Assignment 8 ::HRM::

On the assumption that you heard/read the SONA of the President last month (July 2009), identify at least 3 areas related to Human Resource Mangement and explain how these areas can improve our quality of life. (2000words)


Education

“Ang magandang edukasyon ay susi sa mas magandang buhay, the great equalizer that allows every young Filipino a chance to realize their dreams”, president Arroyo.

The best thing that a human can do and a human he/she will be proud to shoutout loud is the Education, yes it is true just like what Pres. Arroyo said that Education is the great equalizer that allows ever youg Filipino a chance to realize their dreams... only Education can make people equal.. only edcuation cannot be buy by a money.. Education is soo very important, it's improve the social quality of life and it's way that can a human being achieve their dreams and set of goals by the power of education. Education can treasure for a long long time, a treasure that could not be bought by any one else even the riches human being in the world.. this is the only thing that can we show that we pilipino are the top of the world.

in its broadest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.

Microfinance

“Nakinabang ang pitong milyong entrepreneurs sa P165 billion in microfinance loans.

Nakinabang ang sandaan libo sa emergency employment ng ating economic resiliency plan. Kasama natin ngayon ang isa sa kanila, si Gigi Gabiola. (applause) Dating household service worker sa Dubai, ngayon siya ay nagtatrabaho sa DOLE. Good luck, Gigi”


refers to the provision of financial services to low-income clients, including consumers and the self-employed.

More broadly, it refers to a movementthat envisions “a world in which as many poor and near-poor households as possible have permanent access to an appropriate range of high quality financial services, including not just credit but also savings, insurance, and fund transfers. Those who promote microfinance generally believe that such access will help poor people out of poverty.

1. Poor people need not just loans but also savings, insurance and money transfer services.
2. Microfinance must be useful to poor households: helping them raise income, build up assets and/or cushion themselves against external shocks.
3. “Microfinance can pay for itself.” Subsidies from donors and government are scarce and uncertain, and so to reach large numbers of poor people, microfinance must pay for itself.
4. Microfinance means building permanent local institutions.
5. Microfinance also means integrating the financial needs of poor people into a country’s mainstream financial system.
6. “The job of government is to enable financial services, not to provide them.”
7. “Donor funds should complement private capital, not compete with it.”
8. “The key bottleneck is the shortage of strong institutions and managers.”Donors should focus on capacity building.
9. Interest rate ceilings hurt poor people by preventing microfinance institutions from covering their costs, which chokes off the supply of credit.
10. Microfinance institutions should measure and disclose their performance – both financially and socially.

Cheaper Medicine

“Mula pa noong 2001, nanawagan na tayo ng mas murang gamot. Nagbebenta tayo ng gamot na kalahating presyo sa libu-libong Botika ng Bayan at Botika ng Barangay sa maraming dako ng bansa. Our efforts prodded the pharmaceutical companies to come up with low-cost generics and brands like RiteMed. I supported the tough version of the House of the Cheaper Medicine law (applause) over the weak version of my critics. (applause) The result: the drug companies volunteered to bring down drug prices, slashing by half the prices of 16 drugs. Thank you, Congressmen Cua, Alvarez, Biron and Locsin.“

Cut the Cost of the all medicines drug.. in this emplementation a lot of people benefits in this improvement mostly people benefits are in a middle and low level in community. it makes athe medicine affordable for the poor people in a society. well it helps a lot in our and improves a lot in our quality in life, it's gives more opportunity to other seek family who are striving for their lives..

ensure the availability of affordable medicines by requiring drug outlets to carry a variety of brands for each drug, including those sourced from "parallel importation," to give the consumer more choices.

Assignment 7 ::HRM::

Make a reflection on this statement ..

