An economys long-term growth potential is measured by the pace at which GDP can expand without affecting unemployment and, hence, inflation. It is determined by growth in the supply of labour along with the speed with which productivity improves. The pace of potential growth helps determine the sustainability of everything from public debt to the prices of shares. Unfortunately, the outlook for Americas potential growth rate was darkening long...more
So you have good qualifications and good experience, you have seen it all, done it all, surely this entitles you to have a moral right to every good quality vacancy which comes along? Well, no it doesn't of course. No individual has a divine right to preference over other candidates and those who genuinely believe that they should are probably suffering from delusion. This is also somewhat of an arrogant attitude to have. The fact is that someone...more
Prof. Patrick A. Ashley DMA MA BA The traditional principles of marketing strategy can also be applied to e-commerce strategy. Making sure that the mix between your target market, your product or service and your corporate resources is still just as important. What many companies fail to recognize however, is that in many cases their online customers need to be categorized differently. The product or service may also need to be re-developed or re-branded and the online resource requirement is different too. Online customers tend to be younger, although this will obviously change given time. Online customers also tend to be categorized as passive, with low attention spans. This is not intended to be an insult. It is a simple reality based upon the fact that supply always outstrips demand. Online customers invariably have infinite choice and very little time.

Predicting the future is not something at which human beings have been particularly successful. Even if we have some rough idea about the likely trends, the plans we make to cope with them may not work out the way in which we intended. The more we learn about human resourcing in organizations, the more we understand how difficult it is to manage the present, let alone the future. It is readily apparent that human resource planning has limitations. In the laissez faire markets of global capitalism, organizational survival is perceived to depend upon two imperatives: Alignment of outputs with demand; Sufficient adaptability to cope with change. Every organization is subject to these imperatives. Even organizations in the public and voluntary sectors which, by tradition, were not exposed directly to market competition have been forced to comply. It is currently a norm and expectation of society that organizations must deliver services and products with maximum efficiency and at lowest cost. Human resourcing has been at the forefront of this consumer-and market orientated philosophy and great emphasis has been placed on the concept of labour utilization. The traditional...more
