Italian Settlement in North America in the 17 and 18th century What They Did, Although most of the Italian immigration into the USA did not take place until the 18th century, Italians played an imperative role in the development of American colonies and the overall creation for the USA. Most of the Italian immigrants settled in the Ellis Island where they engaged in agricultural and Craftsmen activities. Although most of the immigrants worked as laborers, only a small proportion of the immigrants worked as Craftsmen. The craftsmen accounted for less than 20% of the immigrants, and they were assigned higher status than the traditional contending status(Cetin 378). The small proportion who worked as Craftsmen were allocated manual activities such as carpentry brick layering, masonry, tailoring, and cutting hair. Since the immigrants arrived in large numbers, they formed an essential component of the organized American workforce. As they gained better skills and experience, the immigrants formed a significant portion of the mining textile and the clothing sectors. They became the most extensive race to work on the mines and manufacturing, where…
model established by professor Geert Hofstede to implement cultural comparison of key cultural dimensions that influence performance planning Abstract The familiarity of cultural impacts assists IHRM in understanding cultural perspectives in a cross-cultural workplace. Since differences in culture can inhibit organization performance, it is good to explore how cultural dimensions can impact decision making. This report utilizes the model established by professor Geert Hofstede to implement cultural comparison of key cultural dimensions that influence performance planning and how work can be executed in the U.S. as compared to China. This report concludes that cultural training will be needed to encourage Chinese team members to work beyond institutional norms, task execution and fully participate in growing the company’s success. Similarly, the expatriates will need cultural training to understand the significance of cultural disparity so they can adjust their communication practices accordingly. This will help the Chinese to understand the expatriates and overcome cultural barriers that inhibit the effective implementation of the adopted management system. Introduction Background The internationalization of companies makes International Human Resource Management (IHRM) an essential tool for…
Succession Planning Executive Summary In this executive summary, I will briefly discuss the success of a business enterprise, among many other factors, which depends on effective planning and strategy formulation with respect to its future. In this respect, a strategy to identify and develop individuals with the aim of promoting them on to positions when they become vacant is of significant importance and is commonly referred to as succession planning (Weisblat, 2018). The importance of succession planning is evident from the fact that, aside from the natural retirement, when top management personnel is deceased, for instance, an organization must fill the gap with an immediate successor to at least ensure that the business does not go off the track. However, in the absence of a competent successor, the ship could end up sinking on its own (Weisblat, 2018). Although succession planning for incumbent executives and management demands a selfless attitude and vision, the reality, however, does not portray so. It is a common practice among board members of large business entities to rather look outside their organization for leadership just…

How Millennials today compare with their grandparents 50 years ago Today’s millennials are more educated compared to our grandparents. I am pursuing a bachelors, and a high number of fellow millennials are also in universities. An increase in the number of higher education institutions has prompted most students to enrol for degrees. Besides, an increase in unemployment rates has created more value in higher education. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree stand a better chance of securing a high paying job. The high number of educated millennials is different from the one of our grandparents. Only 15% of men and 9% of women had degrees due to fewer number of colleges and universities. There is a high number of millennial women with a bachelor’s degree than men. 36% of the millennial women have degrees while the number of men stands at 29% (Fry, Igielnik, & Patten, 2018).

Main Features of Criminal Justice Bureaucracy Introduction All business organizations, whether educational, business, or government, are social systems run by people. The effective functioning of organizations is embedded in how people work. Human reputation is unpredictable, and human resource management possesses a duty of establishing, selecting competent personnel, training the staff, and monitoring them towards higher levels of performance and provide a mechanism to ensure the accrued personnel maintain their affiliation with the organization. The police domain is no exception from these insights. Human resource management is a critical element in the police department since it provided direct services to the public and is mandated to safeguard societal members. Police personnel who are well-trained, qualified, and motivate to their work and who are administered by competent superiors are core contributors to a police service constructed on the threshold of police ethics. The contemporary killings of the unarmed African Americans have aroused different concerns on social media. Following the regular shootings of the unarmed African Americans, protests, riots, and the advent of the Black Lives Matter movement have ascended to advocate…

Latino community cultural description The Latino community in America is increasing steadily. It has the highest population among the minority groups. Latinos have strong cultural beliefs that they bring with themselves during immigration. The strong cultural beliefs are linked to gender relations and roles. The Latinos have the machismo and marianismo that state out the gender roles for men and women. Machismo distinguishes the male traits, which include being independent, dominant, and virile. Marianismo refers to the characteristics of females that involve being submissive, chaste, and dependent (Brannon, 2017). The male is considered the breadwinner of the family while the female is expected to perform the domestic chores, including taking care of children. Latino men are often considered strict and cautious to the outsiders. This provides a sense of dominance and superiority back at home. The idea of domestic dominance is gotten from the cultural belief of taking care of responsibilities in the family. Traditionally, the role of women is the mother. The significant circle of women is with the family and religious members. The direct links among family members…

Need for Organization Special Assessment Organization capacity assessment is a vital tool used by the organization in a bid to develop self-assessment of the organizational capacity in order to develop a good action plan. The action plan is meant to improve its capacity. Organization assessment usually helps the organization to look back on its function versus the benchmark. Organization assessment, specifically in a non-governmental organization provides the avenues that can be used by the organization to make a special adjustment on its overall performance. An organization can only perform if each and everyone within the organization performs its roles effectively (Glor, 2007). A self-assessment criterion gives the organization room to assess their personal assessment needs.
