Identify an information environment of your choice and write an essay to address the following questions: (3000 words)

• What should be your role within this environment?
• How can the principles of information organization and representation help you in performing this role?
• What are the challenges facing you in performing the role? How will you address these challenges?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is now a critical mass of digital information resources that can be used to support researchers, learners, teachers and administrators in their work and study. The production of information is on the increase and ways to deal with this effectively are required. There is the need to ensure that quality information isn’t lost amongst the masses of digital data created everyday. If we can continue to improve the management, interrogation and serving of ‘quality’ information there is huge potential to enhance knowledge creation across learning and research communities. The aim of the Information Environment is to help provide convenient access to resources for research and learning through the use of resource discovery and resource management tools and the development of better services and practice. The Information Environment aims to allow discovery, access and use of resources for research and learning irrespective of their location.

As a student, you were invited by the Dean of the Institute of Computing to attend a seminar-workshop on information systems planning with some of the faculty members. In one of the sessions, a discussion of outsourcing came up. You have been asked to present your evaluation about outsourcing the information systems functions of the school.

Required:

You are to take a position- outsource or in-source and justify your position. (3000words)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insourcing is the opposite of outsourcing; that is insourcing (or contracting in) is often defined as the delegation of operations or jobs from production within a business to an internal (but 'stand-alone') entity that specializes in that operation. Insourcing is a business decision that is often made to maintain control of critical production or competencies. An alternate use of the term implies transferring jobs to within the country where the term is used, either by hiring local subcontractors or building a facility.

Outsourcing-utsourcing is subcontracting a service such as product design or manufacturing, to a third-party company.[1] The decision to outsource is often made in the interest of lowering cost or making better use of time and energy costs, redirecting or conserving energy directed at the competencies of a particular business, or to make more efficient use of land, labor, capital, (information) technology and resources

i think outsourcing would be better:

advantages:

*Outsourcing can save you money.

Economies of scale save money when unit costs go down as volumes increase. External service providers can achieve economies of scale unavailable to individual firms when they combine the volumes of multiple companies.

In manufacturing, for example, an external vendor may have a shop that specializes in a certain type of machining. The machinery represents a significant capital investment. If larger machines are more efficient, and if they can be used to produce any sort of parts for any customer, then this vendor may very well produce parts at a lower cost than a firm could by setting up such a shop internally.

Economies of scale are not limited to physical processes. Other precious assets -- including money, relationships, and people -- may be shared.

To be specific, there are three conditions that must be met before outsourcing saves money:

1. Economies of scale must exist. That is, there must be some economic advantage to larger size or greater numbers before outsourcing can pay off; for example, unit costs must drop as volumes increase.

2. The economies must be accessible across corporate boundaries. That is, savings only occur if outsourcers can combine the volumes of multiple clients.

For example, it's easy for many companies to share the huge fixed costs of a telecommunications infrastructure owned by long-distance carriers. Laying one's own fiber or leasing a private satellite channel is unlikely to be economic, so outsourcing is an obvious choice.

However, outsourcing an IT computer center may not work as well, since hardware may not offer significant economies of scale and many software licenses are corporation-specific.

There are many cases where inter-organizational sharing is possible, but each case must be examined carefully.

3. The savings must be sufficient to outweigh the additional cost of paying other shareholders a profit.

Some executives have said that at least a 20% savings (after vendor profit margins) is necessary to compensate the firm for the legal costs and the risks of long-term dependence on people you can’t control.

*Outsourcing can help you share risk.

Another type of synergy that can cross corporate boundaries is the sharing of risk. In financial circles, this is called the "portfolio effect."

In investing, it's best to diversify your portfolio rather than put all your money in one stock. By spreading your risk, you reduce your total risk.

Why does diversification reduce risk? If the whole market goes down, you'll lose, no matter what you do. But if the market goes up while one company makes some serious mistakes, the rest of your portfolio may still do well, and you are not as vulnerable as you would have been had you put all your money into a single stock.

In business investments, the same is generally true. Outsourcing may permit multiple companies to share risk.

To continue with manufacturing as an example, if all your work is done in one plant, an outage or a labor dispute could put you out of business. If you spread your workload across a number of plants, a labor dispute in one country may not affect the operations of other plants. Thus, you reduce your risk.

