7. Conclusions and recommendations. (5 Marks)Assignment Task 2: [30 Marks] Case Study (1500+ words)Enron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth, a Nebraska company. In 1990, Enron which was just a natural gas transportation company at the time started a new division to trade natural gas. The company went from being a stodgy gas pipeline company to being a world-class company overnight. Enron soon became a $55 billion empire, trading gas, electricity, minerals, water, paper, and broadband capacity. A critical part of Enrons success was the companys employee value proposition (EVP). The EVP focused on Enron as dealmaker and was designed to attract the top talent the company needed to continue to move it forward. The EVP provided employees with the opportunity to do something big and to change how business was done in other industries. Jobs were reconstructed to give employees a lot of elbow room and headroom. Traditional gas pipeline employees were not the employees needed for this new, never-before-tried venture. Internal job movements at Enron were an important part of the EVP. Managers were strongly encouraged to allow employees to move within the company. The goal was to not hold anyone back. When the global broadband unit was launched, 100 top performers from around the company were brought together in Houston. By the end of the day, 50 had been recruited for the new project. Overall, the recruiting strategy focusing on internal recruitment paid off. The business continued to grow and attract entrepreneurial employees.
The company that thought it had no way to go but up came crashing down in 2001, when it was charged with illegal activities. By 2004, Enrons corporate officers faced numerous charges of wrongdoing, and the company was a shell of its former self. Managers were charged with manufacturing profits, hiding debt, and bullying Wall Street to buy into its questionable accounting and investment practices. An extensive amount of downsizing has occurred, and many employees had lost all of their retirement savings after Enrons stock collapsed. Faced with bankruptcy and a sullied reputation, the company struggled to continue but finally made the decision to cease to exist once all litigation concludes.
At one time, Enrons recruiting efforts were described as a model for other employers. Enron portrayed itself as an exciting company with lots of growth opportunity a firm in which employees experienced a great deal of autonomy and responsibility.
Based on above Enron case study and global HR context, answer the following questions:-
1. In spite of having some good HR strategies, why did the company fail and what in your view could they have done differently, as part of their overall company and HR strategy, to ensure that the company sustains itself? (15 marks)2. If you were appointed as the CEO of Enron in similar context to turn the company around, what recruiting, talent management and retention HR strategies would you constitute to revive the company back to its original laurels? (15 marks)References (Adhering to Harvard Referencing Format)
Throughout the quarter, we have explored a range of issues anchored in how women are portrayed in popular culture. In doing so, we identified a thread of misrepresentations that emphasize how mainstream media has co-opted feminism under the guise of “empowerment.” Much of our analysis has been centered on identifying the relationship of the media (film, television, music, etc.) to women and feminism. We have also been exposed to many of the possible explanations as to why the relationship is so complex and dysfunctional at best. The final project is a take home assignment (obviously) that requires you to articulate your own theory of change through a combination of writing and creative visual expression. Your theory of change is an expression of your thoughts and ideas on how to change the address the systemic misrepresentations. Your written responses must: 1) Be 3 – 5 pages in length for the written piece. 2) Define the problem you are addressing (don’t assume the reader knows). 3) Address the following course questions: What are the gendered and sexual repercussions of uncritical, passive consumption of popular culture in our personal, political, and social lives? 4) Cite the core reading (aka “the book”) and a minimum of 3 additional sources. 5) Define your terms to give your analysis the proper context. (For example: pop culture, gender, etc.) 6) Contain YOUR EXPLANATION (aka theory) with supporting evidence as opposed to merely summarizing what the readings have said throughout the quarter. 7) Incorporate your experiences with the themes you are addressing. Additionally, you are encouraged to incorporate research from your previous work in the course to support your ideas; there is no need to “start fresh” or conduct additional research for the final.
