HRM3410 – Training & Developing Human Resources

Training Plan Project Instructions – Part III

Project Overview:

Through the completion of a three-part Training Plan Project, you will walk through the process of creating a training plan that an organization can use to train its workforce. First, you will interpret the strategic issues of human resource planning that shape and guide an organization’s human resource (HR) management program, to help the organization reach its goals. You will also discuss the process of constructing a needs assessment that includes all person, tasks, and organizational elements. Next, you will identify various learning styles theories and their impact on transfer of training. You will also explore various training tools and methods and determine the use of appropriate training tools and methods for the specific training outcomes. Finally, you will identify outcomes used to evaluate a training program and determine how you will specifically evaluate the outcome of the training. Throughout, you will ensure that all training in in compliance with EOE.

Part II:  Training Evaluation

In Part I of this project, you identified the training needs and established the objectives for training. In Part II, you determined the design of the training programs and the methods you will use to deliver the training. Now, in Part III, you will design a process for training evaluation.

Due to the costly and time-consuming nature of training, proper evaluation is essential. Evaluation also provides metrics for continuous improvement.

  • (300-400 words) Levels of evaluation – reaction, learning, behaviors, and results.
    • Review each of the four methods at which training can be evaluated and
    • Provide your recommendations for implementation based on your organization, the training program planned, and workforce needs.
  • (300-400 words) Training evaluation metrics – training is costly and the ability to clearly measure and report results can help to elevate the HR function to a higher level within the organization as a true business partner.
    • Cost-benefit analysis – determine the estimated training costs, identify potential savings results, calculate potential savings, and conduct costs and savings benefits comparison.
    • Return-on-investment (ROI) – walk through the steps of calculating the ROI for the training programs you have recommended and determine if there is likely a benefit to implementation.
  • (300-400 words) Training evaluation designs – there are three basic methods to design training evaluation: post-measure, pre-/post measure, and pre-/post measure with a control group.
    • Discuss the pros and cons of each method.
    • Determine and justify which evaluation design you will deploy for your organization.

Format:

Each section of the Training Plan Project should be prepared in APA format including a title page, section headers, in-text citations, and a reference page. A minimum of three professional and reputable sources are required for this section of the project.

Part III of this project will be 3-4 pages of body (900-1200 words) plus title page and reference page.

The impact/effect of electric vehicles on automotive industry.

  Does electric vehicles have an impact on the automotive industry?

Will it cause changes to the automotive industries ecosystem?  Which includes manufacturers, end customers and government regulations.

Electric vehicles                                 Automotive industry

 

  

 
  Why is this question important? (i.e. the motivation of the study)

 

· Why is the question interesting?

 

· From whose perspective are you undertaking this study?

 

· Who will benefit from this research and why?

 

· Provide evidence (citing papers or showing data) to your claims.

 It is interesting because the topic revolves around a recent scenario of emergence of electric cars and how it will change

the world around us in the coming future and to research the depths of the situation to get more knowledge about the future

of the automotive industry which as a result makes it more motivating to study.

Germany will stop the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, Scotland from 2032,

and France and the UK from 2040.

 

The business perspective of the already existing automotive companies, who have been in the market from centuries,

And are the market leaders of gasoline production cars.

 

Business, public and the government will benefit from this study as the shift to electric was once considered far off and

unlikely for many people, the rising concern for climate change and sustainability has helped sway public opinion towards

the need for transportation based on alternative energy. As more people invest in electric vehicles, the automotive industry

is bound to experience some serious changes.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/03/the-dirty-secret-of-electric-vehicles/

 

 
  What is the underlying theory?

Describe the underlying theory/ies that is directly related to your research question, i.e., why X causes Y and through what channels the causality takes place. In other words, what is the economic explanation which says that if we change X that would change Y. Cite few high quality papers that discuss these theories (seminal and the most recent ones).

 Underlying theory here is that how the conventional auto industries that are manufacturing fossil fuel burning vehicles

are affected by the electric cars.

Already existing literature suggests that the electric car production is negatively affecting the conventional industries as

the time is passing by and till 2025 there will be a heavy shift as the production of electric cars will increase from 1 million

today to around 25 million.
  What is (are) your specific hypothesis (hypotheses)?

Here please state each of the specific hypothesis that you want to statistically test. Each hypothesis should be very precise and clearly predict the direction of relation between the key variables (concepts) of interest.

Example:

H1: Ceteris paribus, better disclosure standards leads to higher firm valuation.

Note: Here it clearly states that if we keep everything else constant (Ceteris paribus) there is a positive relation between the conceptsdisclosure standards and firm valuation. Thus, in the following equation if is firm valuation and  is disclosure standard then we should expect β1 to be positive in sign and statistically significant.

You can have more than one hypothesis.

 

 H1: Ceteris paribus, better decision-making leads to higher firm valuation.

