PD2 HOMEWORK Question 2.1.5 Myspace

PD2 HOMEWORK Question 2.1.5 Myspace
Due: Monday 18.09.17

Please read case study MYSPACE and answer question (a) and (b).
a) Redundancy - when job ceases to exist, or company cannot afford to employ a worker.
Dismissal - termination of a worker's employment due to incompetence or a breach of contract.

 b) MySpace faces unpredictable times due to a decline in business, therefore future workforce planning can be unpredictable too.  To make the company lighter and adjustable for future scenarios, while retaining its core staff, MySpace can hire part-time employees (with finite contracts) or peripheral services to carry on the non-essential tasks.  Redundancies might be a reality for MySpace in the mid-term, but by having a flexible structure, the company is prepared to deal with them appropriately.

PD2 HOMEWORK Restructuring at Southmead College

PD2 HOMEWORK Restructuring at Southmead College (a) If someone is denoted ( to lower someone or something in rank or position)   to classroom teacher, it means that he/she had previously hold the position of chairperson or head of an area, with administrative tasks. Middle managers at Southmead College are all those individuals who were heads of areas, held a relatively high ranking in the hierarchy structure (depending on how tall or flat the organization was), and had teachers (subordinates) reporting to them. These middle managers were held responsible for the teachers beneath them, and accountable for the whole's area performance. (b) It might have been a good decision if one considers that it cut costs and saved money, with minimal redundancies.