In a very large operation, it may be that the company can afford multiple plants. But in smaller companies -- or in the production of small-run specialty parts -- it may be cheaper to spread the work across a number of existing vendor plants via outsourcing than it is to build a number of small plants yourself.

* Outsourcing can help accommodate peak loads.

Outsourcing can be used to minimize fluctuations in headcount that could result from peaks and valleys in demand.

To protect staff from fluctuations in demand, every entrepreneur should staff to the valleys and outsource the peaks.

The added expense per hour of contractors must be balanced against the expense of hiring enough staff to handle the peaks and then wasting time between peak periods. If peak loads are frequent and the valleys are short in duration, hiring may be more economic than outsourcing. If peaks are occasional, contractors will save money in spite of their higher costs per hour.

*Outsourcing can help develop your internal staff.

Well-managed outsourcing can enhance the development of employees. Two strategies can accomplish this:

1. Contractors can be used to off-load less interesting "commodity" or end-of-life work, or to handle peak loads. This leaves staff free to pursue new, developmental opportunities.

On the other hand, contractors should never be used to perform new, growth-oriented activities while internal staff is left with obsolescent work. This would deny staff learning opportunities, while building dependence on the vendor. Perhaps worse, it sends a message to staff that the company is not willing to invest in their professional growth.

2. Consultants and vendors can be used to bring in new ideas and to train internal staff.

It might be useful to distinguish two terms: External "consultants" transfer their skills and methods to improve employees' effectiveness; they teach staff, often while working together on real projects. Consultants may be used by anyone whenever justifiable, since the benefits are lasting.

By contrast, "contractors" simply do work in place of employees. This is sometimes called “staff augmentation.” They should be limited to the commodity work described in point 1.

There are many cases that meet these four criteria where outsourcing pays off. But each case must be examined carefully to make sure the fundamentals are there. Remember: Paying other shareholders a profit margin makes outsourcing inherently more expensive. It's only worthwhile if these other benefits compensate the firm for its added costs.

2009-10-11T14:24:00.000-07:00

BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) Philippines

"Kung noong nakaraan, lumakas ang electronics, today we are creating
wealth by developing the BPO and tourism sectors as additional engines
of growth. Electronics and other manufactured exports rise and fall in
accordance with the state of the world economy. But BPO remains
resilient. With earnings of $6 billion and employment of 600,000, the
BPO phenomenon speaks eloquently of our competitiveness and
productivity. Let us have a Department of ICT…."

Business Process Outsourcing is one of the good aide for economic crises,
more jobs for Filipino peaple were awaiting,that means lesser jobless filipinos.
The Common BPO's were call centers.Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is looking for a 40% growth in the country’s Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry for 2008.

Speaking at the e-Services Global Sourcing Conference and Exhibition, Arroyo said while the Philippines currently employ 300,000 people in the BPO and contact center industry, she wants these increased by at least 40% to meet the growing demand worldwide. She said the Philippines at present is only second to India in terms of supplying the workforce in the BPO industry, but it has already been recognized as the “premiere global destination for these types of IT enabled services”.

Cyber Corridor

"The Cyber Corridor, which aims to create an information and technology-based knowledge economy through facilities that enhance interconnectivity and research and development initiatives, traverses all four geographic super regions from Baguio to Cebu to Davao"

Cyber Corridor was said to be the backbone of the Bpo Industry in the Philippines. The Cyber Corridor is an information and communication technology (ICT) channel running the length of the Philippines that interconnects BPO services centers all over the country to efficiently bring together cyberservices providers and BPO locators. The project’s development theme is ICT and knowledge economy with cyberservices encompassing call center, back office operations, medical and legal transcription, online marketing, software development, e-learning, e-entertainment, gaming, engineering design and animation. A $10 billion digital network and high-bandwidth fiber backbone supports the infrastructure which is overseen by the appointed Chairman of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), also known as the “development champion.”

The goal is to employ one million workers and generate $13 billion dollars in annual revenues by 2010. With Metro Manila as the center of the Philippine BPO industry, the Cyber Corridor includes twenty-five “Next Wave Cities.” These cities are tagged as such because they’re considered viable locations for BPO operations. Clark Freeport Zone and Subic Bay Freeport Zone in the north, Cebu City and Bacolod City in the Central Philippines, and Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City in the south are some of the BPO locations on the list.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

"Sa telecommunications naman, inatasan ko ang Telecommunications
Commission na kumilos na tungkol sa mga sumbong na dropped calls at mga
nawawalang load sa cellphone. We need to amend the Commonwealth-era
Public Service Law. And we need to do it now…."