 

Y it=∝ +β_1 X_1t+〖β_2 X〗_2t+〖β_3 C〗_1t+⋯+〖β_n C〗_nt+ γ_t+δ_i+ϵ_it

 

 

H1: Electric vehicles will impact the sales of conventional automotive industry negatively

H0: Electric vehicles will not impact the sales of conventional automotive industry negatively
What is your specific contribution that is not there in the literature?

 

· Which area of literature is your study contributing [cite few high quality (4*) papers (see the web link below) related to this area of literature].

 

· Cite high quality (4*) papers that are closely related to what you are proposing and state how your study is going to be different from them.

· Explain what new we will learn from your study that we do not know from existing literature.

Note: This is the most important part of your proposal. Your contribution needs to be considered significant and material enough. The ‘contribution’ is considered ‘meaningful and significant’ if you can convincingly achieve any one or more of the following:

· It addresses a real world problem

· It significantly impacts knowledge in which you generate a novel question that is interesting and material enough to be investigated.

· It fills a significant gap (lack of understanding) in the literature

· Generates and advances theory

· Produces salient novel and unexpected results

· Addresses a hard-to-solve research issue

· Introduces new procedures/models

Following cannot be considered significant contribution:

If it merely reconfirms a theory/conjecture/question using different dataset or conducting the tests in a different context (jurisdictions/economic periods etc.) unless you can convince that the dataset and/or context is very unique and the investigation is producing (or expected to produce) something different or unexpected result than we already know.

Journal rating list:https://charteredabs.org/academic-journal-guide-2018/

 The topic I have chosen addresses an upcoming real-world scenario and revolves around a concept that is very new.

with the help of relevant theories, I will compare the financial impact of electric vehicles on the automotive industry.

With the help of primary research and literature this topic could also fill in the lack of understanding of the topic

as the scenario is quite recent and in-depth research could further clarify certain problems that could be

relevant to the future.

 

The sector could either be affected in a positive way or it could possibly it could heavily impact the economy

which could result in a potential downfall for the sector. Machinery, expertise could be quite expensive for the

financial aspect of the business as it is quite niche.

 

 

 

We add to the ongoing debate of whether Eco motor cars deters or encourages the financial sector to do better

after being legalised.

 

 

 
  Show the general regression equation with your dependent variable, key independent variable/s and the control variables.

 

Example model:

Is the dependent variable for ith firm and t year

Are independent variables of interest (you can have one, two or more).

Are control variables

Is the time fixed effect,   is the unit (firms) fixed effects and  is the error term

  

 
  What data do you propose to use to test your hypothesis?

 

· Specifically define each of your variables and describe your data.

· Complete the variable description table below.

 Global data plc
  What method/s will you apply to test your hypothesis?

Explain why this method is ideal for empirical estimation of your econometric model.

What are the advantages of this method over others?

Is this method most recent and sophisticated enough to address the concern of various forms of endogeneity? Particularly, how does it deal with:

·  Omitted variable bias and alternative explanations

·  Reverse causality

·  Sample selection bias

Read the following paper to understand the concept of these issues:

https://ecgi.global/sites/default/files/working_papers/documents/SSRN-id1718555.pdf

Provide evidence (citing papers or showing data) to your claims.

 

  

Difference-in-Differences (DiD) is shock based method whereby credible causality could be established using the shock
as exogenous event/shockthat triggers changes in the independent variable.
In this study, we use DiD approach to determine the effect of electric vehicles on the financial sector of the

automotive industry and its financial activities.

ADDICTIONS CASE STUDY INSTRUCTIONS – PART 2

The Addictions Case Study assignment is designed to help you make application of course content to a potential counseling situation. The assignment is divided up into three parts: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization; Part 2 – Diagnostic Impressions; and Part 3 – Treatment Plan.

For Part 2 – Diagnostic Impressions, again using the “EDCO 740 Addictions Case Study

Narrative,” you will write a short paper in current APA format (about a 5-to-7 page summary, not including the title and references page) taking what you wrote in Part 1 and from the narrative, then documenting your diagnostic impressions of the client. For this assignment, you are only required to use one source: the DSM-5 (however, you can add more if desired).

In your write-up, using the DSM-5, you will need to answer (each bullet is about a paragraph – review the rubric below for more detail):

  • What is the primary diagnosis for this client? Put your full diagnosis in bold and list the criteria the client meets from the DSM with supporting statements from Marci’s narrative.
  • What is the prevalence rate, any culture and/or gender-related diagnostic issues, functional consequences, and comorbidity for this particular diagnosis?
  • What are the differential diagnoses to be aware of for this client (choose only one/those that THIS client could be dealing with, not all that the DSM may show)?
  • What are any secondary and tertiary diagnoses for this client? Put your full diagnosis in bold and list the criteria the client meets from the DSM with supporting statements from Marci’s
  • What is the prevalence rate, any culture and/or gender-related diagnostic issues, functional consequences, and comorbidity for this particular diagnosis?
  • What are the differential diagnoses to be aware of for this client (choose only one/those that THIS client could be dealing with, not all that the DSM may show)?

