Your team is consulting with a local manufacturing company that has 1,200 employees and is the third largest employer in the area. When averaging all of the manufacturing employees’ salary divided by the market midpoint, the organization has a 0.90 compa ratio, meaning that on average employees earn 90% of the market rate. Using the current sales and profit trend, the company has the ability to increase compensation spending by 4% annually for the next three years.

Your firm has been asked to propose three approaches for management to consider:

• increasing base pay
• adding a team incentive plan such as profit sharing or individual incentive plan based on individual performance
• a combination of base and incentive pay

• Propose a plan for each of the three approaches.
• Make a final recommendation.
• Support your points with at least one source.

Include graphics and comprehensive speaker notes on each slide that script what would be said if this information were to be presented in person.

Understanding national culture is a critical piece to conducting business operations around the globe, and HR practitioners must be prepared to take their cultural intelligence and incorporate it into the best practices of managing all HR functions.

This assessment is based on the following scenario:

You and your human resources team work for a hi-tech gaming firm in Northern California called Fighting Games. Fighting Games has offices across Europe and the Pacific Rim and more than 1200 employees in more than 50 countries. Among the biggest challenges the members and leaders of each office face is scheduling meetings in asynchronous time frames. The New York team and the Shanghai team have been assigned to work on the same project. The New York team is leading the story line and the graphics. The Shanghai team is in charge of special effects and overall integration of the game. Meetings are scheduled twice a week. The teams have been meeting, but both teams have been complaining to the executive team. The New York team has been arriving late and running the meetings much longer than they were scheduled to last. This has happened over a dozen times. The relationship between the teams seems strained and not long ago something surprising happened: the Shanghai team canceled a meeting after the New York Team had arrived late to the last three.

Consider the following points as you prepare for your assessment:

• The New York and Shanghai teams are in different time zones, which makes coordinating meetings difficult.
• There are two national cultures involved. Although the American team is multicultural, they have all lived in the US most of their lives. The Chinese team is comprised of all Chinese employees. 

Write a 3–5 page paper, using correct APA style and format, on cross-cultural leadership and how this scenario’s situation might be resolved. Include the following:

• Explain why cultural intelligence is important for HR practitioners and other organizational managers.
• Articulate recommendations to develop cultural intelligence. Make three recommendations.
• Describe how to respond and overcome the issues present in this workplace scenario.

HR and Global Ethics

Examine two (2) of the major HR ethical issues multinational corporations face when operating globally. Recommend two (2) preventative actions that HR departments can take in order to lessen the occurrence of these ethical issues. Be sure to provide a rationale for your response.

Social workers strive to make informed decisions about the interventions they implement. These decisions should be driven by what the research data say. As a result, social workers have been called to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions they implement. A common way to evaluate interventions is to use a single-subject design. This involves monitoring an outcome for an intervention implemented for one client. After a social worker works with the client to determine the outcome to be measured, the following steps to the evaluation might look like this:

• Administer the instrument before the intervention is implemented
• Implement the intervention
• Administer the same instrument, after a specified time period
• Monitor to determine if there have been any changes in the outcome

In this Discussion, you use the lens of resiliency theory when reflecting on a case from your fieldwork, and then you consider how to measure the effectiveness of a possible intervention.

To prepare, read this article listed in the Learning Resources:

• Smith-Osborne, A., & Whitehill Bolton K. (2013). Assessing resilience: A review of measures across the life course. Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work, 10(2), 111–126. doi:10.1080/15433714.2011.597305

Post:

• Reflect on your fieldwork experience, and identify a case where it would have been beneficial to employ resiliency theory. Describe the case in 2 sentences.
• Describe the presenting problem in one concise sentence.
• Describe an intervention you would implement to promote resiliency.
• Identify an instrument from the Smith-Osborne and Whitehill Bolton’s article that would be appropriate when employing a single-subject design to evaluate how effective the intervention is in increasing the client’s level of resiliency.
• Explain why you selected the instrument.
  • In other words, why would the instrument be appropriate? (Consider the age of the client and for whom the instrument was designed, how feasible it would be to administer the instrument such as cost, time to administer it, etc.).

 Review Case 6 in the text book on ethics and compliance at the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Despite the NCAA’s wide array of rules and regulations, there have still been many criticisms of their practices. Identify and discuss at least 3 criticisms of the NCAA that can be interpreted as possible ethics concerns. 

Here’s a copy of the Case Study :

• Length of each written assignment must be equivalent to three (3) full & complete typed pages,      double spaced
• Otherwise acceptable submissions of less than three full and complete pages will receive partial credit 
• One inch margins all around and a #12 font, no cover sheet or folder
• at the very top of the first page put only your name and the number and title of the assignment, then start your paper
• You don’t have to agree with everything/anything presented in the article.

 Due Thursday, 9/3/20 at noon, (12pm Dallas time) for the readings Making Differences Matter: A New Paradigm for Managing Diversity  and Winning the Race for Talent in Emerging Markets. Provide me with a brief synopsis of the articles and then address this issue: I think these two articles really complement each other nicely. For written assignment #1 you need to reconcile the information in the two articles. How do the different ideas fit together? Come together? Coincide? Do they diverge? Keep in mind that to reconcile ideas means to make them compatible or consistent with each other. It implies that the two ideas can co-exist in harmony.
