In Edmund Spenser's 'The Faerie Queene', Books 11 and 111 The Bower of Bliss and the Garden of Adonis might look similar from a distance; their geographical form is certainly similar, and the tour on which Spenser takes us seems to follow the same kind of route. But their ostensible similarity, and their juxtaposition in two adjacent books of 'The Faerie Queene' only serve to highlight their differences. The two gardens represent very different qualities of human life, and Spenser indicates the differences visually in his description of the gardens, verbally in the words he uses in these descriptions, and dramatically in the kinds of activity that take place in the gardens.The first distinction to...

BANKING JOBS- The Candidate Decline. A banking recruitment survey by commercialfinancepeople.co.uk Job applications in the Finance sector reached a three-year low according to figures released by R.E.C. This experience appears to be across the board and banking jobs are no exception. Finance houses that regularly take the time to re-evaluate their staffing policies and styles are those that not only hit their staffing targets but attract quality employees. The alternative to regular re-evaluation is to turn to the risky options offered by Search and Selection firms. This may well be the best option for Executive Banking Jobs, but below that level the discipline is expensive and speculative, in that...

New trends create an alternative to hiring...
Current trends in business are conspiring to create a revolution in the way that small and medium sized companies do business. These forces have created an environment in which growing companies can make maximum use of their labor dollars, while accessing a talent base previously unreachable due to the costs involved with hiring top talent. The first trend is towards self-employment. Entrepreneurship is at an all time high. According to a study by Inc, 47% of U.S. adults have taken initial steps toward starting their own business or supplementing their income. However, once out of the corporate world, many small business owners find that they have budgets too small to access the level of talent that...
Leaders envision the future; they inspire organization members and chart the course of the organization. Leaders must instill values - whether they are a concern for quality, honesty, calculated risk taking, or respect for employees and customers.Every group of people that performs near its total capacity has some person as its head who is skilled in the art of leadership. This skill seems to be a compound of various ingredients: the ability to use power effectively and in a responsible manner; the ability to comprehend that human beings have different motivation forces at different times and in different situations; the ability to inspire; and the ability to act in a manner that will develop a...

There are many different and competing definitions of "corporate culture" in the organizational theory literature. On one end of the spectrum culture is simply defined as the patterns of behavior within the organization (Smircich, 1983). On the other end, some theorists have defined organizational culture as a system of shared cognitions and the human mind generates the culture by means of a finite number of rules (Fiol, 1991). Although all the theorists believe in the importance of the culture in the organizational studies but still there is a lack of consensus over its precise definition (Papers4you.com, 2006). Theorists have accepted this fact and approached the concept of culture from the most...
Definition of Corporate Culture
Are you looking for a clear definition of corporate culture? You have come to the right place!I have developed a definition of corporate culture after nearly 20 years of working with organizations and viewing them from the perspective of a cultural anthropologist as well as a strategy consultant with an MBA in finance.The easiest way to think of corporate culture is that it is an energy field that determines how people think, act, and view the world around them. I often compare culture to electricity. Culture is powerful and invisible and its effects are far reaching. Culture is an energy force that becomes woven through the thinking, behavior, and identity of those within the group.Corporate...

Human resources receives far more lip service than respect, but economic factors factors are making HR the subject of some truly substantive executive discussions-and expenditures Human resources as a lowly cost center The Human resource department is traditionally inundated with excessive hard and soft costs. This single department is a necessary evil. HR is not part of any company's core line of business, which creates these hard and soft costs. These costs...
DMV Records Play Critical Role in Hiring Decisions
DMV records, driving, motor vehicle records or MVRs provide detailed information about a person's traffic violations, DUIs, license suspensions. Unfortunately, most states no longer allow online access DMV records, so this must be done by US mail from the state, usually for a small fee. This is due to increased security concerns over the growing problem of identify theft. There is a national database, The National Driver Register or NDR, nhtsa.dot.gov, but this is limited to severe traffic violations such as DUI. It's like a criminal database for bad driver's, so if you're not listed there, that's good. If you have not had a driver's license cancelled, denied, suspended or revoked nor convicted of a...

