While death maybe an unfortunate and inevitable occurrence in human life, the death of government policies was originally thought of as so or near impossible. Many researchers considered that termination can cause difficulties when trying to identify causal and predictable relationships. Possibly even more troublesome is the misunderstanding of what constitutes termination (Kinney, N, 2013).

However, the government of Malaysia have terminated several policies such as Teaching Science and Mathematics in English (PPSMI), Goods and Services Taxes (GST) and bend bridge project.

When Jim began working in the human resources department at KR Electronics, he was impressed with the number of advancement opportunities the job offered. His first task was to monitor reports that came in from employees through the company’s ethics hotline. It was a simple job, but one Jim felt would lead him to a higher position in the HR department. He spent two days learning about the company’s ethical policies and values, such as the importance of integrity and confidentiality. Jim felt reassured he chose a great company in which to start a career. KR Electronics was a competitive company, and every six months employees were evaluated for performance. While the highest performers received substantial bonuses, the lowest 15 percent were consistently fired within the year. This didn’t bother Jim too much. He knew many other well-known companies had a similar system in place. What bothered Jim was the way the supervisors treated employees who did not perform highly. Several employees approached Jim and told him of an abusive manager who often yelled at employees in front of other coworkers. Jim heard reports that the supervisor would make comments such as “I can’t wait till the year is up and I can tell you to get lost. It’ll be nice to actually get someone in this job with half a brain.” When Jim approached David, the human resources manager of his department, about what he heard, David shrugged off Jim’s concerns. “You’ve got to understand, Jim,” David explained. “We operate in a highly competitive field. Employees have to work quickly and efficiently in order to maintain our business. This often requires supervisors to get tough. Besides, this supervisor’s unit is one of our highest performers. Apparently, whatever he’s doing is working.” This remark made Jim feel uncomfortable, but he did not want to argue with his boss about it. One day Jim got a call from a woman in the company’s sales department. She informed him that many of the firm’s salespeople made exaggerated claims about the quality of their electronics. He also learned salespeople were making guarantees about products that were not true, such as how long the product would last. “The salespeople are given substantial bonuses for exceeding their quotas, so many promise whatever it takes to increase their sales,” the woman explained. Although it was not required to provide a name when reporting, the person talking to Jim gave her name as Sarah Jones. She asked Jim to make sure her sales manager Rick Martin did not find out she called the hotline. Jim gave the report to his supervisor for further investigation. Two weeks later Jim heard that Sarah Jones had been fired for poor performance. He approached David to ask him about the situation and was horrified to find out the sales manager of Sarah’s division had been told about her report. “But David, this is a violation of our confidentiality code! I promised Sarah we would keep her name anonymous when investigating this matter. What if Rick fired her out of retaliation?” Jim asked. David looked at Jim in exasperation. “Jim, you are making too big of a deal out of this. Nobody forced Sarah to give her name to us over the hotline. And trust me, Rick’s a good man. He wouldn’t fire someone simply to get back at them for reporting. It seems to me that these reports don’t have credibility, anyway. It’s likely that Sarah made up these allegations to hide her poor performance.” Jim left David’s office upset. Even if Sarah was a poor performer, he did not feel that it was right that her sales manager was told about her report when she expressly requested otherwise. As he went back to his desk, he remembered hearing that the sales manager and David were good friends and often went out together for lunch. Case 1 questions: 1

Human Resources performs many functions in an organization.A primary responsibility is assisting leaders and managers in recruiting and selecting future employees.While seemingly a straight forward task,'s, assessing a candidate's relevant skills,abilities,personality and intelligences, is fraught with challenges.Among these is the ability to accurately identify the candidate's job fit while minimizing the candidate's and interviewer's biases.What can HR professionals and managers do in order to limit the number of incorrect hires(false positives) and failing to hire the right candidates(false negatives).

Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 21-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinder with a flat top.

If the body's surface temperature is 36?C , what is the net rate of heat loss on a chilly 9?C  day? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.95.

I have worked it through three times with other written solutions however i cannot arrive at the correct answer. A final answer as well as a solution would be appreciated! Thanks!

Technology that performs at the level of superhuman intelligence and beyond already exists. As Harris explained, even with a machine that performs at the level of humans or a group of researchers, it’ll still work exponentially faster than them. Harris says, describing a machine like that, that “in one week, it can perform 20,000 years of human-level intellectual work.” So of course, it’ll be convenient and amazing to have artificial intelligence find the cure to disease and find the answers to a question almost instantaneously compared to a group of researchers who may take months to do so, but when does AI reach the point where it’s so smart, that it’ll have no problem disregarding human’s lives to do what it wants to do?

Within the first two minutes of Sam Harris’ TED Talk on artificial intelligence, I was reminded of many of the episodes in Black Mirror where advanced technology in which we can currently only dream of becomes abused and causes chaos. Technology is constantly becoming more advanced, efficient, and intelligent. Undoubtedly, artificial intelligence will one day become so intelligent, it’ll have the ability to function independently of a human’s control. Without regulation, one day robot’s will start fixing all our economic issues and research questions. Human will be almost or basically useless and free to roam the earth doing whatever, just depending on robot’s to keep the world spinning. And what will stop robots from viewing us as “ants” and not hesitating to take us out if we are in their way? I agree that technology has brought us very far and I do think it should continue advancing whether it is to cure Alzheimers or just make our daily life more convenient, but when does AI become dangerously advanced? How do we decide when AI will threaten the human species? When do we decide to put a stop to it?

Perhaps the most important kind of capital is human capital. For example, most lawyers spend years learning to practice law. Lawyers are willing to make large investments in their human capital because they expect to be compensated for doing so when they begin work. Suppose the government nationalizes the market for legal services, resulting in lower compensation for lawyers. Assume lawyers cannot easily move to other countries.

True or False: The investment in human capital for lawyers is subject to post-investment hold-up.

True

Last year, a toy manufacturer introduced a new toy truck that was a huge success. The company invested $2.50 million in a plastic injection molding machine (which can be sold for $2 million immediately) and $200,000 in plastic injection molds specifically for the toy (not valuable to anyone else). The cost of labor and materials necessary to make each truck runs about $4. This year, a competitor has developed a similar toy, significantly reducing demand for the toy truck. Now, the original manufacturer is deciding whether it should continue production of the toy truck.

If the estimated demand is 100,000 trucks, the break-even price is _______ per truck.