The country ranks as one of the top users of telecommunication devices such as cellular phones, but the telecommunications commision were bombarded with complains of missing loads and unjust drop calls.
almost everyone has their own cellular phone, it would be great if that would be fixed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green Campus Computing does not suggest painting the campus green and everyone inside do computing

Green Campus Computing is founded by Dr. Kenneth C. Green, this project promotes environmental conservation
through promoting it to campuses around the globe.
The University of Southeastern Philippines supports this project and applied it to the campus. As a student, as the majority in the population in the university we were the main user of this techie stuffs inside the school..

i suggest this:

The University could motivate students to conserve energy by setting itself as example. Staffs and Faculties for instance must practice it so that it will be visible to the students.

Proper Waste management. Unused stuffs like monitors,keyboards,devices,machines could have its proper disposal instead of keeping it stuck in a room.

Practice conserve energy by turning off unused lights,computers,aircon and other devices.

REduce using unnecessary resources such as papers. Print as little and when it is needed. Avoid using screensavers because it consumes energy.instead you could turn it off or sleep mode.

3rd Entry(Automated Election)

2009-10-11T14:17:00.000-07:00

Your thoughts on automated elections with reference to the current situation ... (1000 words)

Automated Election for the next national election(2010) is a great change our country will encounter in the history of the
Philippine Election. We are used to manual elections which is said to prone to cheating and biased election. The Question is "Will the 2010 Philippine automated election help us get rid of biased and manipulated election?". How will the Filipino peaple adopt the new system?

As i read sites and papers about the comming automated election, i could not help wondering what will be the scenario on every precint on that day. This is my first time to vote. I never did experienced registering myself before to the COMELEC office. When i went to the office, i was with an old woman trying to renew her registration, i came first and the process came smoothly from filling up the forms and getting the biometrics but when it was the old woman's turn to the biometrics she was hesitant,afraid the machine might do something harm on her. My point is the COMELEC boasts on the great changes the automated election could help a great deal to us. It would be more convenient and less prone to cheating, but how would the Filipino layman take it. The old woman for example, she just represents 6% of senior citizens in our country,most of them could not adopt to the new technology we enjoy right now. Aside from that,
not all of us got decent education enough to understand the process,yes there were personnel that watches the process but not all personnel were honest enough.

My mother is a public school teacher and every election she serves and i could not help not to notice the scenario every election, there were the AFP always watching in case of trouble, i worry most of the time. They had to secure the ballot boxes to be safe and delivered. I read in this site that votes were counted and transmitted to counting centers unlike before that they had to keep it and deliver it to counting stations that might risk their lives. It will be a great help on security of the personnels.

Aside from that, some areas in the country were troubled by the MILF and other rebels. The election in those areas were delayed and unreliable. I think shifting the election system into automated would at least ease the election in those areas.

But i believe that implementing automated election in 2010 needs more study. Decisions like that wont be wise. Impelmenting rush automated election might result problems. One of the things that must be considered is "does the service provider of the election efficient enough to supply effective devices that should ne used in the election?"
"the personnel that will operate the devices reliable enough or introduced enough to the new system?"

there are lots of things to consider. I just hope my first election will be happy and memorable

Anything in this world changes.That is a fact. So even System in companies do changing in thier management eventhough they were satisfied with it. Everything is subject to changes.

Let us see how Lapanday deals with the changes

Changing the system is important because it reforemats the current error
that renders the progress of the company.
But changes does not only mean more progress to the company but also risk that may happen.
Changes may somehow be implemented for the goodness of the company but sometimes
it may cause conflicts maybe to the management, business flows or the manpower itself.

risk on the management-the management itself implements the system.but the
risk is what if the management could not handle well the newly implemented
system and instead of bringing the company up,it'll just pull it down.

risk on the business flows- not all changed system/IS/business works thouroughly.
For instance the information system is not comaptible in the business. That is a risk.
or the company boasts its business flow and strategy as one of its strengths yet the newly implemented system hinders the company flows.

risk on manpower- there is always the so called resistant on the manpower when implementing
the new system. It may be because they doesnt like the new system or they could not adopt on the changes.

