Case study: China's Xiaomi launches online lending service in India Xiaomi Corporation is a Chinese electronics company founded by Lei Jun in 2010 that makes and invests in smartphones, mobile apps, laptops, bags, trimmers, earphones, MI Television, Shoes, fitness bands, and many other products. At the start of 2018, Xiaomi was the world's fourth-largest smartphone manufacturer leading in both the largest market, China, and the second-largest market, India. Beijing-headquartered Xiaomi first moved into India's fast-growing financial services space in March 2019 with Mi Pay, which allows bill payments and money transfers. The company has recently (Tuesday, 3rd December) launched its online lending service in India, widening its offering of financial products in one of the world's biggest web services markets. While smartphones are the core of its business, Xiaomi earns low margins from its affordable devices and relies on services for long-term profit. The company prides itself in selling their affordable products to the mass markets in China and India. However, Xiaomi’s attempt at launching a financial unit in Indonesia failed due to a disagreement with regulators over licencing. The company had to eventually shut down their operations in Indonesia in late 2018. Question: Question 1. Describe the alignment between the three different types of business strategies and its association with HRM strategies and functions. What business strategy has Xiaomi adopted and how would this strategy impact their SHRM approach? Question 2 Given that Xiaomi has grown its international operations significantly in the last 7 years, the company has had to adopt an aggressive recruitment and training strategy. Based on the systems approach to HRD, the first step of the process is to conduct a HRD needs analysis. Describe how Xiaomi would conduct a HRD needs analysis. Question 3 How would Xiaomi then evaluate the effectiveness of the HRD programs?

Please write a 300-word essay describing a business-related problem using the information below.

Think about, decide upon and describe a business-related problem you would like to resolve. The first step is to know and to clearly articulate a "Problem Statement" and a "Problem Question".The problem needs to be narrowed down to the extent resolution is possible. If problems are too general, you end up discovering all kinds of details and getting to a result, a solution, a resolution can be overwhelming. Keep it simple.

Describe in detail information about this problem, who cares about the problem, what people/roles are involved, why this problem needs to be resolved, what is the purpose of giving effort, time, and resources to address the problem.  Sometimes this process is referred to as a "Work Plan" although we will add the considerations regarding Anticipating the Audience and Issues in Step 2.

Read the case below and answer the following questions.

In a large publishing company in New York, a young woman, Laura, was hired as a copy editor for one of the many journals produced by the company. Seven other employees worked on this team editing this Journal, including a senior editor named Tim. Laura had worked there for about a month when she and her fellow co-workers went for happy-hour after work. Everybody had a great time and had consumed a fair amount of alcohol. When everybody was leaving the bar to head home, Tim, who had been secretly attracted to Laura since she started work at the journal, hailed a cab and offered to share the ride with Laura. Laura accepted the offer. Once she was inside the cab, Tim then suddenly made an aggressive advance toward her. Horrified, Laura pushed him away and told him to get out of the cab. Mortified, Tim slinked out of the cab.

.

The next day, Laura came to work with some apprehension. How would she deal with Tim? Would the cab incident affect her job? Although Tim did not supervise her, would he try to get her fired? Tim immediately went to her office and apologized for his extremely inappropriate behavior in the cab. Relieved at his apology, Laura decided not to pursue the matter through any formal channels in the office. She figured that since Tim apologized, there was no need to dwell on the incident. After all, Laura was a new employee, still in the process of learning the office politics and proving herself as being a competent editor. She did not want to rock the boat or bring negative attention to herself.

,

Everything would have been okay if Tim had stopped at just one sincerely expressed apology. However, whenever he found himself alone with Laura, Tim apologized again. And again. He said he was sorry about the incident at every opportunity he had for three months. This constant apology was awkward and annoying to Laura. Ironically, by Tim apologizing continuously for his unwanted attention in the cab, he was foisting another form of unwanted attention upon Laura. When he first started apologizing, Laura told him that "it was okay". After three months of many apologies, she reached a point where she asked him to stop apologizing, to no avail. Frustrated, she confided in a few co-workers about her unusual dilemma. Consequently, these co-workers lost respect for Tim.

Although the cab incident was not common knowledge in the office, Tim sensed that others knew about it by the way they interacted with him. The incident became the office "elephant" that the employees "in the know" saw, but didn't explicitly acknowledge. Meanwhile, Laura was tired of hearing Tim apologize and her feelings of discomfort increased. So when another editor position opened up in another journal division of the company, she applied for the job and was transferred to the other journal. In her new position, she didn't have Tim bothering her anymore. But she was unhappy with her new job. The journal material was very boring. She didn't work as well with her co-workers as she did in the previous journal (excepting Tim). She realized that she really enjoyed her old job. She began to regret her decision to avoid the conflict with Tim by moving to the new job. In an effort to seek advice as to how to solve her problem, Laura decided to consult with the company ombudsman.
