HND人力资源管理导论Outcome
“Escape to Wild”是一家成功的公司，专门通过邮购和小型的零售专营店来销售户外休闲服饰。
它作为一家私营公司小规模的经营了超过15年的，一直到六年前，一位经理被聘请来扩展公司业务。
首先，公司增加了邮购目录上的商品数，并且用了更大的仓库来存放和配送货物。
四年前，“Escape to Wild”开了第一家自己的零售专营店，到现在，已经有了10家零售专营店，并有计划再多开五间店。
两年前，公司建立了自己的网站，实现了网上购物，这部分的业务发展迅速，还带了了很多海外的订单。
这位新经理上任以来，公司员工已由原来的20人发展到300人，业务也变得更大更复杂，持续需要加强员工来源已经成为这家户外服饰专营公司最强烈的需求，需要更多的员工是这家公司的当务之急。
“Escape to Wild”公司没有明确的人力资源部门。
部门经理们根据自己部门的职责招聘新人，负责确定他们的薪酬水平。
薪酬管理业务已经外包，员工培训一般是临时组织的，财务主管负责处理员工的合同和特殊情况，例如产假和加薪。
在这个快速发展的时期，公司已经开始将更多的精力投入到服务正在增加的客户群中。
到目前为止，公司中员工的关系比较良好，但是，公司的现状表明是时候建立规定和程序从而能用更系统的方法去解决人力资源的问题。
在最近的公司管理层会议上，部门经理们不断的抱怨说他们花了太多的时间在处理一些日常的行政问题上，而这些问题明明都可以由人力资源部门来解决，如果公司能有一个这样的部门。
不断增加的员工数量使得财务部门花大量的时间来处理与人事相关的问题。
同时，部门经理们也会因为工作描述，招聘和甄选的实际操作，以及员工的薪酬待遇等问题产生矛盾。
一个管理层的人员最近参加了一个关于员工法案的研讨会，法律的复杂性带来的实际问题是公司更加需要一个专门的部门来公平的处理员工的问题。
同样，员工们也开始抱怨一些条款和条件中的矛盾，有一些人离职了，因为他们对自己遭受到的人力资源问题觉得不满意。

There are five sections in the report: management structure before merger; management structure after new development; contingency approach and its variables after merger; different relationships within the new structure; relevance of different relationships with new structure.Section 1:The Structure at Present in Shangri-la HotelAt present, flat structure is used in the management of the hotel. Hybrid management structure is used. Craig used the centralized and line approach to manage the restaurant .Ailsa used the decentralized and team approach to manage the hotel. In the hotel, all of the work was divided into four types according to different products or services: chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff.Flat structure: it means that a business has few vertical level of management and a wide span ofcontrol. As a result, the relationship between manager and subordinate will be closed, the flowof information will be quick, and it will save administrative expenses. However, because of wide spans, the communication between the same level department and employees will be difficult. In the case, for example, in the kitchen, there were only two levels: Craig, the manager; kitchen staffs and waiters. Craig directly gave the subordinates their different tasks. So it was a flat structure.Centralization& Decentralization: the centralization means that the important decisions aretaken by the top management and the other levels implement the directions that top manager gives. In the case, Craig mainly used the centralized approach. For example, all his subordinates must follow the menu made by Craig. And Craig made decisions by himself and allocated tasks to kitchen staff and waiters. It should be a centralized approach. Decentralization means top manager delegates authorities to all levels of management. In the case, Ailsa used this decentralized approach. For example, in the management of Ailsa, she gave rights to Antonio to run things. It was a decentralized approach.Line structure: it means that authority comes down from the boss to their staff directly in a line relationship. Its advantage is that it is very convenient to communicate because of the direct line relationship. However, because it needs an one-to-one managing process, the managing tasks are too heavy. It will be costly. In this case, Craig used the line approach. Craig allocated specific tasks to different staffs. He required that all staffs should do dishes following his menu. And he required the waiters should attend to customers within five minutes of being seated. He managed all the individuals in the restaurant directly. So it was a line approach.Team structure: it refers to divide the entire organization into work groups or teams. After dividing into teams, there will be high employee involvement and empowerment. The functional barriers will also be reduced. However, the ambiguous chain of command will arise. In the case, Ailsa used this approach. She divided all staffs in the hotel into several teams, such as the reception team managed by Antonio, the cleaning staff team, and the chambermaids team. Every team had their own specific work to do, and every team number involves in the management. So it was a team approach.Product or service: it means that the entire organization is divided into different departments according to the products or service supplied to customers. In the case, is was divided into four types: chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff. For example, in the management of the hotel, Craig ’s staffs were divided into following parts: the kitchen cook, the purchasing staff and the waiters. They did different tasks and made different products or service tocustomers. So it was a products or service approach.Section 2:An Appropriate Form of Re-Structure for Shangri-la HotelAfter the new development of the organization, the organizational structure can be divided into three parts: the manager, the staff and the supplier. It is called a Shamrock management structure. The departmentalization approach could also be used.Product