June 24,2009- Me and my classmates roam around Davao City to find some prospect companies for this assignment.
First we went to AMS group of Companies but unfurtunately we were rejected.
We then decided to make a list of possible companies that could be a good prospect. Trying our luck, we went to Phoenix Fuel depot to conduct ambush interview because we were in a rush. unfurtunately they rejected us.

Lapanday Foods Corporation

Luckily, we approach Lapanday Foods Cororation and approved our request to conduct an interview.

Company Profile:

Lapanday Foods Corporation started its company from humble small seed. the company started the three lots of land
for a banana plantation but unfurtunaletly flourished in 1970s and been abandoned on 1980s because banana eporters were depressed as the world oversuly of banana. Luis F. Lorenzo,Sr.,saw the chances of growing the farm into a fruitful land, the Lorenzos acquired the land Guihing, Lapanday, and Cadeco farms from the Ayala-Aboitiz group in 1982.

They continue to be a reliable supplier of bananas while they strive to gain markets for other fruits and vegetables sourced in the Philippines and abroad. Their international networks deliver their products to more and more buyers in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, where their brands are increasingly being recognized for freshness, quality, and added value.

Today, Lapanday Foods Corporation is one of the leading fresh food growers int the country.

Best IT practices of the company:

IT infrastructure- businesses nowadays see to it that their data keeping system is good enough to secure data management. The company somehow builds its IT infrastructure to be more complex and support the network to a more smooth and could adopt the challenges of the company.The better the IT infrastructure, the better the business process.

Organizational productivity- Organizational productivity means a lot to every organization. If every single personnel in the organization is lazy,there is no chance for that organization to improve. Good enough for Lapanday Foods Corporation because they promote organizational productivity which means improvement not just for the organizational but also for the employees as well.

Biometrics- Lapanday is using this device in checking the attendance of the employees. Specifically, they are using the Bar Code Attendance System. The bar code can be seen in their ID. The employees just swipe their ID's to the device and the Time In or Time-out will automatically be recorded.

Assignment #9

2008-10-03T02:44:00.000-07:00

Look for various definitions of personnel management and human resource management and their authors and sources (minimum of 5). Critique each.

1st:

HUman Resource Management

by Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD

The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies.

URL:
http://www.managementhelp.org/hr_mgmnt/hr_mgmnt.htm

:suspect: my comment: the autorhs definition on the human resource management had cater all the possible meaning of the HRM, i believe that if all HR manager has read his definition would certainly realize that managing the HR dept. is not just managing employees but also caring for the employees

2nd:

(Cherrington, 1995, p. 5).

Human resource management is responsible for how people are treated in organizations. It is responsible for bringing people into the organization, helping them perform their work, compensating them for their labors, and solving problems that arise"

comment: the human Resources management as defined by the author is the main instrument in bringing human resources and the working environment together. The HR dept. is the one that motivates human resources to work.

3rd:
Source:http://www.ci.palm-coast.fl.us/government/departments/employment/personnelmanagement.aspx

author: unknown

Personnel Management is responsible for recruiting and hiring qualified individuals to deliver city services, administering the pay classification plan to insure competitive wages. Through the personnel policies, Personnel Management administers guidelines for employee behavior, hiring & terminations, disciplinary actions, tuition reimbursement and employee leave including FMLA.

comment: personnel management practically is under the human resource management, personnel management 's specific meaning in this definition is it is the governing body that implements policies and strategies to maintain the objectives in each dept. it is the governing body that makes the guidelines for employees to abide.

What Is HRM?

Human Resource Management is based on ideas and techniques developed to enhance worker motivation, productivity and performance.
The HRM model emphasises:

the need to search for new ways of working
the central role of managers in promoting change
the treatment of workers as individuals rather than part of a collective workforce
the encouragement of workers to consider management as 'partners' rather than as opponents - 'us and us', rather than 'us and them'

comment: i think the one of the real main goal of the HR dept. is to motivate employees to work, to make the work place enjoyable rather than stressing. To gain peers in the workplace.

