Human Resources Mgt.

Human Resources Management is a term which stresses the development of people as assets rather than their control as costs and places people management at the strategic heart of business planning.

Sentenced to Everyday Life...

Articles suggest that it is now possible to have a nanny to look after your children, a person to clean your house or do your garden, as well as an agency to arrange your social life, your holidays, someone to let the washing-machine repair person to come into your house when you are at work, buy presents for your children and your spouse and so on. Indeed, lifestyle managers and consultants from companies such as the London-based TimeEnergyNetwork, which will run your household, co-ordinating all these sub-contractors to undertake your domestic chores.

Negotiated order, power and culture

Submitted by Ashesh on 9 November 2008 - 8:46am

It was a fine university day. The birds were chirping and purple flowers blossoming. Until, our dear beloved and respected class rep. who is always devoted to her work (nunds) gave me the golden opportunity to photocopy HRM notes on culture. One fine day, I sat down and I read it - because I do read sometimes, though very rarely: Chapter 3: Managing Culture by Stephen Linstead, under the section, The Origins of Organisational Culture, last 3 lines in paragraph 3 and I quote:

"A good film to watch, which relates to negotiated order, power and culture is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1973) starring Jack Nicholson and directed by Milos Forman"
Given the vivid effects of better understanding HRM (in some way) after watching Office Space. I decided to take advantage of the broadband connection and download the movie from the information super highway.  I sat down and with the dolby Headphone enjoyed the 5 Oscar Winning film. It was a fantastic film. Amazing performance by Jack Nicholson. Great screenplay. as well as being entertaining, great way of understanding concepts in Sociology and well as Psychology.