departmentalization: it means that the entire organization is divided into different departments according to the products or service supplied to customers. In the case, before merger, it consists of four types: chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff. There would be additional two types after the merger. One was is farm , the other is Gordon’s restaurant.Shamrock structure: It especially refers to the three-part or three levels of an organizational structure. In the shamrock organization there are three different groups of people: basic managers, employees as the core part, the external co- workers and the part-time workers as a form of supplement.As above graph shows, the organization of the hotel was divided into three parts in the Shamrock model. The first part was the manager in the organization. This part played an important role in the organization. In the case, Craig was a manager who directs the tasks in the kitchen and the restaurant. He arranged and managed the kitchen and restaurant into a normal operation. Ailsa played a key role in the marketing and management of the hotel. She worked hard in the Supplier-Gordo Managermanaging hotel development and made great progress finally. The second part was staff. Therenwere four types : chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff. They also played an important role in the operating activities of the hotel. The chambermaids and waiting staffsprovided service to customers and the kitchen supplied foods and drinks to customers. The thirdFarm supply: 3 staffs Craig: Kitchenpart was supplier- Gordon. Gordon supplied raw materials from his farm to Craig’s kitchen. Also, Restaurant:wife, 2 RestaurantGordon opened a restaurantchefs, 4whichwaitersconsisted of his wife, twoAlisa:chefsMarketingandfour waiters. Every partin the Shamrock organization has their own expectations.Managing thehotelChambermaidsReceptionKitchen staffWaiting staff.Section 3:The Influence of Task, Technology, and Size on the New StructureContingency theory holds the view that there is no one best way to structure. The particular situational factors such as size, technology or task will determine the systems and structures employed.Task: it means that the nature and size of the task will influence shaping the organization. For example, in the case, before Gordon converted his farm house to his restaurant, his main task was to grow and sell organic products. So the organization was a simple one. After owning a restaurant, the tasks became complicated and the organization structure became complicatedas well. So the nature and size of the task will determine the type of the organization structure.Technology: Technology relates to the production process used. It is not just related to the information technology, but also to the technology of producing a product or supplying service.In this case, before the merger of Gordon’s farm as a hotel, Ailsa made marketing strategiesand plans which focused on the city customers and business. After the merger, Ailsa mustmake another different marketing strategy which should be feasible in Gordon’s farm. Appropriate technology is very important in the operating process of an organization.Size: It is an essential factor that influences the shape and structure of an organization. Also, different size of organizations have different producing procedures and outcomes.In the case, after the merger, the hotel had a lot of changes in the size. For example, the number of stuffwas increasing. Besides, because Gordon’s farm was a part of the hotel, it would be less costlyto buy raw materials used in the kitchen. It would a competitive advantage in price within its competitors.Section 4: Line, Staff ,Functional and Lateral relationships within the New StructureLine relationship: it means that authority comes down from the boss to their staff directly in aline relationship. In the case, Craig was responsible for managing and directing the kitchenstaff and waiters. He allocated the specific tasks to different staffs to ensure that his plans were completed. This was an example of the line relationship.Staff relationship: It means the relationship between the staffs in different departments. Forexample, in the case, the relationship between reception staff and other staffs, such as the maintenance staff.Functional relationship: It is a relationship which exists between different functions in the hotel. In the case, for example, the relationship between the accountant function and other functions. They all had closed relationship in the organization.Lateral relationship: It is a relationship which exists between the same level of staffs which are in different systems and do different tasks. For example, there were waiters in both Ailsa ’s and Craig’s management system. But waiters in Craig’s restaurant supplied service to customers eating here. And waiters in Ailsa ’s hotel supplied service to customers