Personnel Management
A personnel management system allows human resource team to manage the best candidate for each open job requisition. The personnel management solution also provides templates that can be used to standardize personnel management communication.

comment: hmmmm... i don't think so...personnel management is more on to making policies for the best of the organization.

I am a Sagittarian:)

2008-10-02T22:06:00.001-07:00

SAGITTARIUS PERSONALITY

Bold, dashing and spirited. It's a bit difficult to keep pace with you - whether it is in your movements or in your speech. You like to be free as the wind that blows, quite uncaring of the effect you may have on your surroundings. You could not care less and hate being in an atmosphere that is physically or emotionally claustrophobic. Somewhat lacking in tact, your foot-in-the-mouth syndrome could do with a little thought. Nevertheless, you are honest but more than a little tactless. Sagittarians are ambitious - always aiming higher than the goal they initially set for themselves. You love challenges and are too full of energy to sit still. Although you see yourself more as a sportsperson than an intellectual, you secretly enjoy reading, writing, and exploring subjects unknown to you. You are a good learner and would do extremely well as an academician. You are quite popular, albeit a bit unconventional and are loyal to your friends. Many of you enjoy the patronage of influential people but unfortunately; you will also have your share of enemies who mean serious harm. You are often driven by excitement and can be a bit ungainly when in this state; sweeping gestures tend to send things flying. You are sometimes insecure and edgy. You tend to doubt your decisions and judgement. The advice is - trust your instinct. Avoid going by what people tell you if you want to succeed in your work. A word of caution though -- your instincts may not work too well when you are betting, gambling and speculating, and you may end up losing heavily.

Interview with a Human Resource Personnel

2008-09-30T00:52:00.000-07:00

This homework was a bit unnoticed for me because we had so much to do with the major paper and i don't have much time checking this web forum..hehehe

while im doing this homework, it is a bit funny because i didn't interview a personnel for this homework's purpose...since i don't have much time, but it doesnt mean that i dont have an entry for this assignment. I am going to base my answer on this assignment to our previous interview with several HR personnel we had interviewed for the major paper and for our presentation.

According to Mr. Alex Somera, an HR Personnel of Emcor, the Human Resource Department of Emcor is the responsible for managing the Human Resources. For looking for possible employees to fill in vacancies, to analyze cause of the problems of unusual behavior of employees in the working environment. The human Resource dept. is also responsible for the development of the morale of every employee from the simplest laborer to the highest position in the organization. He said that the main purpose of the HRM is to attain the needs of the employees. The welfare of the employees is the topmost priority of the HRD, He said that the human force is the responsible that is why the organization generates, the employees are the reason and responsible for the survival of the industry that is why they have to take care of them, they are the one who builds and keep the organization survive but they could also be the reason to destabilize the industry.

In that notion, i agree with Mr. Alex Somera, no company will survive without taking care of their human Resources,they have to be taken care of, physically, morally and spiritually. An employee would always complain if their is any irregularity in the organization. And if the HRD wont take action on that, that would cause a problem, maybe it will take effect on the working performance of thier employees.

As i had noticed in Emcor, they are in a good status as of now, in terms of human Resourcing. They just have problem with the financial status because of the global crisis and non-ending piracy problem.

Well, good luck to emcor!

The consultation!:)

2008-09-26T05:36:00.000-07:00

weeeeeh!!!!

We had our first consultation for our major paper.. we had spent days doing that....hmm.. i
think so...lol:)

Sir said that our paper was almost done and he said it is almost 75% done!
We were really grateful!:)

But there is a problem... we had found out that our proposal was not enough even though we could finish it because we could not meet our goal. To propose an IS to concentrix that could help their HRD.

We were devastated!

but as always..let's keep on going on!:)

aside from that...their is a personal problem i am keeping.. i just couldn't cope up with the attitude of the one of our team mates... i felt so bad for felling this way because she did all her best for the group but i just couldn't stand her attitude towards us. She is so bossy and i don't like being approached like that.. i could work but not on the idea that i was being pressured and being bossed around as if i dint know anything.. i don't like being drag anywhere without them consulting me if i was available and don't have any affairs with my other subjects...

i felt so disappointed for feeling this way. i know i am not that competent but i am not stupid...

hahayz...

nagdarama...

anyway....ana man jud ng life..hehehe...

life must go on...

aja!

i am sorry...kung naka-feel ko ug ani sa imu... i just could not stand it anymore..

