Lastly it increase my understanding about how a HR manager play its function in an organization. HR issue has become more concerned by an organization not only for the purpose to be able to competitive with competitors but it will also help organization to build up their businesses in worldwide with their effective HRIS that have implemented.

Human Resource Recruiting and Staffing

Based on what I learnt in Dr Roya class about Human Resource Recruiting and Staffing. Dr. Roya explain about function of recruitment and staffing in human resource. In addition, about method to recruit human resource and also about advantage and disadvantage of recruiting. In Human Resource Information System HRIS to get suitable human resource in organization to do the work must do recruitment and staffing and also selection. To do get good recruit must follow recruitment process.

According Wikipedia recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting a qualified person for a job. Recruitment is the process of having the right person, in the right place, at the right time. Recruitment process is an important process in selecting workers. Nowadays, the collection of potential employees can be made online or manual depends on the organization. The data obtained will help the organization to get qualified workers to fill the available vacancies. This online collection will be utilized by organizations to obtain information on the applicant to facilitate the process of selection.

If implement the Recruitment component, it can recruit personnel based on the requirements. That can increase the amount of available applicants to the enterprise and include them in the selection procedure for vacancies by advertising for personnel. In addition, it can give ability to meet personnel requirements is key for enterprises. When do recruitment it can distribute tasks and responsibilities to different people involved in the recruitment process.

 Recruitment to remain competitive in global environment, organizations are searching for more efficient and effective means of acquiring and maintaining a highly qualified workforce. A productive strategy for meeting this goal has been use of technology, especially the Internet. E-Recruitment is the process of personnel recruitment using electronic resources, in particular the internet.

Online recruitment is the process of matching people to appropriate jobs, using the Internet. Recruitment can save companies cost when do in online recruitment. It also can decrease cycle time and increase the efficiency of the process by allowing organizations to spend less time gathering and sorting data.

Actually have more process or flow in recruitment process. The process it’s depend on the organization. But, this is a simple of process in recruitment process. Firstly is application process is to gain an insight into the skills, abilities and experience you have. Second is select and appoint the most suitable and available applicant for the job. After select it can get decision this is information from the application and selection process is gathered to select the most suitable and available person. Last process is result about Successful and unsuccessful candidates are sent letters to notify them of the outcome of the recruitment process.

Information and Competitive Advantage

This topic Dr. Roya have teach about to understand how competitive advantage is created is critical to the development of a firm. Dr. Roya also given explanation to identify basic competitive strategies and explain how a business can use information technology (IT) to confront the competitive forces.

Information technology (IT) plays a major role in reengineering most business processes firstly it can substantially increase process efficiencies, information technology also can improves communication. In addition, information technology also can give facilitates collaboration. Information technology can change the way businesses compete. When use IT in strategic information system that can help organization in gain a competitive advantage, reduce a competitive advantage and it can also meet other strategic enterprise objectives.

In this topic also can learnt about competitive strategies. Competitive strategies is on industry structure and competitor analysis in a variety of industry environments, through it contains many implication for competitive advantage (Micheal E. Porter, 1985).  Five competitive strategies is explain about cost leadership, differentiation strategy, innovation strategy, growth strategy and alliance strategy. Firstly about cost leadership is generating an advantage by producing at a lower cost and the increase profit margins. Differentiation strategy is about differentiate a firm’s products from its competitors it also focus on a particular segment.

 Before learnt about competitive strategies it must learnt about competitive force. Competitive force is a part in competitive advantage. According Wikipedia, competitive force is group of firm that market their product by offering consumers greater value with lower price and providing greater benefit and service to client.

According Michael Porter's Five Forces Model explains that there are five forces that determine industry attractiveness and long-run industry profitability. These is competitive force is  first rivalry of competitors within its industry is more intense where there are many small or equally sized competitors; and rivalry is less when an industry has a clear market leader. Second is new entrants into an industry and its markets can give an effect the level of competition whereby reduce customer dependence on the existing company. Next is substitute products that may capture market share is a product from another industry that offers similar benefits to the consumer as the product produced by the firms within the industry. Next is bargaining power of customers is about people create demand in organization. Lastly is bargaining power of suppliers supply material and other product into the organization.

As a conclusion, competitive advantage also have force and that force can reduce when we have good strategy. So, I must study a lot about this topic to get more knowledge that can give me advantage to manage my job in future.

HRIS SYSTEM AND SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Based on what I have learnt in Dr. Roya class about Human Resource Information system (HRIS) and system architecture. HRIS architecture allows employee and manager to enter performance data display and analyse it for trends overtime and use the data as input for both the employee’s personal development plan (Steve Werner at. Al.). In class Dr. Roya teach about three basic model about HRIS system and system architecture. The system is standalone system model, data warehouse model and single integrated system model. Let see one by one about this three basic model.

Firstly, about standalone system model. The standalone system model operate the unit reporting the information independently. This system clearly identifies a company as a Multinational HRIS model. This system is ultimately localized and highly decentralize. This system is quite difficult to analysis data because taking a lot of time and effort. It also only little control at the center. In additional, this model is difficult because the information is not easily to be sent to the HQ.

Second system is data warehouse model. Data warehouse model use the same soft to runs all the units in each region or country. This system focus on identify international model that is focused on sharing. In additional, all the data warehouse model it is an intermediary from global system to multinational system. A data warehouse constructed from an integrated data source systems the integrated data source systems may be considered to be a part of a distributed operational data store layer. The data warehouse can integrate data from multiple source systems, enabling a central view across the enterprise.

Last but not list system is single integrated system model. Single integrated system model to identify characteristics arranged in the broad categories of data issues, application issues, presentation issues, and operational issues. This system has networking each other. In additional, this system identify global and transnational model that highly centralized and standardized which minimizes the need of the local business units. This system also focus on headquarters and connected with every region or country.

In conclusion, HRIS system and system architecture have a weakness and strength. When any company use the system, the company must choose good system model. In additional I also must learnt and investigate more about HRIS system to know more knowledge about HRIS system and system architecture to apply in my job after I graduate.