living here. This was a lateral relationship.Section 5: Authority, Responsibility and Delegation within the New StructureAuthority: It is a right to order or direct others to do specific tasks, and then attract the responses which are appropriate to achieve the goals of the organization. For example, in the case, only Craig had the authority to allocate tasks to his staffs. And only Craig and Saskia had the right to sign for any procedure. Few changes appeared after the merger.Responsibility：It is the obligation for some people in the organization to perform a task, assignment or function. In the case, for example, Antonio as a reception manager, had the responsibility on reception of clients. Few changes appeared after the merger.Delegation: It is an action to pass the responsibility or authority to a person to carry out and complete the specific task. In the case, Ailsa delegated her right to Antonio to help her manage the hotel. However, Craig hardly delegated any right to others. As a result, it caused some problems such as staffs’complaints. The suggestion is that Craig should delegate some rights to the staff, such as some decision-making. In this way, the involvement of the staffs will be increased. And the efficiency of kitchen operation will be improved.ConclusionThe findings of the report reveal the management structures, contingency theory and different relationships and their applications in different situations.ReferenceYuan Yu, Zhang Shutao,2021,Managing People and Organisations, China Modern Economic Publishing House.。

The company has high quality and high reputation. For every company, training is necessary and important. In order to achieve better company, this report will analyses the national training framework and the training initiatives, the most important is through the analyses to implementation the training initiatives.Part 1 The national training frameworkTraining in a National Context it is widely written that employee development should not exist in isolation but should be actively involved in supporting the organisation to achieve its business objectives.The National Training Framework is made up of information from a number of sources, both government and the network of organizations, geared towards helping organizations and individuals to develop.In Scotland, the Scottish Executive identifies key priorities for achieving business development. There are some agencies and training schemes offered nationally to support organisations.1.Scottish Enterprise / Local Enterprise CompaniesIt consist of Scottish Enterprise and 12 Local Enterprise Companies. The key theme is learning and skills, to achieve this, the networks play key roles in meeting national targets for training and are responsible for the delivery of some national training schemes. Scottish Enterprise may provide funding for local initiatives aimed at achieving the government’s national targets for education and training. Many of these initiatives might include:●Investors in people●Modern apprenticeships●National vocational qualifications2.Sector Skills CouncilsSector Skills Councils are independent, strategic UK-wide organisations. They have responsibility for skills and workforce development of all those employed in their sectors - from professional staff to tradesmen and women, administrative staff, support staff and other ancillary workers. They also cover all sizes of employer - from large firms to micro-businesses and the self employed. Each SSC is an employer-led organisation that actively involves trade unions, professional bodies and other key stakeholders. They replace a network of over 70 National Training Organisations (NTOs). Collectively the SSCs form the Skills for Business Network, which is responsible for tackling the skills and productivity needs of the UK. The Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA) is responsible for funding, supporting and monitoring the network of Sector Skills Councils. All SSCs are licensed by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, in consultation with Ministers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.The four key goals are: Reduce skills gaps and shortages; Improve productivity; Increase opportunities for all individuals in the workforce and Improve learning supply. For the first time, SSCs give employers direct influence on training policy. Unlike the former National Training Organisations, which were responsible only for apprenticeship training, Sector Skills Councils are looking at education and training at all levels, from apprenticeships to Masters Degrees.Part 2 The training initiativesI will choose three training initiatives to help the AG Bell company.1. Investors in peopleThe Investors in Peoples Standards sets out a level of good practice for the training and development of people to achieve business goals. It provides a national framework for improving business performance and