to ensure the system is properly maintained and evaluated for  continuous improvement. Therefore, you will include a maintenance and  evaluation plan in your proposal. 

Instructions 

Write a 3–4 page proposal, in which you do the following: 

Change Management

1. Discuss the various reasons system implementation fails.  Compare and contrast various change models. Then select a change model  to use during system implementation.

Explain the various steps that should be included to ensure the  change model is effective. 

HRIS Implementation

1. Discuss the activities that are necessary prior to the system  going live, and provide a timeline for these activities. Specify which  change management team member will be responsible for each activity, and  explain their role.    

Cost Benefit Analysis

1. Create a cost benefit analysis matrix for the HRIS vendor you  chose during Phase III: Design. Analyze the cost justification  strategies that you will use to justify the cost of the HRIS, including  data that identify each benefit and cost component examined, estimates  of the dollar amount for each, estimates on when the organization will  incur each cost and receive each benefit, and documentation justifying  each decision you made in listing these benefits. 

Maintenance