"Human beings are the most important, potent and critical, resource of any organization, and yet the least understood and the worst managed of its resources" (1500words)


Important

Humant Beings are one of the most important, potent and critical resource of any organization, come to think of it. who are the one who manage the technology?? manage the equipments?? tools?? or any other such things that can be use.. well no other human beings are the one who manage it.. it simply show how human beings important in any organization.. their are such things that cannot be use without human.. well human mostly role the any organization, they are the one who well simply execute what a thing should suppose to do.. things are useless without human and also mostly human are the one who create such things like technology. Technology cannot be create or cannot be use well without Human beings.

Potent and Critical

Human beings are powerful they are mostly the top of any living organism in the earth. even any animals can't manage human beings only human can manipulate them.


Each of us created with a different and a unique personalities, attitudes and everything, even twins have their different personality and everything, no one of us have same features in life. we are all "younique". well interms of the critical of the human resource of any organization.. well each of us have the power and the opportunities to become a successful leader someday.. hmpt.. being a leader it's require a lot of thing to be able to manage a society or a clan, a certain society or clan future depends on how leader manage it by his own power.. if the leader have the power to lead the clan in a good way well... simply explain the clan or certain society well grow as huge and manage..

The Human beings are soo very imnportant but it may also it is soo very harmfull and destructive resource of any organization.

Least Understood

Human are hard to understood, mosly people are arrogance they have their own shall we say the high pride, they don't show their weakness. they don't take advise even though they are not suit in that certain situation.

Worst Manage

In a worst manage human resource may happen, we all we each of us have a unique features, soo each of us also have their own set of goals to be achieve and set of ways to manage each.. in that case mostly people achieve high quality, targeted and individualized tutorial services and innovative, creative, high impact knowledge... it will cost some individual Sovereignty


Human Beings … Are We Important?

In view of the evil that human beings have wrought and continue to bring about, as well as in view of the destructive human caused global warming and abuse of natural resources on the planet earth, the question whether our world and the universe would be better off without human beings around, seems a legitimate one. Add to that that human beings are one, merely one, of the many living beings that originated in a long and complicated process of evolution … despite the fact that many philosophical and religious arguments have been constructed to ideologically underpin the idea that human beings are the focus and goal of the cosmos and of cosmic evolution. Should we not be more humble about ourselves, all the more so when we consider that amongst living beings, humans enjoy great abilities and capacities, not in the least their developed skills of thinking and of (self-)reflection which provide them with means to order their world? Is humility not appropriate when one realizes that one has received these gifts not for oneself, but as part of the cosmos and towards the service of the cosmos. In a way, it as is if the cosmos, over a long period of time and complicated processes of evolution and change, has given itself possibilities for further development.

Reflections as these point towards a balanced view on human beings as part of the world, the universe, the cosmos. Of course, human beings are special and precious – there are not many of us around in our own corner of the galaxy, as Stephen Hawking reminds us on a TED talk -, and that means that they have a role and a responsibility as part of the world. “As part of the world” cannot, I think, be replaced by “as goal of the world”. Overshooting on the side of the importance of human beings, has rightly been criticized – when human beings belong their sense of belonging to the universe and start to instrumentalize all other beings and resources just in view of themselves, then a destructive dynamism ensues that will, in the end, also lead to the destruction of the living conditions and possibilities of the human beings themselves. But, not recognizing the special role and capacities of human beings at the service of change in the universe and not allowing for human beings to be considered “something special”, deprives the world of a capacity it has given itself. It’s important to strike the balance well, when considering the role and place of human beings in the universe, when asking the question of anthropocentrism.

The issue is of great importance for philosophers and theologians, as well as for scientists. All of them are aware that our knowledge about the world – and if one wants to say: a kind of knowledge that the world reaches about itself – is human. But this capacity of knowledge and reflection seems to, so to say, separate the knowing subject from the known object, and it is highly tempting, as a consequence, to consider the knower, the human being, as something very special ánd separate from the rest. What I would plea for – and after re-reading Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s introduction to his Le phénomène humain, I have the impression that I am here in his good company – is to be aware of the human being as “special” but “not-separate” from the rest of the world, and even dependent on the whole rest of the world for survival. As a theologian, I would say it as follows: in creating the universe and allowing it to bring forth human beings, the Creator gave creation a potential for development and ran a risk. Our interwoven anthropologies and cosmologies should articulate this double perspective.

