  2. Describe to what extent expatriates will be employed in the overseas location.
  3. Describe how training and orientation plans will prepare expatriate employees for success abroad and for their return home.

Write a paper that analyzes and defines suggested improvements to their compensation system and/or compensation techniques and policies.

Select an organization or industry you are familiar with.
Write a paper that analyzes and defines suggested improvements to their compensation system and/or compensation techniques and policies.

You will need to review or define the organizations compensation policies, procedures, and techniques (i.e. the Pay Model Exhibit 1.5, attached ) to identify specific areas of improvement in an effort to ensure the compensation system is aligned to achieve the organizations compensation objectives.
Notes:
a) If compensation objectives are not defined, suggest what they should be based on the organizations goals and objectives. Your suggestions should be supported by research (the books/resources in this class and outside of this class) and/or discussion with other HR professionals.
Topics that must be addressed include (Note: ensure that your paper uses the text in bold below as section headings):

a) Overview of the current Compensation System using the pay model framework (the Pay Model Exhibit 1.5 ) outlined in the Milkovich book (4 points)

b) Definition of at least four (4) recommendations for improving the current Compensation Strategy and/or Compensation Policies. (3 points per recommendation. Total of 12 points)

Each recommendation must include, at a minimum; 1)  Detailed definition of the recommendation with supporting data.
     For example, the current and proposed pay scales, pay structures, job evaluation policy, external competitive analysis, or pay for performance policy. 2)  How the recommendation would be implemented, i.e. a list of tasks and what areas or people would be responsible for implementation.

Writing and presentation (5 points total): a)The paper must have a cover page that includes: a) course name, b) student name, c) assignment title followed by name of the organization analyzed in the proposal, d) date and e) professors name. (.5 points)
b)  The paper must not have any spelling or grammar errors, use a 12 point times new roman font and be double spaced (3 points ).
c)   Must use at least 3 external sources and the sources need to be formatted using APA style (.5 points).

How can humans establish and maintain careful oversight of the work carried out by robots?

Elon-Musk donated $10 million to a foundation called the Future of Life Institute. The institute published an open letter from an impressive array of AI experts who call for careful research into how humanity can reap the benefits of AI “while avoiding its pitfalls.” Go online and find out about the institute’s initiatives. What are its primary goals? How can humans establish and maintain careful oversight of the work carried out by robots? How valid are Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking’s concerns? What other concerns should the public bear in mind as the technological revolution advances?

Compare and contrast Rule-Based Classifiers vs. Decision Tree Models.

Topic:  Rule-Based Classifiers vs. Decision Tree Models

Overview:  The purpose of this assignment is to determine which method is more appropriate in certain scenarios for building classification models relative to data mining practices.

Classification is a pervasive data mining problem which has many applications, such as medical analysis, fraud detection, and network security. Various types of classification approaches have been proposed to address research problems. Classification is generally divided into two steps. First, construct a classification model based on the training dataset. Second, use the model to predict new instances for which the class labels are unknown. Hence, classification divides data samples into target classes. The classification technique predicts the target class for each data point. For example in the medical industry, patients can be classified as “high risk” or “low risk” patient based on their disease pattern using data classification approach. It is a supervised learning approach having known class categories.

  • Compare and contrast Rule-Based Classifiers vs. Decision Tree Models. For example, a training dataset is not required with rule-based classifiers, but this method is difficult to work with due to all the rules that must be listed.
  • In what situations is it better to use Rule-Based Classifiers rather than a Decision Tree model? Are they mutually exclusive techniques?
  • Please provide a real-world example to support your inferences.

Please ensure you refer to the rubric for specific details on the requirements for this assignment!

Rubric:

Compare techniques: Explains the similarities and basic uses or concepts of each technique. (30%)

Contrast techniques: Explains the differences and contrasting uses or concepts of each technique. (30%)

Real-world example: Described one valid use case or practical example of how one of the techniques is used in business. (30%)

Articulation of Response: Submission has no major errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization. (10%)

Identify criteria against which you evaluate alternative solutions (i.e. time for implementation, tangible costs, acceptability to management)

Read the case, “Harley-Davidson Inc. in May 2015” attached. Use the case analysis format provided below to  identify and address the problems and provide several suggested solutions that the Harley-Davidson Inc. executive team can review for possible implementation.
Be sure to “identify 2 to 3 problems” and “develop 2 to 3 possible solutions to the problems identified”, and use this as the focus for making your case in the case format.

Note: The case questions provided at the end of each case can be used as an insight to what the problems might be; so be sure to investigate the case carefully.

Case Format

I. Write the Executive Summary

  • One to two paragraphs in length
  • On cover page of the report
  • Briefly identify the major problems facing the manager/key person
  • Summarize the recommended plan of action and include a brief justification of the recommended plan

II. Statement of the Problem

  • State the problems facing the manager/key person
  • Identify and link the symptoms and root causes of the problems
  • Differentiate short term from long term problems
  • Conclude with the decision facing the manager/key person

III. Causes of the Problem 

  • Provide a detailed analysis of the problems; identify in the Statement of the Problem
  • In the analysis, apply theories and models from the text and/or readings
  • Support conclusions and /or assumptions with specific references to the case and/or the readings

IV. Decision Criteria and Alternative Solutions

  • Identify criteria against which you evaluate alternative solutions (i.e. time for implementation, tangible costs, acceptability to management)
  • Include two or three possible alternative solutions
  • Evaluate the pros and cons of each alternative against the criteria listed
  • Suggest additional pros/cons if appropriate

V. Recommended Solution, Implementation and Justification

  • Identify who, what, when, and how in your recommended plan of action
  • Solution and implementation should address the problems and causes identified in the previous section
  • The recommended plan should include a contingency plan(s) to back up the ‘ideal’ course of action
  • Using models and theories, identify why you chose the recommended plan of action – why it’s the best and why it would work

VI. External Sourcing

  • 2 to 3 external sources (in addition to your textbook) should be referenced to back up your recommendations or to identify issues.  This information would be ideally sourced in current journals, magazines and newspapers and should reflect current management thought or practice with respect to the issues Identify.
