CONCLUSION

After I finish doing my reflective, my understanding more increase and I also learn how to make a blog.  It’s very interesting in this subject.  We not only teach the theory, but we also practical it. 

For the first topic about HRIS Systems and Systems Architecture, it shows that every organization have their own model either standalone system, data warehouse model, single integrated system model and that are suit and match with the organization.

Second topic is about Information and Competitive Advantage.  This show that, we must always update with the changes and always think competitive in the positive way.  The goal that we target, that’s important.  Therefore, always improve it and become the learning process.

Lastly is human resource recruiting and staffing.  Nowadays, many ways to recruiting and staffing human resource.  Therefore, we must know how to choose and make it effective in run process. 

HRIS help many things and it make the operation become smoothly and efficiencies. I learn many things in this subject and I really like it.

TOPIC 3

HUMAN RESOURCE RECRUITING AND STAFFING

Hye everyone.. For me, this topic today, my favorites topic that is human resource recruiting and staffing.  This proses always happen in everywhere, but not every day in each organization. 

Recruitment is the searching and attracting of competence candidates to fill the position advertised (Rajkumar, 2004).  Its mean, this process what strategy that we want to attract the attention from others who find the job.  Nowadays, like DR Roya explain in the class, online recruitment are use for candidate to apply job and for employer who find the workers we see the online collection that utilized by organization to obtain information on the applicant to facilitate the process of selection. 

From my understanding in class, I can see that nowadays by using the traditional method, will waste the time, cost, paper and so on.  So, with this method, everything run smoothly and we can save the cost and the process more efficient also faster.  Other than that, when other group make the presentation in this topic, it open mine mind how easier technology nowadays, just use your fingers only.  Other than that, I also want to share the tips on recruiting respondents online.  First, through purchased lists, email recruitment, via hand phone, online server and so on.  Other than that, always keep in mind the criteria and the preferred demographic mix needed for the accurate interpretation of results.  

Staffing means the appointment of competent person to fill up the post in the organization (Singla, 2010).  There are chosen from the many people that are go to the next step.   There have some technique in staffing.  The adjustment and human resource itself have to forecast needs and make staffing adjustment.  This will help keep the business running smoothly despite a changing environment. 

In my view, technology can help many in this process staffing.  The traditional technique must change with the updated now.  It more efficiency, fast and professional.  Therefore, we must always adapt and try this way.

In conclusion, I really want to more explore, to see the updated now, for preparation in changing. I also very appreatiate that many new learn that I learn in class.

TOPIC 2

INFORMATION AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Today, I want to write the review toward my reflective.  Our topic today is information and competitive advantage.  As Howard et al, (1999) believed if ISs design and strategy development are addressed simultaneously, Strategic competitive advantage can be gained (Howard et al, 1999). Porter’s model identifies the forces that influence competitive advantage in the marketplace.  

Let’s I explain about the model.  for substitute product and services means when our prices too high, substitute customers can purchase for example Internet music service.  Next is customers, how to attract  and retain the customers to stay our product. Thirdly is suppliers.  If the organization have more supplier, so the great control can exercise over the suppliers. Lastly is new entrants.  It shows new competitors entering the market.  The increase the new entrant, the increase consumer demand.

Now let’s see the role of information technology.  It the class, Dr said there have three role that is can substantially increase process efficiencies, improve communication and facilitates collaboration.

From my view, the role of technology very helping in our nowadays.  Rather than it very fast and effective, we can communicate fast although far or near.  Other than that, it also reflect the efficiencies of our business operation.

There have five competitive strategy:-

1)      Cost leadership: it help the supplier or customers to reduce cost, so that we can increase cost to the competitors.  But, the competitors will be more challenges.

2)      Differentiation strategy.: when we make the differentiation in firm’s product, so we already make a creativity in business.

3)      Innovation strategy: the company must always the product to make sure the product up to date with nowadays changes.

4)      Growth strategy: it  means, we always expend our market in term to increase market more big.