2008-09-22T22:25:00.000-07:00

"The Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a software or online solution for the data entry, data tracking, and data information needs of the Human Resources, payroll, management, and accounting functions within a business. Normally packaged as a data base, hundreds of companies sell some form of HRIS and every HRIS has different capabilities. Pick your HRIS carefully based on the capabilities you need in your company."

As I researched on the net what does HRIS menas, this is what i've got...

It is really amazing... to imagine and see how the wonders of technology could make anything possible for business...such as Information Systems...

Katong paperwoks pa among gina-buhat... parang saun lang buhaton... ang HRIS. Dali lang i-imagine.... but as we step closer to creating our own HRIS for our proposal...
it is really tedious... We had spent the night keeping our eyes open, our hands from typing and making designs... and of course.. our mind from generating....

as we look on the initial result of our HRIS, i felt disappointed and degraded... pangit and so simple pa.... it is not really the amazing type of interface that i had expected...
We had spent sleepless nights and that was it...it is a clear evidence that a bunch of newbies had made it...

but as i spent the days lately thinking of the proposal... i think it wasn't bad at all...

as i said earlier.. we were bunch of newbies..we could improve ourselves as we go along this course...

Wala man pod banggiitan na tao ang banggiitan na daan.. muagi man jud ta tanan ani... ug sa baboy pa, baktin pa ta...:)

so... dri lang sa akong entry dear blog... wala paman gud mi nahuman...:)

Goodluck sa atoa tanan!!!:)

Major Paper Update!

2008-09-17T01:29:00.000-07:00

At last we had our First consultation at Concentrix last week, Tuesday...

We interviewed Mr. Mahedy Brizuela, an HR Specialist of Concetrix to discuss to us the flow of the HRD department as well as the organizational chart of their organization....

We had learned that day that every dept. (in Concentrix) has thier own Information System, all of these departments enjoy the privacy thier system caters.... Every Department restricts information to other department despite the fact that all of them belongs to one organization only.

I asked interviewee what is the benefit of that kind of scenario,
He practically said that (i forgot the exact words but his point is like this) every datum has its own significance, will it be for the good or bad for the organization, it will remain be restricted because it has nothing to do with the business of the others.

that's all for now....:)

BPOs

2008-09-05T22:03:00.000-07:00

Business process outsourcing (BPO)

that is the main topic of the Human Resource Forum last Sept. 30,2008 at the Sagguniang Panglungsod.
The forum at the same time a jobs fair was held to introduce BPO to improve the businesses here in davao and give jobs to many davaoenyos...

We had learned from the speakers that aside from the crops that Mindanao is producing, BPO's such as Call Centers were booming...BPO's were organization that render services to other company...it is like a third party...like call centers, giving services to consumers such as inquiries...etc. for other organization.

The forum has lot to explain on how an industry would be flexible to this unpredictable state of our economy...aside from that, speakers from Call Center companies has given thier Speaches to us... on how Call Center works for thier clients.. and for the consumers...

most of them were encouraging us to study harder...hehe...

well, that was a very long day...

What a task!!

A comment on the 2008 SONA of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

2008-08-04T21:03:00.000-07:00

The 2008 SONA of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
July28,2008

The last State Of the Nation Address of PGMA was indeed full of promises,full of hopes.. this yearly speech of the president is always awaited by both supporters and critics... scrutinizing her plans for our nation.. Most of her promises were addressed to the poor... those who needs the most. But could she this promises come true???hmmm...who knows?Speaking of promises...in relation to this subject, i cited a part of her speech that points on the agendas of her Excellency PGMA,

1.The creation of six million jobs in six years via more opportunities given to entrepreneurs, tripling of the amount of loans for lending to small and medium enterprises, and the development of one to two million hectares of land for agricultural business; she said: "Our P 350 million training partnership with the private sector should qualify 60,000 for call centers, medical transcription, animation and software development, which have a projected demand of one million workers generating $13 billion by 2010."

I think this is a good agenda in the sense that more jobless Filipinos will have their chance to earn a living, nowadays.. it is hard to earn money when you have no job and much more harder to those who have families to feed. those 60 million job job vacancies will feed up to 60million families, it is not a bad agenda actually. In the part of the entrepreneurs, it is a blessing if this promise would come true... they will have the chance to develop their small businesses without worrying of too much capital to spare. The Philippines is truly a land blessed with fertile soil for agriculture.. it is best to develop this land for survival purposes especially that scarcity of food is a global problem.