competitiveness. Organization working towardsthe Standard must show a planned approach to setting and communicating business objectives and developing people to meet these objectives.The Investors in Peoples Standards is based on four key principles: Commitment: to invest in people to achieve business goalsPlanning: how skill, individuals and teams are to be developed to achieve these goals Action: taking action to develop and use necessary skill in well defined and continuing programme directly tied to business objectivesEvaluation: outcomes of training and development for individuals progress towards goals, the value achieved and future needs.2. Get for workGet for work is a training programme for young people who want to develop skills and equip themselves for the world of work. The scheme is designed to support young people move into a job, further training or college, by helping them focus on what they want to do, what’s the best job for them. Get Ready for Work also helps young people identify their individual needs and offer training in a number of skills.3. Modern apprenticeshipsModern Apprenticeships offer people aged over 16 the chance of paid employment linked with the opportunity to train for jobs at craft, technician and management level. They are an exciting way for people to gain skills and qualification that will help to start a career without having to study full-time, and are available now across a wide range of industries. Modern Apprentices are given the chance to develop expertise and knowledge through on-the-job assessment as well as can also gain vital skills in areas such as teamwork and problem solving.Part3 The usefulness of two of training initiatives at AG BellIn my opinion, I think Investors in People is suits for AG Bell. Because investors inpeople is a practical, flexible and easy to use framework delivering organisational improvement through people. It centers on the development of people to achieve real results and continuous improvement for any organisation. For the AG Bell, this way can helps staff know their common goal clearly, develop team spirit and increase their performance. So the taff quality highly, the company will make more profits.Get ready for work is suits for the company too. Because the expansion, it is necessary to recruit new employees. AG Bell can use this way can recruit some people who has dream and target, then train them. Let them know what they need to be and how to achieve the company’s goal. This way can make employees feel important and valuable.Part4 The implementation of the two training initiatives at AG BellImplement Investors in PeopleThere are four principles: commitment, planning, action, evaluation.First, employee must know their goals and bright future, then must have a nice plan to improve their skill and knowledge level. Next they should focus on how to achieve goals and take action. Last evaluate the efforts for future needs.Implement Go study for workGo study for work helps young people to improve their vocational and core skills, fill any knowledge gaps and boost their overall employability. The programme will work with young people for up to six months and they will be given a temporary work experience placement with a business relevant to their interests and skills. There is expert for everyone. He will chat to young people and answer any question, to suggest them what they need to and how to deal with their work problems. AG Bell can use this way to let new employees adapt workplace and improve their skills and increaseexperience before they work. Thus when they work, they will be easier and more proficiently, the company will be stronger.ConclusionThrough the analysis of AG Bell Ltd, there are some points need to improve. Because of the extension, AG Bell will recruit new employees, use some useful training initiatives, new employees can familiar with work and environment before they work, improve their specialized knowledge and skills. Thus the company will better and better, make more profits in the future.。

Formal organizationFormal organization has a clear organizational structure and clear management delegation and has a certain degree of control. Formal organizations are designed to be clear regulations and determining role. Shangri-La Hotel is a formal organization. Informal organizationsInformal organizations are flexible and loose structure, are spontaneous and have different levels of participants and the relationship is not defined. Informal organization can provide interest and pleasure in working life. Craig personal centralized control kitchen has many complaining voice. These small groups are composed of an informal organization.Section 3: Open System Theory什么事开放式系统Reduction in salary will lower the staff attitude resulting in a decline in service quality. Improve the quality of staff, can improve the quality of service of the staff.PEST is used to analyze the external and macro-environment.