5)      Alliance strategy: it means we establish linkage and alliance with customers, supply, competitors, consultant and so on.  so, the strategy also include the mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, virtual companies and so on.

From my view, every day, we will faced new challenge, new competitors.  So, we must think forward and try to estimate the future chance to improve our self  by  others competitors.  It give our experience n to plan the strategic ways.

In addition from the class with Dr Roya, I more understand that Information And Competitive Advantage are related each other.  Other than that, the goals organization must achievable n it will reflect the efficiency, effectiveness and productivity.  And, how to know it efficiencies?? So, we can measure based output divided by input.  And, the feedback very important to see the changes to input, so next result will produce the best output.

Topic 1:

 HRIS Systems and Systems Architecture

Hello, today I want to share my experience in doing group assignment title HRIS Systems and Systems Architecture.  We been given 1 week to prepare it and present it in class.  We get the assignment at 1/10/2012 that in week 4 and present at 8/10/2012 in week 5.

Seriously, when I read the question, I cannot get any idea.  Then after searching between the group members, it gives the simple understanding from me to all of you.  The 3 types of HRIS system architecture is STANDALONE SYSTEM, DATA WAREHOUSE MODEL AND SINGLE INTEGRATED SYSTEM.

For Standalone System, it cannot be standardized.  Usually, it used by large organization.  This is because this organization well gathers in multinational data.  In addition, every branch must provide the data to the global data warehouse.  For the business, each business unit can update via fax, telephone and so on.  it also  make difficulties for each unit to data analysis.  From my view, because this system an independent system to communicate, it very hard to work n connect.   

Next, let’s see the Data Warehouse Model.  It also known as DW or DWH.  In this model, the benefits of this model is maintain data history, even if the source transaction systems do not.  Other than that, it provide a single common data model for all data interest.  So that, it can save cost and  sharing each other.  Normally, the data stored in the warehouse are uploaded from operational system such as marketing, sales and so on.  When we talk in term of international, this model is suitable because it match.  And the analysis that we use are also same.  Therefore, it easy to analyse.

The third is Single Integrated System Model.  This definition of an Integrated System is  identifies characteristics arranged in the broad categories of  Data Issues, Application Issues, Presentation Issues, and Operational Issues.  Normally, it located as the corporate headquarters.  In addition, this model more advance because it can sharing information. This model is more advances compare the others model. 

From that explanation, what can I says, if we want to related with transnational, the model are Single Integrated system model, while we talk the international, the model that suitable are data warehouse model.  In addition every organization have their own difference between their model that there are use to run the business.  The organization must choose the best and the most requirement that organization needed.  Sometimes, I confused to differentiate it more clearly.  But, I must take an initiative to further more explore and understand in this topic.

INTRODUCTION

What is HRIS? First time I entering the class, I not really understand about this subject.  I just can imagine it a related to the technology because have term ‘system’ in this subject.  Then, I try find in book, (Michael J. Kavanagh, 2011) said HRIS is sometimes referred to as human resource management systems (HRMS).  Human resource management (HRM) can be defined as the effective selection and utilization of employees to best achieve the goals and strategies of an organization, as well as the goals and needs of employees. 

I become more understand with more explanation from Dr Roya about it.  In addition, Dr give an example about this relationship.  Other than that, HRIS is a systematic procedure for collecting, storing, maintaining and so on.  This data that we needed by the organization about its human resource (Dessler, 2001).  From that it give me more idea about this subject.  What I can say, many company already use this HRIS in efficiency their organization.  This subject also open my mind with day to day the changes system very faster and good.

My reflective, I learn many new things from this subject in lecturer, in presentation, in case study and so on. For example, when we use this system in recruiting workers, it help we choose the best candidates  and the costing are lower.  Its good in our reality now, to reduce cost but increase effectiveness.  Other than that in apply job, from presentation Lam’s group, many online recruitment can we use.  We must always explore and learn it.  It just depend  on your self.  Therefore, it are one requirement to every organization.  If I are employer, I not afraid to invest more in this system.
