Why HR still isn’t a strategic planner?
Please have a read through the case study uploaded in this order and answer the question below with relevant references.

Question – What are your thoughts? How does this relate to your experience? Can HR truly be a strategic partner to the business?

WHY HR STILL ISN’T A STRATEGIC PARTNER
For two decades we have been hearing that HR must become a strategic partner to the business. And the fact that we’re still hearing it suggests that in

many organizations it hasn’t happened.
The need to align HR with the business has become more urgent than ever. Financial markets exert relentless pressure for growth, especially in emerging

markets. Customers demand more and better service at lower cost. And cost-efficiency, resource conservation and regulatory compliance have become issues

for almost every organization. Turnover among top talent is expected to increase in 2012; globalization is requiring stronger regional HR capabilities; and

demographic shifts across the world are dramatically affecting availability of qualified people.
Yet, all too often, business leaders still wonder aloud why their organizations even have HR departments. For their part, many HR leaders are willing to

partner with the business, but given the unique situation of each individual company, they have little in the way of concrete guidance about how to fulfill

that role.
Let me suggest a way to start. Of every action you take as an HR leader, ask this simple question: does it cause friction in the business or does it create

flow? Friction is anything that makes it more difficult for people in critical roles to win with the customer. Flow, on the other hand, is doing everything

possible to remove barriers and promote better performance. The question applies to virtually any company in any business and it will take you farther down

the road faster than the hazy, abstract injunction to become a strategic partner. Even in what appear to be routine HR responsibilities, you can inject the

business perspective simply by asking whether what you are doing is going to enhance the flow of the business or impede it with friction.
Why is it so difficult to inject that business perspective? Because as HR leaders we feel ourselves to be near the pinnacle of the organization. The

organization reports to us. It must meet our demands for information, documents, numbers.
In fact, that’s backwards. We are far removed from the points and people that make a difference with customers and a difference to the business. Our

perspective should be that of seeing to it that the people at those points can perform as smoothly, productively, and frictionlessly as possible.
Think, for example, of your talent strategy. Do you simply manage talent, or do you provide talent solutions that reduce friction and enhance the flow of

the business? Often we pride ourselves on trying to recruit the best talent we can find and consistently and fairly spending our resources and focusing our

attention equally on everyone. But does that really enhance the flow of the business?
To truly be partners to the business we must identify those critical points of the business where the strategy succeeds or fails, and provide relevant

talent solutions. In other words, we must think in terms of what Brian E. Becker, Mark A. Huselid, and Richard W. Beatty call “the differentiated

workforce,” in their book of the same name. That means managing talent as a portfolio of investments, some of which will pay a much higher return than

others. Instead of spending an equal amount of time, attention and resources on everyone equally, you make disproportionate investments in the most

critical roles and critical people — not just in terms of compensation, but in terms of development, opportunities, retention, engagement, and human

capital planning. All jobs in a business unit are important, but not all are strategic and have maximum impact on the economic value of the business.
Many business units spend time each year identifying talent and competency needs, but few get real about it by developing plans around winning in their

critical talent spaces. Let’s say you have, in your opinion, spent the appropriate amount of time identifying your strategic talent needs — the

difference-making roles. Then ask yourself how much time you and your HR team and line leaders spend focusing on solutions for acquiring, developing,

engaging and retaining the talent to fill those needs? Or do you have the “equality” mentality — devoting the same amount of attention to everyone? It’s

shocking how many HR leaders say that their business has a strategic priority such as accelerating growth in emerging markets, but they and their teams

spend little time in emerging markets. Does your investment of time and resources match your business strategy? If not, you are creating friction in the

business that diminishes strategic impact.

Statistic and Hypothesis

1. What do degrees of freedom (df) mean? Canbulat et al. (2015) did not provide the dfs in
their study. Why is it important to know the df for a t ratio? Using the df formula, calculate
the d for this study?
2. What are the means and standard deviations (SDs) for age for the Buzzy intervention and
control groups? What statistical analysis is conducted to determine the difference in means
for age for the two groups? Was this an appropriate analysis technique? Provide a rationale
for our answer.

3. What are the t value and p value for age? What do these results mean?

4. What are the assumptions for conducting the independent samples t-test?

5. Are the groups in this study independent or dependent? Provide a rationale for your
answer.

6. What is the null hypothesis for procedural self-reported pain measured with the W’ong
Baker Faces Scale (W’BF S) for the two groups? W’ as this null hypothesis accepted or rejected in this study?

found to be statistically significant. Provide a rationale for your answer.

10. Are these study findings related to the consumption of high- and low-aspartame diets
ready for implementation in practice? Provide a rationale for your answer.

 

1. What are the assumptions for conducting a paired or dependent samples t-test in a study?
Which of these assumptions do on think were met b r the Lindseth et al. (2014) study?
2. In the introduction, Lindseth et al. (2014) described a “2-week washout between diets.”
What does this mean? Why is this important?

3. What is the paired t-test value for mood (irritability) between the participants’ consump-
tion of high- versus low-aspartame diets? Is the result statistically significant? Provide a
rationale for your answer.
4. State the null hypothesis for mood (irritability) that was tested in this study. Was this
hypothesis accepted or rejected? Provide a rationale for your answer.

