A Look at the Future: A Collaborative Assignment (100 points)
You will submit this assignment individually, but you may collaborate on it with other colleagues if you desire. Collaboration, while always encouraged, is not required. Note that official groups will not be formed by me in Canvas.
Using Internet sources, you will research an eNewspaper, eMagazine, and/or online journal. The eNewspaper, eMagazine, or online journal that you select should include article titles and articles that address the future of organizations and particularly the future of human resource management. You may have to review and research more than one eNewspaper, eMagazine, or online journal.
Create a list of the top ten headlines that you have selected based on your review. Then, collaborate (if appropriate) with three or four class colleagues using the group function within Canvas (or another communications medium of your choice).
Collaborate with one another and review the 10 headlines that could be related to an organization and strategic human resources operations in the future. Examples of such headlines might be something such as “World’s Best Place to Work” or “How This Company Changed the World.”
Based on these conversations, determine the top five headlines from the 10 that you selected.
Next, create a short PowerPoint presentation with audio narration (or notes) that includes the following information listed below. Base your PowerPoint on the review of your five selected articles as well as the comments and suggestions of your class colleagues.
The next to the last slide should be titled “Collaborators” (if appropriate). List the names of the three or four class colleagues that you spoke with about your selection of articles and your presentation topic.
The last slide should be your “References” slide. Follow APA Style format.
Note: You must include an audio narration (or transcript in notes) on every slide, except the last slide, the References slide.
Here is the information that should be included in your PowerPoint:
1. What are the ethical considerations that organizations should be cognizant of for their future business endeavors? At the strategic level, what are the top challenges and concerns? Why?
2. Work and significant professional endeavors will continue to change and at an ever-increasing rate. What are the top factors that will drive such change? Why are such factors important to consider and discuss?
3. There are several federal and state laws and regulations that impact businesses. What are probable new ones that could be enacted that address the most prevalent problems not only today but also in the future?
4. What are the relevant operational concerns for organizations of the future? In what manner could human resource management benefit or be a deleterious force to the organization? How can you tell?
5. What will the organizations and businesses of the future ultimately look like to customers and clients, stakeholders, and society as a whole? Why is this important to consider and discuss?