Assignment 6 ::MIS1::

If you were hired by the university president as an IT consultant, what would you suggest (technology, infrastructure, innovations, steps, processes, etc) in order for the internet connectivity be improved? (3000words) An IT consultant works in partnership with clients, advising them how to use information technology in order to meet their business objectives or overcome problems. Consultants work to improve the structure and efficiency and of an organization’s IT systems. IT consultants may be involved in a variety of activities, including marketing, project management, client relationship management and systems development. They may also be responsible for user training and feedback. In many companies, these tasks will be carried out by an IT project team. IT consultants are increasingly involved in sales and business development, as well as technical duties. Typical work activities Task typically involves: meeting with clients to determine requirements; working with clients to define the scope of a project; planning timescales and the resources needed; clarifying a client's system specifications, understanding their work practices and the nature of their business; traveling to customer sites; liaising with staff at all levels of a client organization; defining software, hardware and network requirements; analyzing IT requirements within companies and giving independent and objective advice on the use of IT; developing agreed solutions and implementing new systems; presenting solutions in written or oral reports; helping clients with change-management activities; project managing the design and implementation of preferred solutions; purchasing systems where appropriate; designing, testing, installing and monitoring new systems; preparing documentation and presenting progress reports to customers; organizing training for users and other consultants; being involved in sales and support and, where appropriate, maintaining contact with client organizations; Identifying potential clients and building and maintaining contacts. Technology For me if I were hire as an IT Consultant of our University which is University of Southeastern Philippines, I would rather to suggest that, we all know that technology continues to change rapidly time to time and year by year, each time that there will be a new technology invent or implement there are a lot of things change. I highly suggest to be more updated to such new things that help us a lot in terms of our technology, one good example of it is the Wireless Internet Access Service Provider (WISP) we called is the technology as a WI-FI. Moreover, it helps us also faster internet access…. Infrastructure For an organization's information technology, infrastructure management (IM) is the management of essential operation components, such as policies, processes, equipment, data, human resources, and external contacts, for overall effectiveness. Infrastructure management is sometimes divided into categories of systems management, network management, and storage management. Infrastructure management products are available from a number of vendors including Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Microsoft. Among other purposes, infrastructure management seeks to: * Reduce duplication of effort * Ensure adherence to standards * Enhance the flow of information throughout an information system * Promote adaptability necessary for a changeable environment * Ensure interoperability among organizational and external entities * Maintain effective change management policies and practices Although all business activities depend upon the infrastructure, planning and projects to ensure its effective management are typically undervalued to the detriment of the organization. According to IDC, a prominent research firm (cited in an article in (DMReview), investments in infrastructure management have the largest single impact on an organization's revenue. It can also help the university in: *Installation Services *Maintenance Services *Desktop Support *System Support *Integration Services Innovation refers to a new way of doing something. It may refer to incremental and emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. Following Schumpeter (1934), contributors to the scholarly literature on innovation typically distinguish between invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully in practice. In many fields, something new must be substantially different to be innovative, not an insignificant change, e.g., in the arts, economics, business and government policy. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. The goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation leading to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy. Innovation is an important topic in the study of economics ,business , design, technology, sociology, and engineering. Colloquially, the word "innovation" is often synonymous with the output of the process. However, economists tend to focus on the process itself, from the origination of an idea to its transformation into something useful, to its implementation; and on the system within which the process of innovation unfolds. Consultant Steps and Guide: To provide all the materials, concepts, and exercises needed by a trained consultant to teach or consult on Strategic Planning and implementation of the Plan. 10 Steps: Plan-to-Plan The Future Visioning Process Key Success Measures Current State Assessment The Core Strategies and Cascade of Planning 3-Year Business Planning Annual Plans and Budgets Leading and Mastering Strategic Change The Essence of Strategic Management Implementation The Annual Strategic Review (and Update) To provide and train the consultant with key topics and fail-safe mechanisms to proceed towards mastery of Reinventing Strategic Management (Planning, Leadership, and Change) for the 21st century. To assist the consultant and trainer in clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the CEO, executives, department heads, and employees as well as internal and external consultants in Strategic Planning and Change.