5. Which t value in Table 2 represents the greatest relative or standardized difference between
the high- and low-aspartame diets? Is this t value statistically significant? Provide a ratio-
nale for your answer.

6. Discuss why the larger t values are more likely to be statistically significant.

7. Discuss the meaning of the results regarding depression for this study. What is the clinical
importance of this result?

Agenda-Setting Theory
Read the Encyclopedia of Communication Theory’s explanation of Agenda-setting Theory and listen to its founder explain its principles:
Watch this video for examples of the theory:
Then, watch this dramatization of how the theory can work:
Finally, you might visit the websites for the White House and the White House Correspondents Association.
Having access to the president and his cabinet members has been a key part of a free press in America. The White House Correspondents Association began as a loose group of reporters who fought to have daily access to the White House.
News media outlets and reporters have not always had the best relationship with various administrations. Indeed, the relationship still is tense: the Obama administration has taken a great deal of flack in recent months about excluding reporters or media outlets from briefings or trips, and for editing the “pool reports” – the notes that reporters share with each other – about the First Family’s activities. And as pages 250–259 in Chapter 18 of the Handbook of Journalism Studies point out, the news media increasingly are being bypassed as decision makers and power brokers seek to speak directly to particular segments of the population.
Some questions to think about:
Before you tackle these questions, please make sure you have read the materials at all of the links in this discussion prompt. Then, these questions in a cogent response:
1. How do you think that Web 2.0 will change the way current and future presidents seek to influence the American public?
2. What do you think is the best way to ensure that Federal agencies do not disseminate propaganda to domestic audiences?
3. What should the role of White House Correspondents be in covering the President and the White House? What challenges do they have in remaining objective with the President and his administration?
4. What guidelines would you offer to media consumers to help them evaluate the messages they receive about government programs

 

 

For the second part of your summative assessment, you will assume the role of an employee at a fictional company and prepare an executive memo pertaining

to the legal and ethical implications of a company doing business internationally.

 

 

Financial Planning Process as it pertains to College Education funding
One of the primary financial goals of parents is financing a college education for their children. Fulfillment of this objective demands careful planning, prudent investment selection, a sufficient amount of time, and perseverance. Personal financial analysts are often recruited to design and monitor a college funding strategy. Submit a two to four page summary of this planning process, either in general or with reference to a particular case in which you participated. Do not reveal any personal or confidential data.

Include a cover page that includes your name, student ID, CRN and date plus a copy of
your ticket stub. Simply scan in your ticket stub or take a picture of it and put it on the
first page of the document. If you don’t know how to do this, google it. If that doesn’t
work, call OIT. If that doesn’t work, go by the media center in Hodges Library and get
help.
***You also need to turn in a paper copy of the ticket stub stapled to a
piece of paper including your name, student ID, CRN and date. This is
all that you need to turn in on paper, the actual report will be turned in
on blackboard like the other assignments***
Then begin your report on the next page using the following format.
Concert Report
Performance: List the name of the concert.
Music: List the pieces that are performed.
Performers: These are all KSO performances, but please indicate if it is the entire orchestra
or a smaller ensemble. Also, list if there are any guest performers.
Venue: The name of the concert venue.
Date: Date of the concert.
The Concert Culture:
Assume the stance of an open-minded observer and describe the appearance and
behavior of the performers and audience. It may be helpful to imagine yourself as an Englishspeaking anthropologist (or ethnomusicologist) from another planet observing this for the first
time. Describe the theatre. What is the décor like? What is the stage like? What are the seats
like? How does the music sound in relation to the theatre (you will talk about the music itself
later) – big, small, loud, soft, far away, close up, good, bad? Describe the musicians. What are
they wearing? How do they behave on stage? How do they (or don’t they) interact with each
Format Instructions

other, the conductor, and the audience? Describe the audience. What ages of people are
there? How are they dressed? What economic class do you think they belong to? How do they
behave? How do they react to the music? How do they interact with one another?
The Music:
Describe the music itself. You need to do more than just say whether you like it or how it
makes you feel. Try to be more analytical than that. Consider the following questions or ask
your own. What instruments are being played? What instruments are featured? What is the
general structure of the music performance? How many pieces are there? Are they totally
separate compositions or all different sections of the same larger piece? How do the different
sections compare and contrast with one another? What is the mood of the music? How does it
change throughout the performance? Try to have a bunch of adjectives ready to use to
describe the music. They don’t have to be complicated. Consider simple things like loud, soft,
smooth, jagged, aggressive, mellow, dissonant, consonant, exciting, dramatic, entertaining,
light, dark, sad, happy, dance-like, irregular, etc. Or get more creative – mercurial, intellectual,
banal, atonal, poignant, stirring, fervent, compelling, absorbing, etc.
The Program:
Program notes are intended to introduce concert audiences to the music being performed.
What style are the notes written in? Do they sound academic or aimed at more of a general
audience? What do the notes include? What did the notes make you notice about they music
that you may not have noticed otherwise? Do you think the notes did a good job of preparing
you to listen to the music? What did they leave out that might have been helpful to you as an
audience member?