2.The development of Clark and Subic as the best international service and logistic centers in the region;
The development of Clark and Subic as the best international service and logistic centers in the region;This Agenda will certainly cater the growth of technology that will help Philippines pace to industrial stage..aside from that,this would also motivate Filipino proffessionals to work here instead of going abroad...

3.The construction of new buildings, classrooms, provision of desks and chairs and books for students and scholarships to poor families;
This agenda may not directly point to the needs of the jobless, this is also cater jobs to the jobless, since more working force will be needed to implement this agenda. It must take a lot more years to implement this agendas... to the extent that she only had another year as our president. Most here critics do not believe in her, on what she promises, even the Filipino people... maybe because this promises were too good to be true or she's just a babbling leader who promises everything but do not fulfill it...I'm just wondering...if she were not the president of this country,will this nation be progressive to other leaders?with all this Global problems that we are facing. I think it is a tough responsiblity she has on her cute shoulders... facing all those problems...and still, she remained standing tall(hmmm... not literally)...undefeated. if only the Filipino people would wake up and get off their butts on their couch, go out and find a job and make a difference of their lives. It is not her who makes this country suffer, it is us who do not know what does "Self-Reliance" means.

Importance of the human Resources

2008-07-10T03:12:00.000-07:00

Human beings are one of the most important and most essential component in an organization. Important in the sense that with the human labor force, an industry could generate its functions from the simplest clerical jobs to the critical chairman of the board. It is potent, in the sense that corporations look for a skilled labor force armed with talents and mind for innovation. It is the key for the success of the industry if it is well-managed. Human beings are critical to handle because man has his own free will. Man is molded with norms that guide him in decision making. When he is tasked to do something, he would consult it to what he think is right and wrong. Aside from that, man look on his job description, he won’t do any task he ought not to do, when mishandled he would certainly protest and demand for his own good and right.

But on the other hand, human beings are the least understood and worst handled resources because leaders do not look forward to the welfare of their labor force. What they look forward to is the profit they could get. Employees are neglected most of the time, their rights and privileges are set aside and most of the time abused,without even realizing that without the human labor force, no industry will ever survive..

Overview on Human Resource Management

2008-07-04T04:14:00.000-07:00

We had a class discussion in our class and it is about the overview in Human Resource Management. And their adopted industry is our own school, the University of Southeastern Philippines.
As what i have learned in our class discussion, Human Resource is one of the most important component in an industry. Without the Human Resource, an organization will certainly drop. They had shared what is the difference between Personnel Management and Human Resource Management. Certainly, The Human Resource Management holds a broader scope in the entire organization compared to Personnel Magement... in connection with with their adopted which is USeP, I did'nt get what i expected with the discussion, i missed to know How does HRM affected USeP as an industry, They have discussed HR but i missed the connection of it in their adopted industry.....

If USeP had been doing good through their HR or not...

hmmmm..... maybe i'm just not listening well....:(

what do you think the 21st corporations will be?

2008-07-04T01:44:00.000-07:00

I believe the 21st century, which is technically we are now,corporations is pacing faster along with the revolution of technology. Through modern technology, corporations around the globe will use technology to gain economies of scale, larger companies will harness technology to reduce the costs of complexity.

