Response 1:
For this discussion I have chosen social media. With todays society being one of instant gratification, it is no surprise how big an impact social media has on the HRM arena.
It is critical for managers to adapt to the changes in technology as they are introduced and become more popular. Parry & Tyson (2008) state that more than 50% of all new hires originate from an online application source (as cited by Youssef, 2015). Management may be able to gather an understanding of employee attitude or moral based on their social media posts. I have a friend who lost a colleague because of what that person posted on their personal Facebook page. Apparently, this colleague inadvertently posted proprietary information and someone alerted the company. Private social media use should be addressed during the onboarding process and expectations clearly delineated to the employee early in their career and reaffirmed yearly via refresher training.
Filling a position with the wrong person could be as crippling to an organization as not having anyone performing the job. The process of utilizing social and professional networks of organizations and individuals who are communicating and connecting is called social recruiting (Youssef, 2015). Some of the best candidates are either already employed or are passive. Social media sites have made it much easier to identify passive candidates because you can search through groups or hashtags to find people that have the skills that are required (Millet, 2017). My friend just started a new job and the recruiter found him through the social media site LinkedIn. Many corporations have social media pages where they work very hard to establish a respected brand while also promoting themselves as a great place to work. If a company pays attention to their employees social media, they could get an understanding of what type of development they are looking for.
Technology is used in many different ways that were probably never intended. Social sites offer the ability to video conference over an app like Facebook. It would not be unthinkable to believe that performance reviews, or employee training and development is taking place in this manner. I do not work weekends at my store, but every Saturday and Sunday my assistances will video call me over Facebook and show me the numbers that I need to report to my District Manager. Utilizing this technology, I am able to remotely train some of the new employees which means I can save myself a 45-minute drive to my store.

Response 2:
Globalization is an emerging trend that has begun and will continue to affect HRM in the future. The effect of globalization on managers and hr professionals is the process of management in general. Youssef (2015) provides us with a list of ways that HRM will be affected such as where to operate, how to set up job design, who to recruit and send, and how to compensate employers that travel or move overseas. Another way that can be affected is running operations for the business overseas from the United States. Running operations outside of that country may be a safer option in many forms but can have its disadvantages such as lack of understanding of the community in which the business operates in general. Countries that are regulated differently than in the US will mean that the organization must complete research before opening a business there. Developing job design so that it fits into the goals of the organization but also follows the guidelines in other countries is highly necessary for success there.
Globalization will affect talent acquisition because recruiting, developing, and retaining individuals who will be successful in companies that exist in other countries can be a difficult task. Youssef (2015) states, “leaders need to be capable of understanding, readily adapting to, and strategically integrating different cultural dimensions” (CH. 10.1).It will be necessary to hire individuals who will lead the company successfully. Employees must be able to work among individuals within other countries without biases but also learning and understanding the cultures in which the company exists. Also, it is important for the employee to think quickly and strategically to follow the laws of other countries in case something drastic happens. It is difficult enough to expand into other countries with the possibility of having to evacuate the country due to threats, so it is vital to recruit and retain those with skills to manage the organization overseas.
Globalization will affect the training and development of employees because of the skills necessary to reside in another country and maintain a business there. The skills required to run a business outside of the US will require the employees to understand the area they are operating in.Thus, employers must hire individuals will the right qualifications and be willing to develop them into leaders.

Youve created many works of authorship in your lifetime. Now its time to move past the artistic qualities of the work and consider its copyright and your rights as a copyright owner. Assignment 4 builds on the discussion project by asking you to consider the copyright implications in your post itself (in whatever form you posted it–whether a written or presentation-style post). Your post is a “work of authorship” that is copyrighted. In Part 1, you’ll complete a copyright registration form for your post (please don’t fill out the form for another personal work as I won’t be able to verify accuracy and it will result in grade reduction). In Part 2, you examine whether Full Sail has any copyright ownership or use rights in your discussion post. Your grade is an average of these two parts.
If you did not complete the initial discussion post, you will have to do so now in order to complete this assignment.
Complete the challenges posed in each of the 2 parts of this activity. This involves completing a copyright registration form for your week 4 licensing discussion submission and answering questions about the University student intellectual property policy.
Copyright registration of creative works require the registrant to supply information about the authorship and scope of the registration. The registration form is designed to tell the Copyright Office the story of the work being registered who created it, who owns it now, whats included and whats excluded from the claim, and whether the work has been made available to the public for sale, license or other distribution. In this part, youll address the following questions to tell the registration story of YOUR licensing presentation prepared for the week 4 discussion board.

For this week’s discussion, what journal articles have you been able to find that help with your topic research? Post your comments and respond to two other student comments by the end of the week.
Response 1:
The journal articles that I have been able to find that have helped with my research, are articles that relate to how different projects have used the phases of the construction process in different ways. The journal articles have focused on value engineering and cost effective ways to plan out a project in the front end. The articles talk about research in the planning stages of construction and making sure everyone understands the communication pipe line for a project. This eliminates any confusion in the future for everyone on the project team. The main articles I have found have to do with the medical field and building hospitals. Hospitals have so many details in the project and may be difficult to build because of the circumstances. The articles have published material to help other builders, clients, and architects in the future.
Response 2:
World economies are growing at a fast rate. The need for sustainable housing developments and healthy buildings is more important than ever. The journals and articles from EU LIRN database have numerous articles involving LEED. One of the many I have chosen is called Going Green: Aluminum’s Role in Sustainability . Aluminum reflects solar heat and is lightweight and most importantly recyclable . Using aluminum provides greener options.
Response 3:
For this week’s discussion, what journal articles have you been able to find that help with your topic research?
To my research, I have found most helpfully the academic studies from different universities database. I know that may sound vague, but the topic I have chosen for my capstone is reinforced concrete, and there are almost infinity possibilities of information in so many ways; like what it is, its applications, its types, when and how to use it.
I chose toaster