IntroductionThe purpose of this report is to examine the understanding of management structure in the organization and its application. There are five sections in the report: management structurebefore merger; management structure after new development; contingency approach and its variables after merger; different relationships within the new structure; relevance of different relationships with new structure.Section 1:The Structure at Present in Shangri-la HotelAt present, flat structure is used in the management of the hotel. Hybrid management structure is used. Craig used the centralized and line approach to manage the restaurant .Ailsa used the decentralized and team approach to manage the hotel. In the hotel, all of the work was divided into four types according to different products or services: chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff.Flat structure: it means that a business has few vertical level of management and a wide span of control. As a result, the relationship between manager and subordinate will be closed, the flow of information will be quick, and it will save administrative expenses. However, because of wide spans, the communication between the same level department and employees will be difficult. In the case, for example, in the kitchen, there were only two levels: Craig, the manager; kitchen staffs and waiters. Craig directly gave the subordinates their different tasks. So it was a flat structure.Centralization& Decentralization: the centralization means that the important decisions are taken by the top management and the other levels implement the directions that top manager gives. In the case, Craig mainly used the centralized approach. For example, all his subordinates must follow the menu made by Craig. And Craig made decisions by himself and allocated tasks to kitchen staff and waiters. It should be a centralized approach. Decentralization means top manager delegates authorities to all levels of management. In the case, Ailsa used this decentralized approach. For example, in the management of Ailsa, she gave rights to Antonio to run things. It was a decentralized approach.Line structure: it means that authority comes down from the boss to their staff directly in a line relationship. Its advantage is that it is very convenient to communicate because of the direct line relationship. However, because it needs an one-to-one managing process, the managing tasks are too heavy. It will be costly. In this case, Craig used the line approach. Craig allocated specific tasks to different staffs. He required that all staffs should do dishes following his menu. And he required the waiters should attend to customers within fiveminutes of being seated. He managed all the individuals in the restaurant directly. So it was a line approach.Team structure: it refers to divide the entire organization into work groups or teams. After dividing into teams, there will be high employee involvement and empowerment. The functional barriers will also be reduced. However, the ambiguous chain of command will arise. In the case, Ailsa used this approach. She divided all staffs in the hotel into several teams, such as the reception team managed by Antonio, the cleaning staff team, and the chambermaids team. Every team had their own specific work to do, and every team number involves in the management. So it was a team approach.Product or service: it means that the entire organization is divided into different departments according to the products or service supplied to customers. In the case, is was divided into four types: chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff. For example, in the management of the hotel, Craig’s staffs were divided into following parts: the kitchen cook, the purchasing staff and the waiters. They did different tasks and made different products or service to customers. So it was a products or service approach.Section 2:An Appropriate Form of Re-Structure for Shangri-la HotelAfter the new development of the organization, the organizational structure can be divided into three parts: the manager, the staff and the supplier. It is called a Shamrock management structure. The departmentalization approach could also be used.Product departmentalization: it means that the entire organization is divided into different departments according to the products or service supplied to customers. In the case, before merger, it consists of four types: chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff. There would be additional two types after the merger. One was is farm , the other is Gordon’s restaurant.Shamrock structure: It especially refers to the three-part or three levels of an organizational structure. In the shamrock organization there are three different groups of people: basic managers, employees as the core part, the external co- workers and the part-time workers as a form of supplement.As above graph shows, the organization of the hotel was divided into three parts in the Shamrock model. The first part was the manager in the organization. This part played an important role in the organization. In the case, Craig was a manager who directs the tasks in the kitchen and the restaurant. He arranged and managed the kitchen and restaurant into a normal operation. Ailsa played a key role in the marketing and management of the hotel. She worked hard in the managing hotel development and made great progress finally. The second part was staff. There were four types : chambermaids, reception, kitchen staff and waiting staff. They also played an important role in the operating activities of the hotel. The chambermaids and waiting staffs provided service to customers and the kitchen supplied foods and drinks to customers. The third part was supplier- Gordon. Gordon supplied raw materials from his farm to Craig’s kitchen. Also, Gordon opened a restaurant which consisted of his wife, two chefs and four waiters. Every part in the Shamrock organization has their own expectations.Section 3:The Influence of Task, Technology, and Size on the New StructureContingency theory holds the view