According to the article of John A. Byrne "The potential for productivity gains is everywhere, in every process, in every industry. The bigger the company and the larger its costs, the greater the opportunity to see tremendous efficiencies. In the years to come, large incumbent corporations that get it will be the greatest beneficiaries of the Net, not the dot-com insurgents that once garnered all the publicity and market valuations. though there were many factors that will drive the indurtries to accomplish thier missions,expanding through national boundaries, shifting toward intellectual capital and other changes their is nothing more important than the rising of internet technologies.
The internet gives everyone the widest possible information. The net is used by everyone in the organization from the lowest clerk to the chairman of the board, the ability to access every information needed can be zapped around the globe in just a blink of the eye. Corporations will also learn to expand network of external relationship. Through the use of internet, the far reaching farms of the supplier will be reach by seconds.
That means that the 21st century corporation must adapt itself to management via the Web. "It must be predicated on the constant change. , not stability, organized around networks, not rigid hierarchies, built on shifting partnerships and alliances, not self-sufficiency, and constructed on technological advantages, not bricks and mortar. Already, old business models that emphasized fixed assets, working capital, and economies of scale have become increasingly vulnerable to nimbler organizations that employ new technologies to reduce costs." according to Byrne's article.
Companies in this century will recognize the real power of technology isn't just to make the business more efficent and productive but will also motivate the industries to transform. Much of it's transformations will involve on the companies relation with it's costumers. We live in the era of which choices of the consumers is unpredictable, of which products and services are almost a click away, companies must offer and cater a lot more than what the costumer had expected. however, leaders were practically going to be careful on applying the latest softwares.
21st century corporations will require new talents and skills of which are mastered for comapnies to survive. Manpower will always be a resource a corporate must have, it it one of the most important factor. Though, the use of machines is a great help to industries.
Managers will have to construct new set of rules and guidepost to their brains. Leaders before thought that creating intense rivalries among competitors will motivate employees and would success in their goals., but later will realize that their greatest rival will have to be it's important collaborator. Instead of competing to each other, corporations will learn that in order to survive, thay must collaborate through partnerships but of course, it will be crucial.

All of this, is what i believe the 21st century-corporations. The fast-rising creation of industries. Armed with latest tecnologies,latest gadgets,machines,skilled manpower and new ideologies.

My 3rd Homework in Human Resource Management!!:)

2008-06-26T02:20:00.000-07:00

We were tasked to site a website of a company who had undergone HR downsizing....
and here's what I've got...

===================================================
Downsizing is reducing numbers of labor force in a certain industry. Another term for it is lay off. Downsizing is a strategic action of a company in order to save the industry. There are certain reasons why companies slash employees out in the payroll even if it means losing of jobs of other workers, it may be for the purpose of saving the industry from dropping or may be for development purposes.

SKorea's Samsung Electronics sheds 1,600 jobs
Nov 17, 2007

Samsung is the world's largest producer of memory chips, has shed more than 1,600 workers on November last year, the first fall in its labour force since 2002.

Data reported to financial authorities show the number of Samsung employees was 85,269 in September, down 1,630 or 1.9 percent from the 86,899 reported six months earlier.The downsizing is the first at Samsung Electronics since 2002, when the company cut about 700 employees.

Yonhap news agency said the cut was a prelude to a "full-scale corporate restructuring" at Samsung Electronics, which is suffering from falling memory chip and flat-panel prices.

"Some 500 to 800 staff quit here seasonally because high school graduates want to go to colleges. The 1,600 is more than usual but it has nothing to do with the corporate downsizing," spokesman James Chung
of Samsung told AFP.

There have been rumors that the South Korean company wants to downsize since July, when it launched a voluntary retirement scheme.

Samsung Electronics has reported that its net profit in the third quarter to September this year recovered to the level a year earlier on brisk demand despite low semiconductor prices.

Net profit for the July-September period stood at 2.19 trillion won (2.39 billion dollars), about the same as a year earlier, it said.

But the company reported a five percent drop year-on-year in net profit during the second quarter to June, due to falling chip prices. It earned 1.42 trillion won during April-June, the lowest in four years for that period.

=====================================================
There are certain issues why an industry, small or large scale had to cut-off its labor force. Even the Samsung Electronics which is the world's largest IT industry had to undergone into it. Samsung had to cut it's labor force for the improvement of the industry and it's products to make it more profitable. Another reason of its downsizing is the seasonal phenomena which is likely normal because some of the workers works only in a season for example summer.

http://samsung.com/

===================================================

imagine that??? even samsung which is the World's largest IT industry had experienced downsizing....
I believe that no matter how tough an Industry is... no matter how good who runs the industry is... I think there is only one thing that cant be avoided and that is changes... and downsizing is one of the effects of it.. To survive an industry needs to sacrifice to survive... even if it means lossing a portion of its labor force.

hmmmmm..... I think this HRm would help students like me to realize what the real world means... It is to go with the flow. Adapt to the environment and compete to the fullest to survive.. the world ahead us is not a a playground anymore. It is a fast-changing world that we should have to go through...

Am I too exagerate?????lol....duh! At least I've learned.... :)