Ansuico, Inc. Redball Express

For the company we conducted studies
which is the Ansuico, Inc. they mentioned some barriers that affect to their
company, which is HACK, COMPUTER VIRUS
and Electrical Problem like Brown Out.

Hack Case, they are looking forward what would be the possibilities
to counter if in case they will encounter some Hacking Problem. Hackers most
having to do with technical adeptness and a delight in solving problems and
overcoming limits.


Actually Hackers are not simple
or easy problem. A lot of skills to be consider as a Hackers Learn
how to program, Get one of the open-source Unixes and learn to use and run it,
and If you don’t have functional English, learn it.

For now on
Ansuico, Inc. is making their move towards a better corporation and competitive
trucking company.


COMPUTER VIRUS Case, time
to time Viruses are updated. We can’t escape to reality, having a high
technology advantages there are also corresponding disadvantages one of it is
the VIRUS.


COMPUTER VIRUS is a Computer Program that can copy itself and infect a computer
without the permission or knowledge of the owner. Ansuico, Inc is more on Data File,
Transactions Records, Employee Record Keeping, Company Records and etc. If there will be a
VIRUS will infect the system of the Ansuico, Inc. it is a big problem in their
side, so to prevent VIRUSES they are always having their maintenance for each
of their system in order to avoid some system failure and viruses. It may cost
a lot of expenses but it helps a lot for the company benefits not only for the
company but also for the employee, staff, and customer.


BROWN OUT Case, wew in their company technology helps a lot of
things one good example of it that helps a lot for them is, it makes their work
faster and easier. If in case there will be BROWN OUT will happen the tendency
is they go to the MANUAL MODE which is it takes a lot of time and more effort
for them to work, and it may effect also for the transaction in their
customers.


Barriers that exist to successful
introduction of IT:

Three Categories:

Structural Barriers


-Structural Barriers are those factors
inherent in the organizations structure or systems that are not compatible with
the new technology. This can include communication, authority flows and
planning systems, and reflect how the organization has traditionally done
things. A failure to perceive the strategic benefits of the investment, a lack
of co-ordination and co-operation due to organizational fragmentation, and a
perception of high risk are all symptoms of organizational problems.


Human Barriers

-Human Barriers include
psychological problems that arise in most periods of change, such as
uncertainly avoidance, and resistance to loss of power or status.


Technical Barriers

-Technical Barriers, they noted,
were factors in the technology itself, such as lack of system compatibility.
Technical factors relate to the need for flexibility and information handling
capacity, with the dangers of disjointed islands of automation being created
which limit information flow.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+


Other have confirmed that the key
barriers to IT implementation tend to be organizational, and rather than
technical, and these barriers are often understated. For instance, focused on
general management problems in successful planning of strategic information
systems and concluded that the key factors were the attitude, commitment and involvement
of management: the current sophistication of IS (Information System) within the
company: the ability to measure and justify the benefits of strategic IS (Information
System): and the integration of IS (Information System) into business strategy.



Overall, research into the
barriers to organizations adopting IT intervention are consistent with a
general conclusion that organizational barriers
are more important than technical barriers, but that this is frequently
not recognized by the adopting firms. Organizational Barriers relate to structural
issues, such as fragmentation and poor relations between functional
departments, and an acceptance, by senior management, of the strategic benefits
of IT intervention and a clear strategy for its implementation.


It is therefore not clear
whether, in practice, organizations have yet learn that the adoption of new technologies
which lead to fundamental change require a much greater focus on the strategic
and organizational implications of the technological intervention, as well as
the immediate technical problems of incompatibility fragmentation and cost
containment.
