I am very interested in a career field in Human Resources. For this paper, I interviewed Lillian Mannino who is a Human Resource and Personnel Manager at the UC San Diego Graduate School of Global Policy and Strategy. As a manager, Lillian serves as the link between the graduate school’s management and its employees. She is in charge of overseeing recruitment, employee relations, policy development, payroll, and benefits. Personnel management is a special branch of management that is focus on the concerns of employees at work and their relationship with the organization. Her educational experiences consist of a bachelor degree at UC San Diego in Management Science and a professional Human Resources certificate from UCSD Extension. She has been working in the academic administration for almost ten years and earned her current position as manager through climbing up the ladder. She started off working in this field as a student affairs officer then was promoted to an administrative specialist. Her prior work experience paved a path for her to build up professional experience as well as a solid network within the UCSD administrative system.

The word activist or feminist, it invokes a picture in the mind of a person who is strong, resilient, and unafraid to stand up for what they believe in. Martha P. Cotera does not fulfill this picture at first glance, but she has done great work with the Chicano Movement and the Chicana Feminist Movement. More than you would think could come out of a librarian.

The primary problem in this case deals with a source of tension between two employees that have recently received promotions. There are various individual factors that may be a source of conflict that the case points to; however both parties need to look beyond their own personal perspectives in order to move towards the organizational goals. In the case of Thomas Green, he certainly has a lot of maturing to do before he is able to perform well as the next stage in his career development. In the case of his supervisor, Mr. Davis, he must also learn how to help disgruntled employees fill into their position in their new roles without any personal feelings get in the way. Several observations were made as to how both employees could address the problems. However, given the fact that both employees are new to their roles, the best case solution may involve a more senior management professional getting involved and setting a good example for both employees by resolving the sources of conflict and aligning them towards organizational goals.

Many of the problems that Carl has found concerning the new employee orientation could have been avoided. Carl is a recently hired employee himself. He should have kept up with the progress of the new employee orientation and checked on the files for the applicants. ABC, Inc. should also have made sure that their new employee was capable of doing his job efficiently. If Carl had stayed on top of his project, the problems that he faced would not have occurred.

One of the first things that she did and company provided her with management training courses. As she was never exposed to paperwork and management issues, that was the good incentive from company’s management, that helped her to understand her job duties better. More as soon as she started her job at the new place, she assembled basic information regarding her employees and organized in an individual meeting with them in the first week. Also, she took a tour around the office to get acquainted with the area where salespersons worked. She took stock of items to her new office, that she would require.

     Vicky must also take into account the duty to her boss, Wendy. First, Vicky must suggest that quick temper of Wendy’s be abolished because animosity between Wendy and her staff members may lead to a broader conflict. Also such behavior could lead the company as a whole to be less productive, because with Wendy’s quick temper it will be hard for staff members to share ideas. Sharing ideas between members of staff makes a company more successful.

One of her working goals is to train local people eventually to take over her duties. This proved that she wanted to give to people rather than

This situation certainly presents problems for Mrs. Laraby. She needs to find out if this was an isolated event or if horseplay is prevalent when she is not around. Lack of motivation is clearly a problem that must be dealt with. Another issue that must be considered is if the three employees and manager will be reprimanded for their actions. The job design needs to be reviewed to determine if changes need to be implemented.

The major issues in this case start with Anne not being familiar with the intricacies of politics, culture and communication in Jordan. She took a position in a foreign company in a culture significantly different from her own and did not take the time to properly familiarize herself with the host country. That is the root of the problem, but it continued to compound at her work when she did not do her part to clarify her role in the organization, ExportJordan. Anne also did not clearly understand the role of her co-workers and was not aware of the undercurrents of the situation and what was happening around her. She publicly demeaned her male assistant by giving him a derogatory nickname. She failed to notice the absence of her female coworker until someone mentioned it to her. She failed to realize that not everyone in the organization was there to further the cause of women becoming entrepreneurs and entering the business world. Nor did she seem to understand that Jafar’s influence extended beyond the company and that it unwise to anger him. The biggest problem in this whole case study is that because Anne was not culturally aware she misunderstood everything that was happening around her and her ignorance not only endangered her, but everyone she was attempting to help.

Many diverse experiences have helped to shape my professional marketing career. These positions range from promoting Broadway shows, to marketing at the global children's entertainment brand Pokémon, and managing a girl’s brand called My Princess Academy. While my professional experiences have provided me with a strong real world foundation, I feel that in order to pursue my goal of managing a major entertainment brand, I require the knowledge and training afforded by an MBA program. I am confident that my professional experiences coupled with an MBA will help me achieve a vibrant career in marketing management.

From the beginning, Linton made it clear to Benton that she did not like MBAs because they are arrogant. However, Linton’s inability to contain herself shows a prejudice against MBAs that is not professional and is also on the opposite side of the current company policy about hiring and promotions (D.
