Prepare a profile based on the role of a risk management professional and program. The profile should identify the specific attributes of the professional and program management.
* I expect students to articulate the attributes of both a risk management professional and a risk management program. It is important to define risk management in this profile. As always please apply critical thinking to your case study! Benjamin Franklin once famously said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and this sentiment is what risk management is all about.

The capstone project for this class is a research paper on an Information System. Many different types of Information Systems are studied during the course such as Decision Support Systems, Transaction Support Systems, Data Base Systems, ERP, CRM etcÖ You need to pick a particular application that falls into one of these categories. The general idea is that you explore and research an Information System and determine its impact on a particular company or industry incorporating the chosen IS. Look for an IS that integrates business processes with technology for competitive advantage. Look locally for a company no Walmart, Amazon, UPS.
The research paper must strictly use MLA format. MLA Source:
The use of the library databases are strongly recommended to include at least one or two cited sources from peer reviewed journals.
Here are a few topics you may want to explore this semester:
The impact of data privacy on patient care using EMRs at hospitals.
Search Engines: The impact of data sharing and data privacy on online consumers in the U.S.
The effect of Social Media on online sales within the retail industry.
The impact of green computing on data center efficiency to promote customer relations within eCommerce in the US.
Pick an Information System then research a local company that uses it or pick a company and investigate an information system that they are using to automate operations or business processes, harness business intelligence, manage knowledge or provide a competitive advantage. Try to use a LOCAL COMPANY!! For example there are more than 3500 local manufacturing companies here on Long Island.
STEP 1: Submit a PROPOSAL in one page for me to approve. Your proposal will get you thinking about your research and reserve the company for you. Do some preliminary research on the company and the information system they use prior to submitting the proposal!
STEP 2 : Create an OUTLINE of your paper and identify additional sources. Continue your research and include concepts from every chapter of our textbook that relates to how your chosen company uses the information system you have identified. For example, are there ethical issues at hand? How has this company used IS to be more efficient and effective?
STEP 3: Final DELIVERABLES are a power point (approximately 10 slides) and paper (approximately 7-10 pages) documenting all sources and data. Both must be submitted together. Elaborate in your paper and highlight the most important features, findings and uses for your presentation.

