Organizational Implications of Human Resource Development
1. Using your knowledge of the stages of life and career
development, explain how the career issues of a 27-year-old differ from those
of a 45-year-old. What are the organizational implications of the issues you
identified?
2. In your experience (both from your own organization and
your observation on other organizations) what are the different forms of
management education? In your opinion, can they be substituted by training or
on the job experiences? Why or why not?
3. Provide a real example for the case where organization transformation
change was a necessary strategy to maintain organizational efficiency. On the
other hand, what are the situations/conditions that may hinder the
effectiveness of organization transformation change?
4. In some organizations, cultural diversity efforts meet
with resistance from key managers and employees. Identify at least one reason
for this resistance and recommend ways it can be overcome. Support your
recommendations.
