Management's Influence On Human Resources / Entrepreneurship and Creativity
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page research paper on the effects that a business' Human Resource policies can have on the spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship within the company. Two examples given are Southwest Airlines and Lotus Development Corporation. While both officially and practically put their employees first, Southwest also includes the concept of providing enhanced customer service by ensuring they have happy employees. Lotus, at least in times past, just wanted happy employees. The fortunes of the two companies reflect what superficially seems to be a minor divergence of attitude. That single point, though, has made a world of difference. Bibliography lists 5 sources. HR-Role.wps

Management's View of the UPS Pilots' Contract Demands
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper. The Independent Pilots Association (IPA) representing UPS' 2039 pilots allowed a by-mail survey of their members last August (1997) following the end of the Teamsters' strike against the company in the same month. Though UPS offered pay raises for their pilots of between 36 and 94%, the pilots nonetheless rejected UPS' contract proposal. The average pilot pay at UPS currently stands at $151,000. Pilots are restricted by law from working a full schedule—they are all essentially part-time employees, and their current hourly rate (without a contract renegotiation) stands at more than $200.

Management’s Functions in a Learning Organization
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing the four primary functions of management – Planning, Organizing, Leading and Controlling – in both their historic meanings and as they are applied to the learning organization. Management of the future has an appearance that looks far more like people working together for a common set of goals. Leadership was not always a requirement of management in the past, but it gains increasing importance with each passing year as poor substitutes increasing are found to be inadequate. It is in this vein that at least one of the labels of the four functions of management, controlling, carries a negative connotation. This is not the controlling that Henry Ford practiced, but rather is sound management of the organization in which people are free to be creative and innovative. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Management, Labor, Unions, & The 1997 UPS Strike
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper examining the relationship between unions and management, using the now-current UPS (United Parcel Service) strike as a paper-long example. The UAW and GM's Saturn Division had enjoyed a symbiotic relationship for years, with each side working for the long-term benefit of the company while protecting workers' rights, as well as their responsibilities. UAW members realize that there are thousands of workers overseas more than willing to eliminate auto maker positions here, and that it is in their best interest to work for increased productivity and efficiency. The Teamsters retain the old-school attitudes of the "evil corporation," glossing over all the benefits that UPS provides its employees. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
