WATERGATE SCANDAL

/in /by

During the Watergate scandal in 1974, many policy pundits wrote columns demanding that President Richard Nixon resign from the presidency because he was, in their view, clearly culpable for the Watergate break-ins. Not all pundits felt this way, however. Click here and here to read articles that offer differing views of President Nixon at the height of the Watergate scandal.

Complete the following for this assignment:

  • Step 1: Summarize the arguments made in each of the two articles regarding the conduct of President Nixon. How might each of the author’s views impact the reader’s understanding of the Watergate crisis?
  • Step 2: Describe how the Watergate events changed American views toward politics and politicians. In your view, how did these events change the press coverage of politicians?
  • Step 3: Speculate about how the Watergate event coverage might have been different (better or worse) in the age of social media and smartphones. Would it have lasted as long? Why or why not? Are these innovations in technology helpful or harmful to the way that people understand current events

Human Resource Planning And Organizational Strategy

/in /by

In a four- to five-page paper (excluding the title and references pages), discuss the relationship between human resource planning activities and the organization’s strategic development and implementation. Describe the eight elements of the staffing process. Examine the relationship between the eight elements of the staffing process and the four activities related to human resource planning.

Based on the information in Chapter 9: Case: Using the Internet to Find the Best Talent, review the human resource planning process and the previous readings from Chapter 6. Explain the relationship between the four activities of human resource planning and the organization’s strategic planning, development, and implementation.

Your paper should include in-text citations and references for at least three scholarly sources, in addition to the text, and be formatted according to APA style

 

You will complete a written assignment based on this week’s reading.

Again, this week you will write another short paper. Our topic this week is Human Resource Planning and Organizational Strategy. The paper should address organizational processes related specifically to human resource planning — and once again, I would like to see you apply these concepts in the context of your own organization. Your paper should be four to five pages excluding the title page and references.

 

First, the prompt requires you to discuss the relationship between human resource planning activities and the organization’s strategic development and implementation.This means you need to explain how human resource planning (recruiting, hiring, evaluating, supporting, promoting and firing) relates to the strategic direction of the organization as a whole. How do HR managers support organizational goals through people? See my guidance above on Fitz-enz’s book for some clues.

 

Next, describe the eight elements of the staffing process. Then, I suggest that you list the four activities related to human resource planning. Derive these from your textbook.

 

After that, describe the relationship between the eight elements and the four activities.How are they intertwined?

 

Explain the relationship between the four activities of human resource planning and the organization’s strategic planning, development, and implementation. This means that you need to explain how the four activities and how they affect the organization as a whole. Again, the Fitz-enz book may be helpful to you!

 

This may seem like a tall order, but if you follow my recommended structure below, you can master this assignment.

 

  1. APA formatted title page
  2. One strong introductory paragraph with a clear thesis statement
  3. One short paragraph summarizing how you think Human Resource planning relates to the strategic activities of an organization. You’ll explain these in detail later in the paper.
  4. One large paragraphs that briefly lists and explains the eight elements of the staffing process. Cite the textbook for support.
  5. One shorter paragraph that lists and explains the four activities of human resource planning.
  6. One large paragraph, explaining the relationship between the eight elements and the four activities — this is a larger explication of your first short paragraph (#3) that summarized your approach at the beginning of the paper.
  7. One short paragraph that summarizes figure 10.5 in the textbook. What does the diagram describe? Cite the textbook.
  8. One short paragraph that describes how the HR planning process affects the organization as a whole — especially in terms of vision, mission, and values. This is where you might cite the Fitz-enz book, if possible!
  9. One short paragraph about how you’ve seen this relationship play out in your own organization. How has this relationship worked for your organization — or has it worked at all? How might you help affect positive change in this regard?
  10. A strong conclusion paragraph that summarizes your thesis statement and the major points of your paper.
  11. An APA references page