Fundamentals of Management Theories and Skills
The essay should have a well- designed structure and students are expected to demonstrate knowledge of relevant theories. The essay should be written in an academic and reflective tone. Students are expected to use extensively academic references relating to the module readings. The essay topic will be provided early in Semester B. Detailed advice about the preparation of the essay will be provided to all students by the module leader via module announcements and discussion in the classroom.
Fundamentals of Management Theories and Skills by Andromachi Athanasopoulou
n Please read pages 143 – 145 from the following case study: Gino, F.
(2018). The flight attendant had to ask her twice, “Anything to drink, ma’am?” Harvard Business Review Digital Articles, 143–147.
n Please answer ALL 3 questions, A, B and C:
n A. Imagine you are in the position of Noelle Freeman, the Chief Financial Officer of Franklin Climate Systems. Reflecting on one or more theories
on the nature of managerial work discussed in week 2 (i.e. Taylor, Fayol, Weber, Follett, Barnard, Urwick, Mintzberg, Stewart), please describe what are the key aspects of Noelle’s work as a manager.
n B. Which management skills from those covered in this module (i. effective problem-solving, ii. developing self-awareness, iii. effective motivation & empowerment of others, iv. ability to work effectively
in groups, v. successfully managing power & conflict and vi. successfully leading change) would Noelle need to apply in order to fix the toxic culture at the Little Rock Arkansas plant of Franklin Climate Systems? Why are these skills that you selected important in this situation? To answer this question please draw on the theories related to the selected skills.
n C. Reflecting on the self-awareness skill that was discussed in the lecture and exercised at the seminars of week 4, if you were in Noelle’s place, would you choose to support the layoffs (i.e. fire people) or advocate for culture change instead? Why?
2
Things to consider (I)
n Deadline 1st April 2019, 15.00
n 3,000 word essay and in-text citations count toward the wordcount but reference list at the end of the essay does not count toward the wordcount
n Do not cite the lecturer’s slides!!! Slides citation is not an academic citation
n Refrain from extensively citing Whetten & Cameron – cite the originals!
n Do not cite Whetten & Cameron when discussing a theory that someone else has developed
n E.g. If you want to cite the hierarchy of needs model by Maslow (1970) (mentioned in p. 305 on the e-book), you need to identify Maslow’s original work – Maslow A. H. (1970) Motivation and personality, 2nd. Ed., New York: Harper & Row.
3
Things to consider (II)
n Critical thinking is highly valued
n Looking for excellent analysis, excellent arguments, critical thinking, strong imagination and salient synthesis/critique
n Don’t present just what each author/theory says but
critically reflect on it:
n Would it apply on the case?
n Does the theory apply in some contexts (e.g. different industries,
different points in time?) but not in others?
n Do you agree with what the theory suggests?
n BUT when you apply critical thinking that means you need to
provide evidence (e.g. examples) or justify by developing
a set of arguments why you make a certain claim
n Theories should reflect material covered in this module –
so we will be looking for evidence that you draw on the
module readings
4
Things to consider (III)
n In Question A you are expected to draw on the material from week 2 on the
“nature of managerial work” and you will need to identify and cite studies by at
least one or more – but not all- of the following: Taylor, Fayol, Weber, Follett,
Barnard, Urwick, Mintzberg and Stewart. This means you will need to do some
more literature review beyond those readings listed as your week 2 readings in
the module outline. Please use the QMUL e-library/summons to look for more
academic articles depending on whose work you choose to talk about (e.g. you
might chose to talk only about Taylor or talk about Mintzberg and Follett) but
always in conjunction with the case in response to Question A. To identify more
articles from the e-library please see the process listed in slide 7 in this
slideset.
n In Question B you need to choose and discuss at least 2 of 6 different skills
covered in this module (each of the skills listed in Question B corresponds to a
different set of readings covered on a separate week, e.g. effective problem- solving was covered in week 3, developing self-awareness was covered in week
4 etc). Therefore for Question B, you need to choose readings within the e-book
chapters covering your TWO or MORE selected skills. Question B DOES NOT
ask you to draw AGAIN on the week 2 material (i.e. on the work of Taylor, Fayol
etc ) which is what Question A asked you to do. For Question B you need to
choose readings from the weeks in which we covered or will cover later in the
module the following skills ((i. effective problem-solving, ii. developing self- awareness, iii. effective motivation & empowerment of others, iv. ability to work
effectively in groups, v. successfully managing power & conflict and vi. successfully
leading change)
n In Question C, you are asked to tell us what YOU would do, so it is OK to use “I”,
but always develop your answer drawing on the literature (in Question C you
are specifically asked to draw on the self-awareness literature we covered in
week 4) in conjunction with the case. 5
Things to consider (IV)
n This should look like an academic essay – not a policy report
n Always have an introduction and conclusions as you would
do in a typical essay
n Introduction should prepare us for what you will talk about –
but do not make it read like a shopping list, be more
imaginative!
n Make sure the essay runs smoothly from one paragraph or
essay component (A, B, C) to the next
n Conclusions summarise the essay but also go beyond that
and reflect on implications for the company or Noelle, for the
future etc.

How to access the case study and
how to access articles to cite
n When your weekly readings include journal articles, you will be provided on QMPlus a URL
to the articles. However if you experience any difficulty with the links here is a quick stepby-step
process to identify and download any weekly readings:
n Let’s say you want to identify the following article: Mintzberg, H. (1971). Managerial
work: analysis from observation. Management Science, 18(2), B-97-B-110.
n Please go to this webpage: http://www.library.qmul.ac.uk/subject-guides/business-andmanagement/databases/
(please note, if you are using a Mac and you have the “private
browsing” function activated you need to de-activate it or open a new window where private
browsing is inactive)
n You will find a number of databases listed there. Click on “Business Source Complete”
which is the 4th database in the list.
n Enter your QMUL username and password. You will immediately be directed to EBSCO (the
e-library for business articles).
n Enter in the first search field the surname of the author e.g.Mintzberg
n Enter in the second search field the title of the article e.g.Managerial work: analysis from
observation. If needed to further narrow down the search, you may also add in the third
search field the journal e.g.Management Science You will be immediately directed to the
article page where you can read or download the article.

How to access the e-book
n Go to the QMUL library page: http://www.library.qmul.ac.uk
n Click on the advance search option to the right hand side of the page and
once you get into the “advance search” page, copy and paste or type this
title “Developing Management Skills”
n You will be automatically directed to a page that lists various publication
links
n Go further down in the list to an entry which should read Developing
Management Skills, Global Edition [NOTE THERE ARE TWO
VERSIONS, TRY THE ONE MARKED AS 11/2015]. The book has
a green cover. See attached file for an image of the cover.
n Click on the Read Online link which should get you to the online version
of the whole textbook.
n You may also be able to access the e-book via this link:
n https://www-dawsonera- com.ezproxy.library.qmul.ac.uk/readonline/9781292097497

