HR Questions – 3 parts assignment attached 

It’s been a great first week shadowing Emma at CM Tech.  You have learned about actions management can take that lead to poor performance. You’ve read about significant developments in the history of management and how well they did or did not work at CM Tech, and even contemplated what the next big thing might be.  Emma wants to be sure you fully understand all that you have learned and have a solid baseline of information for use in the new concepts you will be learning going forward.  Thus, she has asked you to assemble a report that analyzes what you have learned so far.  

Your report should include the following: 

1. What actions can management take to ensure poor performance?  Support your assertions with examples and research.
2. What is performance management and what has prompted such a keen interest in it? 
3. What are some of the most significant management breakthroughs in history?  Share your experiences with at least three of them.  If you haven’t experienced any element of the breakthrough items then share how they might have applied at CM Tech had you worked there.
4. Explain how you and Emma can apply all of this information at CM Tech.  How can all of your past experiences, knowledge of performance management, and of significant management breakthroughs to guide CM Tech strategy and future success?  Support your assertions with examples and research.

Your report should outline the key concepts in each area listed above and provide examples as appropriate.  Be sure your report is a minimum of 4 to 5 pages, includes an introduction and conclusion paragraph, title page, and references page.  The title and references pages do not count toward the total page count.  

The report should be formatted in APA style and be supported by a minimum of three scholarly references. Since CM Tech is a fictitious company, you may use great liberty in this assignment in creating or imagining the details needed in order to write your report.  

Your paper should include the following elements:

• The basic skills you think are most important to acquire for effective counseling
• How can you best acquire and refine some of these skills?
• Some of the skills you think you would need at the beginning of a counseling relationship
• Skills you need to have once counseling progresses.
• Skills needed to effectively terminate a counseling relationship.

Your paper should be two to three pgs. in length, typed in APA style.

Refer to Table 2.1, “SYMLOG Coding Scheme,” in Ch. 2 of the text.

Answer the following:

What are network analysis and SYMLOG, and how they are used in group research?

Groups and teams are often used interchangeably. Why is this a mistake? How would you manage a team vs. a group?

Read “The ‘ICE’ Strategy” on Human Resource Management (pp. 8–9) of the PDF in Aetna: Investing In Diversity Case. Also review Exhibits 6 and 7 on pp. 22–23 of the case study to see the link between Aetna’s strategic focus and the diversity outcomes that can result. From Exhibit 7, select one of the eight strategic focuses and one of the 10 diversity implications that you feel relates to that focus.

Discuss the relationship between the two and describe three specific actions Aetna could take to accomplish the diversity implication. Include at least one citation and reference in your initial post.

Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts concerning their choices and suggested actions. Can you add anything to their perspective?

 Topic 08 Assignment: Final Paper Preparation

 For this assignment, submit the research paper PREPARATION. 

Over the next three weeks, you will be writing a paper over the topic of your choice regarding health care cost-cutting and cost-effectiveness of providing care. This broad “umbrella topic” provides you with a lot of topics such as diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), HMOs, PPOs, movement to ambulatory care, managed care, generic drug use, etc…

Here are examples of the top topics that students have chosen in the past:

1. Medicare, Medicaid, and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings

2. PPO vs. HMO’s and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings

3. Generic drugs vs. name-brand drugs and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings

4. Compare different long term services and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings (just like you discussed in week 7)

5. Any other topic you would like….just get it approved by me this week in your paper prep submission

The paper is due the last day of class. This paper must:

be at least 3 pages (double-spaced) not including cover page or references

include at least 3 references 

Do not plagiarize; this error is best avoided by properly paraphrasing authors’ works and giving credit to the author.

For this assignment, submit your paper topic for instructor approval. In addition, provide to your instructor citations for at least 3  articles you will use in your paper, and also submit a brief summary of each article.

You should start your research on the NAU Online Library’s Allied Health Subject Guide. For information on using the library, see “Using the Library and Our Databases.”

 Discussion: Planning Your Project

• A potential client wants you to be the project manager for a project that involves moving to a new computerized human resource management system that supports the firm’s staffing, compensation, employee relations, and benefit functions. The client is very vague about what needs to be done, and all that they know is that they do not like the current system. Identify the types of questions that you could ask the client to gain a better understanding of the scope of the project. Other than having the client answer your questions, what other activities could you engage in to gain a better understanding? 

International Events and Updated Strategies”  Please respond to the following:

• Note that the publication dates in the references in this chapter appear as pre-2008 years.  Within the ensuing years from 2008 forward, discuss three key international events that may affect the leadership of talent management strategies.
• As you speculate how world events may have affected talent management, determine a method to refresh the talent management strategy of your organization. Keeping in mind that the world is ever changing and the needs to find and develop talent are changing along with it, describe how an updated approach is necessary and what it would look like. 

 Attach or link to the autoethnographic journal article you have collected for the pre-tutorial exercise to your post and provide 2-3 sentences explaining why you chose it as an article that resonates with you. Specifically, how do you relate to the author and their experiences?
