This assignment has the following objectives: 1. Investigate the role of human resource development in work settings. 2. Develop theoretical and applied research skills in relation to: a) Locating and summarising information relevant to that topic; b) Presenting balanced arguments regarding the issues discussed; c) Critically analysing current theories, ideas and contributions and; d) Writing and referencing professionally.

W
hat you have learned about Chinese consumer behavior compared to US consumer behavior.

 

Paper details:

To structure this paper, you may want to utilize the textbook chapter as topics. For example, Chapter 3 deals with values; how are the values of Chinese consumers similar and different from the values of US consumers. Chapter 4 deals demographics; how are the demographics of Chinese society similar and different from the demographics of US Society?1. You MUST separate your report into sections. A long, rambling paper is not acceptable. You must provide some structure to the paper. As suggested in the syllabus, a good approach would be to use the chapters of the text as your organizational structure, separated into sections. 2. You MUST integrate the material in the text with things we learned in China. This could be things you saw and learned in China that illustrate things in the book, or things in China that seem to contradict what is in the book. The key to the paper is that you thoughtfully integrate the book and your experiences in China.

Purpose-driven enterprises

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

About the Research There has been a long-standing debate regarding the purpose of business, and the commanding perspective has been that the purpose of business is to maximise profits and shareholder value. This perspective is being challenged by the emergence of organisations with dual motives of pursuing social purpose and economic success, such as social enterprises and B Corps. There are a number of emerging business models that have a strong commitment to social and/or environmental purposes, whilst running profitable businesses. These are hybrid businesses that converge for-profit and not-for-profit values, beliefs, and practices while employing market mechanisms to address social and environmental issues. This emerging arena is garnering increasing support from a wide range of advisers, institutions, and investors. This study refers to this arena as the Purposeful Business Ecosystem (PBE), and the businesses that operate in this space are referred to as Purpose Driven Enterprises (PDEs). This study provides insights into a little- researched area to advance knowledge of how two different types of PDEs address their social and environmental challenges and implement their purpose-driven business models. The aim of this study is to undertake a comparative analysis of two PDEs – B Corps and Social Enterprises – in Australia to understand the similarities and differences between them, and how they implement a dual purpose. I am conducting interviews with representatives of B Corps and Social Enterprises in Australia to understand their contribution to the PBE and their motivations to pursue a dual purpose in business. Research question: “What are the key similarities and differences between social enterprises and B Corps that operate within the purposeful business ecosystem in Australia?” Sub-questions: SQ 1: What are the practices and drivers of purpose-driven enterprises, focusing primarily on B Corps and Social Enterprises? SQ 2: What are the key challenges faced by B Corps and Social Enterprises? SQ 3: What is their role and contribution to the emerging purposeful business ecosystem? SQ 4: How are they attempting to influence traditional business practice? General Instructions – All information regarding the research has been shared. Please ensure it is kept confidential. – A rough outline can be found by having a look at the Presentation file (Title: Thesis Final Presentation) – I have included some Example Thesis files for reference. I have also added two text files with all the references used so far.

Chapter Instructions: – I have uploaded a copy of the literature review and the findings chapters to provide a clear context. You may use references from the literature review or even add to it – If you can create a strong story to set the tone, that will phenomenal. – You can take parts from the “About this Research” section above – Please include the research questions and sub-questions in the introduction chapter – You don’t have to write about the methodology and the chapter wise guide – I will add that since I’ll be revising the other chapters while you progress on this chapter. Please let me know if you need any additional papers, information, or have any questions. The time deadline must be met because naturally, it is quite last minute. Therefore I’ve requested it to be completed in 18 hours