Example on how to cite additional references
– besides Whetten & Cameron (2016)
n Use references from the different studies mentioned in W&C or by making your
own search on EBSCO (the e-library).
n If you want to use a reference from the W&C when you read something interesting
and relevant, look at the end of the book (pp. 605-632) for the full reference.
n E.g. in Chapter 1 on self-awareness in p. 69 of the book, toward the end of the left
column there is a long list of citations including a reference to Boyatzis’ (2008)
Journal of Management Development article.
n You will go back to the full reference list in pp. 605-632 and look
for the list of references relating to Ch 1.
n These are clearly marked on the book, in this case for Ch1 you will
find the references in pp. 606-610.
n Look for the reference by Boyatzis (2008) in p. 607 -which is: Boyatzis, R. (2008)
Competencies in the 21st century. Journal of Management Development. 27(1), 5- 12.
n You may then want to go to EBSCO and read the full article or if you take it
from the W&C book then reference it as (Boyatzis, 2008; in Whetten & Cameron,
2016)

Plagiarism & self plagiarism
n Make sure that you are not committing such an offence!
n Test your submission on turnitin before submitting
n Plan ahead to correct any mistakes!
n When you use a quote you need to use quotation marks and cite the
author, year and page where the quote came from.
n E.g. Goleman (2013, p. 52) said “leaders must learn to focus their own
attention”…
n If you describe a theory in your own words, you still need to provide in
parentheses the name and year of the study that describes the theory
n E.g. According to Goleman (2013) there are three areas of focus: focusing on
yourself, focusing on others and focusing on the wider world.
n In both cases you also need to list the reference in the reference list at the
end of the essay
n E.g. Goleman, D. (2013). The focused leader. (cover story). Harvard
Business Review, 91(12), 50-60.

