Human Resources: Worst Managed

Posted by fatima paclibar

"Human beings are the most important, potent and critical, resource of any organization, and yet the least understood and the worst managed of its resources"


Human beings are the building blocks of any organization, without it, nothing will work. We are the highest form of individual who was gifted with free will, intellect, emotion and capability to adapt changes. In HRM, we learned that we are the most valuable asset in a company. We can bring it in success and can totally destroy it.

We are not like machine. We have our own needs, rights, emotion and limitations. We ought to have insurance to ensure our health, demand for salary for living, seek leave in case of emergency, have our own rights that needs to be respected and for these reasons we are being least understood and worst managed. Sometimes our rights and needs are being neglected. Unlike machine we are capable to complaint in unrighteous management, unlawful activities and any other irregularities. Yet, we are the meat of the company we are capable to adopt any changes, can function without supervision and many more for the benefits of the company.

The success of a company is within itself. Proper management, supervision and development to its resources especially the "Human Resources" is advised.

HRM on BSIT/BSCS Curriculum

Posted by fatima paclibar

I've been asking myself "Why we have Human Resource Management in our curriculum and what is it all about?" As an Information Technology student we'll be dealing greatly on computers doing some programs and etc. But our world does not end there, we're living in a world which is now being describe as "flat".

So the question "What is the relation of having HRM in connection to a computer related courses". Well to start let me define first what is Human Resource Management. It is
based on ideas and techniques developed to enhance worker motivation, productivity and performance. We are the most valued asset in an industry. I've learned from our adopted company which is NEDA, National Economic and Development Authority in one of our visit that in is very important to maintain a healthy working environment where harmonious relationship betwen employer-employee and employee-employee, keeping everyone motivated in work and productive to be able to attain common goal - to prosper.

Knowing your rights, responsibilities, right values towards work and how to be a good employee or employer(why not) and how to apply it in the near future would be very challenging. All we're going to learn in this subject will indeed very useful and helpful in facing the real world.

Angels & Demons

Posted by fatima paclibar

When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati... the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth.

The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy... the Catholic Church.

Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces he has hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.

Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair... a secret location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.

An explosive international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war...

Dan Brown

Dan Brown Profile

Brown is interested in cryptography, keys, and codes, which are a recurring theme in his stories. Currently his novels have been translated into more than 40 languages.

Although many perceive Brown's books as anti-Christian, Brown states on his website that he is a Christian and says of his book The Da Vinci Code that it is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith".

The Solomon Key

Brown is working on a new novel, called The Solomon Key, which will reportedly take place in Washington D.C., and feature the "secret" society of the Freemasons. An exact release date has not been announced, but the most common media speculation says 2008. Brown's promotional website states that puzzles hidden in the book jacket of The Da Vinci Code (including two referring to the Kryptos sculpture at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia) give hints about the subject of this novel. This repeats a theme from some of Brown's earlier work. For example, a puzzle at the end of the book Deception Point decrypts to the message, "The Da Vinci Code will surface."

The 21st century Corporation

Posted by fatima paclibar

We are currently living in the 21st century – the Information Age. Corporation targets to go global,where technology plays the most important role. The Corporation is undergoing radical transformation, the new Industrial Revolution.

Many factors, from the need to expand beyond national borders to the inexorable shift toward intellectual capital, are driving change, but none is more important than the rise of Internet technologies which provides accessibility to information--instantaneously, from anywhere and ideas can be zapped around the globe in the blink of an eye. Adapt and management of corporation via the Web.

Thus, the corporation will need to nurture an array of formal and informal networks to ensure that these ideas can speed into development. In the near future, companies will call on outside contractors to assemble teams of designers, prototype producers, manufacturers, and distributors to get the job done. Emerging technologies will allow employees and freelancers anywhere in the world to converse in numerous languages online without the need for a translator. ''The gap between what we can imagine and what we can achieve has never been smaller,'' says Gary Hamel.

The 21st century Corporation, in contrast, is far more likely to look like a web: a flat, intricately woven form that links partners, employees, external contractors, suppliers, and customers in various collaborations. The players will grow more and more interdependent. Fewer companies will try to master all the disciplines necessary to produce and market their goods but will instead outsource skills--from research and development to manufacturing--to outsiders who can perform those functions with greater efficiency.

By using information to manage themselves and better serve their customers, companies will be able to do things cheaper, faster, and with far less waste. To keep ahead of the steep new-product curve, it will be crucial for businesses to attract and retain the best thinkers. The company of the future will call on talent and resources--especially intellectual capital--wherever they can be found around the globe, just as it will sell its goods and services around the globe. The Internet is a tool, and the biggest impact of that tool is speed.

At the very core of the 21st century corporation is technology, or what most people today call digitization. Put simply, digitization means removing human minds and hands from an organization's most routine tasks and replacing them with computers and networks. Digitizing everything from employee benefits to accounts receivables to product design cuts time, cost, and people from operations, resulting in huge savings and vast improvements in speed.

The truly great 21st century companies will recognize that the real power of technology is not just the ability to make a business more efficient but also its potential to spark transformative change. Much of that change will involve the company's relationship with its customers.