One of the most popular forms of Internet advertising is pay-per-click (PPC). Merchants place ads with search engines like Google or MSN and the ad appears whenever someone enters a relevant search.If the ad is clicked the merchant pays a fee - anywhere from 5 cents to $100. It's a fabulous idea - ad campaigns targeted at your most likely customers.It's such a fabulous idea that Google, the king of PPC, grossed $1.24 billion in the first 3 months of this year - most of it from advertising revenue.Watch out, though. There's trouble in PPC land. The flip side to PPC is a phenomenon called "click fraud" or "click spam."There are two types of click fraud. The first type occurs when someone...
Brand Management: Customer vs. Employee
When it's all said and done, all you're truly left with at the end of the day is your company's brand and what your brand stands for in the minds of both your customers and employees. But do you manage your company brand for the benefit of both constituencies: customers and employees? Most companies that I consult with focus their brand management efforts solely on the customer. But if you're really serious about differentiating your brand from your competitors, then I suggest that you begin to manage and think about your brand from a dual, yet fully aligned point of view: customers and employees. Your brand, be it appliances, electronics, automobiles, clothing, etc. serves as a powerful magnet...

Repetitive strain injuries (RSI's) in the workplace, including, but not limited to carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, have risen to pandemic proportions during the past 5 years.

Gone are the days when a pat on the back for a job well done or a gold watch after 25 years of service were enough to keep employees happy , productive and in the end profitable. Different employees need to be rewarded in different ways. You may wish to rewarded in different ways at different times of your life and career. For example if you are a person who is newly married and saving for a home the best reward for you may be an increase in pay. However s several years later with a young you may felt that the best rewarded is time off or 3 day weekends in the summer to better spend precious time with his family. Good managers and supervisors are flexible in their reward tactics. Employee...

The Benefits to Hiring a Lawyer
Some people may assume that hiring a lawyer and working with a lawyer during a legal issue will be comparable to the client/attorney relationship portrayed on television. However, the reality is that the proceedings are often very different.While most television proceedings are highly charged and full of courtroom actions, your lawyer will probably doing more research, paper filing and phone work behind the scenes than actual courtroom litigation.

vantages to Incorporating There's no question that hard work and a little luck is what it takes to BE successful. But a little knowledge, especially when it comes to setting up your business, will help you STAY successful. While many business owners give a lot of thought to location, store décor, customer service, hiring employees and management issues (and rightly so); choosing the proper business structure (such as sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, limited liability company) doesn't get the attention it deserves. Many entrepreneurs don't realize this, but the business form they choose can often times be the difference between success and failure, especially in today's competitive...
Succesful Management of a Diverse Workforce
Employees of the modern era consist of a community with different ethnic backgrounds which has led to new techniques for managing a diverse workforce. Not too long ago, the high profile projects were reserved for a select few people from a common background.

Ross Perot's old company, EDS, talks of using its experience in handling workplace diversity as a way of better understanding a globally diverse marketplace, and sees its CCI as part of such successful management (Grayson, 1993).A manager in the modern...

Time Off Or Good Training?
Funny how so many organizations offer leadership training. Yeah its a money spinner alright! Money for you? Nah! ROI, puhlease! Leadership training? Yeah right! Leaders are people who achieve results. Leaders are those whose attitudes and actions lead to positive results. Sending your staff to leadership training may not deliver the goods you are looking for! It helps them build a foundation for achieving the objectives, if they get to implement the knowledge. Some never do. I have spent time with several organizations who send people to fancy schools and programs. When I say fancy, I mean high end fancy, like creepers on walls fancy. Does that mean it will make your team into leaders. Maybe. No...

Disability and Employment Issues
Disability - The Red Flag!Disability - What Do We Mean?The term "disability" is widely, and loosely used, to cover a range of functional impairments, injuries or loss of function. Some disabilities (such as short-sightedness) are quite socially acceptable and provide no barriers to social interaction, services or employment. Other disabilities, such as mild hearing loss, are not apparent to others and can be managed with a minimum of difficulty.Unfortunately the word disability suggests high dependence and a lack of competence in the minds of some. Underlying prejudice often focuses on the "difference", rather than the abilities and capacities of those affected by a disability. Employers reflect...