Human resources and its management within any organization play a significant role in ensuring productivity and most important success of these organizations. To achieve goals and objective within an organization, it is essential for leaders and managers to focus on ways that will help to improve their human resources and most important to consider human resource managers that will be effective in impacting their employees to quickly and successfully achieve their roles and objectives. Human resource managers, in this case, must be capable of aligning their strategies with the organizational needs and mostly with the purposes, performance, and aims of their employees in general.
Assume the role of CEO of an organization of your choice (specify the organization or type of organization in your answer). Detail three steps you would take to ensure that your organization’s HR manager was a strategic partner and not just a transactional HR manager. Your answer should be specific to the challenges confronting the organization you identified (i.e., do not just identify generic ways to make an HR manager a strategic partner).
A strategic HR manager will focus primarily on creating a connection between an organization’s human resources with its goals, objectives, and strategies. As the CEO of Foot Locker, Inc., which is a sportswear and footwear retailer, my objectives to ensure the human resource manager is a strategic partner will be to provide that the HR manager will focus on the following steps that include; improving innovations, advantage when it comes to creating effective completion and flexibility, development of a fit purpose in consideration to the organization’s needs and also to ensure that the manager will improve their performances to enhance HR’s values. Therefore, an HR manager, in this case, will be able to assess the organization’s current HR capacity, forecast demand and supply their requirements and lastly matching these demands and the supply thus promoting the manager’s HR strategic capabilities.
Discuss the importance of job analysis and the job description in a) meeting the organization’s legal obligations and b) assisting the organization in staffing management.
The success of an organization will depend primarily on the performance of their employees. When it comes to meeting the legal obligations of the organization, job analysis and descriptions helps to recruit and select human resources that will fit perfectly to the different needs of the organization. Other than that, it helps to determine the required scope and extent of training needed within the organization and evaluate a particular job in which the worth of the position will require to be assessed. On the other hand, staffing management job analysis and description will play a role in ensuring that supervisors can effectively assign work to different subordinates to ensure they guide and monitor performances. Other than that, it also helps in recruiting and making a selection for procedures required. Lastly, it will provide effective planning of the workforce within the organization.
Identify a type of organization that you worked for in the past, currently work for, or wish to work for in the future. Then, thinking as an HR manager, broadly identify four external environmental factors that are or could impact the HR efforts of your firm. After you have broadly identified these factors, discuss each in further detail by discussing the specific impact (positive or negative) each could have on the identified organization’s HR efforts. This last part of the discussion needs to be specific to the organization you identified (as opposed to general impacts). Remember to focus your answer on HR.
There are four main factors could affect HM managers’ efforts. These factors include government regulations, economic conditions, technological advancement, and workforce demographics. Government regulations have resulted in the introduction of new and different standards for workplace compliance, which in my case, resulted in constant pressure on the processes of human resource department. The shape and condition of the current economy tend to affect talent pool and also the ability for the HR manager to effectively hire employees to work for the organization which will affect the organization and its performance. Change in technology will affect human resource department through altering ways in which they take decisions to save money for the organizations. HR managers consider this as a positive impact on the organization. Work demographics tend to affect the hiring of new employees while those that are old retire which may result in different types of compensation packages on the younger generations.
You are the top HR manager for a multi-location technical college that is shifting from exclusively domestic campuses to a technical college that is now going to be opening branch campuses in other countries. Your CEO has asked you to develop a report discussing the four main human resource challenges the expansion will present to the institution. Identify the issues that will be in your report and discuss your recommendation for dealing with these issues. Your recommendations must be HR initiatives.
When expending the organization, one of the challenges that I would face as the HR manager includes the following; attracting and retaining more talents that would help to cater for the needs and objectives of the new business. The solution is this case will be to know the requirements of new jobs that will be available in the new and improved organization. The second challenge is embracing change with ease and grace. With the expansion of the firm, employees will be exposed to a new environment. As the HR manager, I will focus on managing morale, happiness, coronation and constantly up-skilling employees allowing them to meet the changing needs. Other than that, there will be a challenge of managing diversity as globalization will affect the organization and to cater to this need, I will create different awareness programs to help employees realize the essence of diversity. Last, there is fostering of culture and continuous learning. It is essential to focus on building awareness for employees in this case.
Assume the role of HR manager for an organization of your choice. Specify the organization or type of organization in your answer.
Part 1: Explain how AND where you would obtain information to do a salary survey to develop pay grades for your organization. Do not just list general sources, but instead provide SPECIFIC sources (such as those unique to your industry) and why you selected these sources.
To do a salary survey and develop pay grades, I would evaluate different positions without any employee. This way allows assessing the worth of the job in consideration to the organization and not what should be paid to a person .the roe is to set and determine salaries.
Part 2: Identify the most important three compensable factors you would use when setting pay grades. Explain why you would select each for your organization’s pay grades. You must have 3-4 compensable factors identified and explained.
Factors that I would select are efforts, skill, and responsibility. I would consider ability as the organization will be intensive in terms of knowledge and depend significantly on human capital. , in this case, will be because each of the available positions will have the potential to affect others while efforts help in problem-solving.
Part 3: What other jobs in your organization are unique and might be difficult to benchmark for compensation comparison purposes. Identify AND discuss.
Jobs that are hard to do benchmarking are mainly those that have a higher rank than that of the HR manager. As the HR manager, in this case, it will be hard to determine and come up with a valid conclusion for this activity.
Part 1: Your organization (a place you currently work or have worked in the past) has plenty of deficiencies. As a result, the top manager of your organization has decided to put you in charge of training. Besides the additional work, there is one more problem- the top manager did not address which deficiencies need addressed. He/She basically left it up to you to figure out what the most pressing deficiencies are. Describe in detail the process you would undertake to assess the most pressing training needs for your organization. In addition, make an educated guess on what the three most pressing needs would be. Be sure to specify the organization (or at least the type of organization).
For Foot Locker, Inc., training needs include consideration of background information with specific, recommendations of the culture of the organization. Other than that, I will have to know and understand those involved for evaluation.
Part 2: Now that you have identified the training needs, outline the training process for each training needed.
For the process of training, I would focus on the resources that are available for practice with my primary focus being on the mission and goals of the firm. Other than that, I will also focus on supports that senior management and managers will be able to offer when providing the training.
Part 1: Providing specific examples from an organization (mention the name or type of organization in your answer) you worked for in the past, currently work for, or wish to work for in the future, discuss the following: Measure taken to ensure the safety of employees; Measures taken to ensure the health of employees (health insurance does not count for this answer); Measures taken to ensure the physical security of employees. Note: DO NOT reveal any secret security measures. Part 2: Assume that you are HR manager of the organization and state what the business (as opposed to ethical) objective would be for the measures taken for each category above. Be sure to discuss each category.
To ensure the safety of employees, I will ensure that I assess any risks on the environment based on the nature of our organization. These assessments will in turn help in the development of policies and procedures that would effectively identify these risks. For physical security, I will focus mainly on following both provincial and federal regulations that will cater to physical guards. For health measure, I will ensure that employees have a good understanding of different emergency procedures that will provide primary healthcare needs in case of any healthcare problem.
You are the firm’s HR manager. Your CEO has brought the following two problems to you to solve. For each problem, DISCUSS three solutions you would propose for each problem. Thus, you should have a total of six solutions discussed. Problem 1) The organization’s health care costs need lowered. Problem 2) Employees aren’t using the benefits that are available to them.
Cutting back on support staff; this will ensure that the expenses of health care services within the organization are reduced reducing the cost of these services. Second, it is essential to avoid under-invest in both space and also types of equipment to lower the productivity of health resources that are expensive. Lastly, it is also important to involve employees to give opinions on what they think will best fit their needs. To ensure employees use benefits available to them, I would ensure that they get to understand well these benefits and how they impact theme. Other than that, I would also come up with regulation and rule that would control the use and also ensure each person is involved. Lastly, I could consider them to be paid for minimum cost allowing employees to use as they have paid for them.