Note that each diagnosis you give needs to have the ICD-10 F-code (without the parentheses), the

name of the diagnosis, the severity, and any appropriate specifiers.

Divide your paper as follows (showing each heading below as level 1 and level 2, starting on p. 2 – no abstract is needed):

Listing of Criteria Met

Primary Diagnostic Impression

Prevalence, Culture/Gender Issues, Functional Consequences, Comorbidity Possible Differential Diagnoses

Secondary Diagnostic Impression(s) Listing of Criteria Met (Secondary Diagnosis 1)

Prevalence, Culture/Gender Issues, Functional Consequences, Comorbidity Possible Differential Diagnoses

Listing of Criteria Met (Secondary Diagnosis 2)

Final Project
Overview
You are required at the end of the course to submit a final project in the form of a paper in which you assume the role of an investment manager investing for your clients’ funds in stock and foreign currencies, futures, options, oil, gold, silver, and other commodities based on profit sharing. For this final
research project, you are required to research the foreign currencies and select two foreign currencies as soon as possible after initial consultations with your mentor regarding what directions to pursue. You may use Yahoo Finance at http://finance.yahoo.com to find stocks or foreign currencies. Or you can use Bloomberg at (http://bloomberg.com/markets/currencies) for finding the major world currencies or news about the stocks, currencies, and economies.
Guidelines
You are required to research the foreign currencies and select two foreign currencies to invest in for the account of one of your clients who has given you $20,000.
Use $20,000 of your client’s account in the two foreign currencies which you have selected to invest in based on a margin of 2% which gives you a high leverage (50 to 1), meaning you can invest up to $1,000,000 or 50 times of your client’s balance either in currency spot market or currency futures. To keep things simple, use the currency spot market and you are recommended to choose two hard currencies such as the Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, or Swiss Franc. The following are some more requirements for research project:
1. You may take a long or short position in each foreign currency or long position in one or short position on the other.

2. Justify your investment decisions based on a trend (uptrend or downtrend) analysis.

3. Justify your investment positions based on the relative inflation rate between two nations. For example, if the inflation rate is higher in the United States relative to the Euro Zone, all else equal, the Dollar would depreciate against the Euro.

4. Justify your investment positions based on the expected relative inflation rate between two nations. For example, if the inflation rate is expected to be higher in the United States relative to the Britain, all else equal, the Dollar would depreciate against the British Pound.

5. Justify your investment position based on the relative interest rate between two nations. For instance, if the Australian banks pay higher interest rate than the U.S. banks, investors or speculators would move their funds, all else equal or all other variables stay the same, to Australia to take advantage of the higher interest rate.

6. Similarly, you may justify your investment decisions based on expected interest rate between the
Copyright © 2016 by Thomas Edison State University. All rights reserved.
two nations. For example, when Investors expect higher interest rate in Canada, they would  invest in Canadian denominated assets that, in turn, would cause the Canadian Dollar to  appreciate, all other variables held fixed, .
7. You may justify your investment decisions based on some other macroeconomic or fundamental
analysis such as the unemployment rate, Gross Domestic Products, Trade Balance, and Capital
Flows that you have learned from the textbook or some other outside materials.
8. Select the two currencies in your portfolio which have negative correlations or a weak correlation  for the reduction of risk and risk management purpose.
9. Calculate your return for each investment and overall return.
10. Prepare your findings in an 8-page research report paper based on the APA format.
You will produce your final project in four different stages as part of your course work:
Stage 1
By the end of Module 1 you will inform your mentor which foreign currencies you are thinking of researching. Your mentor will help you with feedback regarding your choices and how to proceed with your research.
Stage 2
During Module 2 you will organize the information you have gathered into an interim report that you will share with your classmates and mentor during a synchronous event. Your mentor will coordinate arrangements for sharing your report and taking part in the discussion.
Stage 3
After participating in the Module 2 synchronous discussion forum and reflecting on any suggestions, advice, observations, etc., made by your classmates and mentor, you will decide on which foreign currencies you would like to invest (choose two hard currencies). You will update your interim report to include this choice and a brief explanation regarding why you have selected these particular foreign currencies. You will submit the updated interim report to your mentor for grading at the end of Module 3. During Module 3 you will also participate in a second synchronous event during which you will have the opportunity to discuss your final project further.
Stage 4
By the end of Module 4 you will complete and submit your final project paper.
If you have questions about the requirements of the final project, be sure to discuss them with your mentor well in advance of the final submission. Consult the Course Calendar for the due dale.