that there is no one best way to structure. The particular situational factors such as size, technology or task will determine the systems and structures employed.Task: it means that the nature and size of the task will influence shaping the organization. For example, in the case, before Gordon converted his farm house to his restaurant, his main task was to grow and sell organic products. So the organization was a simple one. After owning a restaurant, the tasks became complicated and the organization structure became complicated as well. So the nature and size of the task will determine the type of the organization structure.Technology: Technology relates to the production process used. It is not just related to the information technology, but also to the technology of producing a product or supplying service. In this case, before the merger of Gordon’s farm as a hotel, Ailsa made marketing strategies and plans which focused on the city customers and business. After the merger, Ailsa must make another different marketing strategy which should be feasible in Gordon’s farm. Appropriate technology is very important in the operating process of an organization.Size: It is an essential factor that influences the shape and structure of an organization. Also, different size of organizations have different producing procedures and outcomes. In the case, after the merger, the hotel had a lot of changes in the size. For example, the number of stuff was increasing. Besides, because Gordon’s farm was a part of the hotel, it would be less costly to buy raw materials used in the kitchen. It would a competitive advantage in price within its competitors.Section 4: Line, Staff ,Functional and Lateral relationships within the New StructureLine relationship: it means that authority comes down from the boss to their staff directly in a line relationship. In the case, Craig was responsible for managing and directing the kitchen staff and waiters. He allocated the specific tasks to different staffs to ensure that his plans were completed. This was an example of the line relationship.Staff relationship: It means the relationship between the staffs in different departments. For example, in the case, the relationship between reception staff and other staffs, such as the maintenance staff.Functional relationship: It is a relationship which exists between different functions in the hotel. In the case, for example, the relationship between the accountant function and other functions. They all had closed relationship in the organization.Lateral relationship: It is a relationship which exists between the same level of staffs which are in different systems and do different tasks. For example, there were waiters in both Ailsa’s and Craig’s management system. But waiters in Craig’s restaurant supplied service to customers eating here. And waiters in Ailsa’s hotel supplied service to customers living here. This was a lateral relationship.Section 5: Authority, Responsibility and Delegation within the New StructureAuthority: It is a right to order or direct others to do specific tasks, and then attract the responses which are appropriate to achieve the goals of the organization. For example, in thecase, only Craig had the authority to allocate tasks to his staffs. And only Craig and Saskia had the right to sign for any procedure. Few changes appeared after the merger.Responsibility：It is the obligation for some people in the organization to perform a task,assignment or function. In the case, for example, Antonio as a reception manager, had the responsibility on reception of clients. Few changes appeared after the merger.Delegation: It is an action to pass the responsibility or authority to a person to carry out and complete the specific task. In the case, Ailsa delegated her right to Antonio to help her manage the hotel. However, Craig hardly delegated any right to others. As a result, it caused some problems such as staffs’ complaints. The suggestion is that Craig should delegate some rights to the staff, such as some decision-making. In this way, the involvement of the staffs will be increased. And the efficiency of kitchen operation will be improved.ConclusionThe findings of the report reveal the management structures, contingency theory and different relationships and their applications in different situations.ReferenceYuan Yu, Zhang Shutao,2013,Managing People and Organisations, China Modern Economic Publishing House.。

同时，部门经理们也会因为工作描述，招聘和甄选的实际操作，以及员工的薪酬待遇等问题产生矛盾。
一个管理层的人员最近参加了一个关于员工法案的研讨会，法律的复杂性带来的实际问题是公司更加需要一个专门的部门来公平的处理员工的问题。
同样，员工们也开始抱怨一些条款和条件中的矛盾，有一些人离职了，因为他们对自己遭受到的人力资源问题觉得不满意。
所有的管理队伍都同意引进更系统的管理方法。
总经理已经表达了愿望：希望公司能用更战略的方法来招聘，培训和发展员工，从而保证留住这些为公司创造成功和利益的人力资源。
The human resource management for Escape to the Wild Introduction: This report is an advantage report for Escape to the Wild, in it, we will talk about its human resource management and how to manage it more better. We will also give some advantages to its line manager. It will also talk about the joyful influence for this company.1.The human resource management can be defined as a strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets: the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of its objectives.The range of human resource management activities are human resource planning, recruitment and selection, job analysis and design, training and development, employee relations, pay and reward, employee welfare, performance management and appraisal, ensuring fair employment practice.In this report, I will talk about four activities: human resource planning, recruitmentand selection, job analysis and design and training and development.(1) Human resource planningThe human resource planning’s function and purpose:●To ensure that firm has right number of people, in the right place, with the rightskills at the right time.●To support firms’ expansion strategy.●To ensuring HR resource supplements humane resource demands.●To set human resource objectives and deciding how to meet them.Do human resource planning need to employees need for a company, it include inside and outside predict.
