From Smartblog by Michael Morell
The author sees declining number of job titles named HR; he sees more titles like people, culture. And at the same time is it a transactional job: payroll, hiring, training, transfer, pay, leaves, benefits.
Or does the job cover more strategic topics like motivation, human capital, intellectual capital.
I would suppose the changing titles merely involves change in job branding. Each company would have its own way of configuring the traditional HR job.
What do you think of the HR function?

Zero tolerance for Grammar Mistakes - from HBR
From HBR - Kyle Wiens of iFixit
The author has instituted a zero tolerance for grammatical mistakes. It is understandable for his business that is involved in writing. But he requires the same for other non writing jobs. Grammatical errors when it goes out into the web, makes the organization look foolish and unprofessional.
God is in the details. Those who make these mistakes betray their eye for details, remembering things and often make mistakes in their work. Remember what the new CEO did when he took over Korean Airlines after a terrible crash (due to misunderstanding with the control tower staff? He had everybody go on English training. Seems very logical.
I am often dubbed as an editor or copywriter when ever I fine Accounting people in making mistakes in the Voucher.
How about you?
Will you hire people who use wrong grammar?

Economic crisis and low returns demands more innovation - HBR
From Harvard Business Review
There is economic crisis both in US and across the Atlantic; and traditional business enterprises returns have been anemic; the BRIC nations have not been doing so well lately. As always it is noted that crisis breeds a lot of opportunities. Recent developments in oil and energy explorations makes this a bright spot in US economy. Everywhere, human ingenuity powered by self empowerment will drive up economy
Some areas where growth will come from:
l. Badges of skills (certification training. This is a booming business for CCE at AGSB)
2. Making money from Multitasking ; also movies and broadcasting, media have to adapt their business models/infrastructures to this development
3. Recofriendation
4. Newer models of entrepreneurship for higher yields and returns
