leadership theory explanation 

Select and visit three MNCs company websites of your choice (example of McDonald’s ), and review their approach to employer branding.  Conduct research to gather information to address the following questions:

Of the three, identify one that is exemplary (i.e., makes you want to apply) and one that requires improvement (i.e., makes you question whether you would want to work there).  What were your reasons for making these choices?

How does your research of these websites relate to the YouTube video?

How have these companies incorporated social media to support their branding?

Select and visit two new MNCs company websites of your choice (different from those listed above) and review their approach to online recruiting.  Conduct research to gather information to address the following questions:

What best practises are being used? 

What is being done (if anything) to recruit a more diverse workforce?

Select and visit two additional websites that would be classified as internet job boards, executive search firms, or online networking sites.  Conduct research to gather information to address the following questions:

What type of external recruitment method is being used on these websites?  What is the reason for your classification? 

What is the usefulness of this type of website to potential candidates?

You are to gather the information and write a formal business report containing a site-by-site summary of the trip.  The itinerary will identify the sites visited and topics covered. 

Your report must be concise (6 pages double spaced in 12-point font, excluding cover page and references pages).

It must be well-written, but in lay terms so that anyone can fully understand your reasoning, include text citation, introduction that clearly outlines the purpose and flow of the essay, and a strong conclusion.

You must also provide a properly cited reference page at the end of the document (including all websites visited). 

Textbook chapter  4 pages summary and please follow the instructions 

“The neoliberal understanding of human abilities as sources of potential income redefines child-rearing by treating a broader range of activities of care and cultivation, and not only educational and professional training, as potential ‘investments’ in the human capital of children.”

Susan Koshy argues that, under neoliberalism, parents understand that raising their children is about making investments in human capital. Have you experienced this in your own life? In what ways have your parents treated you like an investment? In what way have they treated you otherwise? How do you know the difference?

Option #1: Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are two common debates both in the workplace and throughout our political spectrum. The simple fact is that citizens travel much more freely now than 50 or 75 years ago: Germany is less “German”, and France is less “France” than at any time in history. Employees in one country are much more likely to meet, interact, and work with employees in other countries, and that can be a challenge. With that understanding, write a paper that addresses the following:

• Provide a brief overview of how the demographics of the world, and US, workforce has changed (percent of women in the workplace and average age, for example)
• Discuss how managing a homogeneous workforce differs from managing a heterogeneous workforce, both nationally and globally.

Finally, present at least three strategies that a human resource professional should adopt in order to effectively manage employees who have different backgrounds, perceptions, beliefs, religions, and philosophies (both work and personal).

Your paper should be:

• 5-7 pages in length, or about 2300 words

Put yourself in the position of an HR manager of a large research and development facility. The CEO is concerned about rising labor costs. The most recent employee opinion survey showed employee satisfaction with their compensation as low.

The CEO is considering revamping the incentive pay program. He’s not sure whether a person-focused incentive plan or a team-based incentive plan would best address the challenge of rising labor costs and employee satisfaction:

What are the pros and cons of each of these incentive play plans?

Which program would you recommend to your CEO that would best meet his goals?

Provide the rationale for your explanation.

The application of social change, leadership, and advocacy to a specific human and social services organization is a systematic process. The initial step is to select and delineate a professional or societal issue about which you are passionate, and then locate an organization from anywhere in the world whose mission is related to this issue. Once you determine the issue and organization that you will focus on, the next step is to set a manageable social change, leadership, or advocacy-related goal for the organization.

Human services professionals can strive to achieve and/or support social change, leadership, or advocacy-related goals by creating a strategic plan. Throughout this course, you will develop the core elements of a strategic plan for your Capstone Project. You build off the coursework you completed in previous courses to conduct a needs assessment as well as develop the fundamentals, strategic issues, and technical elements of the strategic plan.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, considering strategies and approaches that human and social services professionals may use to achieve social change, leadership, and advocacy goals.
• Review the Capstone Project Overview in the Course Information area and the Final Project: Developing a Strategic Plan – Introduction to the Final Project media in the Weekly Resources. Select one professional or societal issue that arouses your passion as a human and social services professional, and then choose a human or social services agency or organization, or a community, that works to support this issue. This can be a local, regional, national, or international agency, organization, or community. Throughout the completion of your Capstone Project, you will explore this issue and agency in depth, examining them from multiple perspectives. Therefore, you should select an agency, organization, or community issue that speaks to you as a human and social services professional.

By Day 4

Identify the agency, organization, or community for which you will develop a strategic plan. State whether the agency, organization, or community exists at the local, regional, national, or international level. Then, discuss why you have chosen this agency to focus on for your Capstone Project. Also, discuss whether your strategic plan will be developed from the perspective of social change, leadership, or advocacy for the agency, organization, or community. Explain why you have chosen to focus on that particular perspective for your strategic plan.
