Technological innovations are unending and have impacted almost all, in every aspect of life over the past few decades. One such technological innovation which is capable of revolutionising the world, the most spoken, discussed and implemented in many fields is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is software which can think intelligently, similar to how an intelligent human thinks. Based on few studies AI is organized into four categories such as, it’s a system that thinks like a human (Haugeland, 1985; Bellman, 1978), think rationally (Charnaik and McDermott, 1985; Winston, 1992), act like a human (Kurzweil, 1990; Rich and Knight, 1991) and act rationally (Schalkoff, 1990; Luger and Stubblefield, 1993). As stated by Bersin (2018) AI is now popping in most of the software’s,and it is integratedinto many of the business functions. One such business function wasthe integration of AI is taking place at a faster pace is Human Resources (HR), concerning various HR functions such as hiring process, onboarding, training to mention a few. Integrating AI in HR does not mean that AI would completely take over the role of HR managersrather this will help the HR’s to focus on more strategic work and less focus on repetitive and low-value add tasks. Hence without a doubt, there is a more nuanced picture of the way in which AI would help to streamline and reshape the HR functions for better efficiency and agility. This paper focuses on qualitative research and aims to explain how AI has been integratedinto different functions of HR and its impact towards the organisations, employees and HRs.

Purpose – This paper aims to highlight the evolving and articulated role of purchasing as a “mediator” between the company’s customers and suppliers, thus showing the opportunities connected to the evolution of purchasing from a business function to a strategic business for companies. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reports on an in-depth analysis to investigate the case of IBM, which turned to the offering of services to transform itself from a pure product manufacturer into an outstanding service provider. Findings – The paper shows that as the company’s business strategy becomes focused on client value, its success is strongly dependent on the development of a customer-driven procurement. The evolution of the role of procurement is accompanied by the growing integration between the company’s procurement and sales functions, as well as by the growing interconnection and interaction between the procurement function and the company’s clients. Originality/value – The paper applies the conceptual approach and theoretical tools connected to servitization and procurement development processes to an innovative case study. The results make possible original suggestions both for literatures and management practices.

Accounting Policy

This case provides an experiential learning opportunity to (a) appreciate the role of professional judgment in accounting policy choices, (b) evaluate the effect of accounting decisions on other business functions, and (c) understand the challenges in transitioning to a new accounting standard. Prestige’s previous auditors were fine with its use of output-based measure (milestones completed) to compute the percentage-of-completion (POC) for its long-term construction contracts. However, the newly appointed auditors recommended Prestige to switch over to input-based measure (costs incurred) to compute POC. Students need to choose the appropriate financial reporting policy considering accounting and non-accounting issues. The case addresses an important context, long-term construction contracts. Although the case setting is in India, it can be used in any country given its GAAP-agnostic nature. The case is best suited for intermediate accounting courses in which the topic of revenue recognition is addressed.

This paper provides a brief overview of the role of interactive multimedia (IM) in corporate training, and will discuss the relevant factors in making wise business decisions regarding the implementation of interactive multimedia within U.S. shipyards. Despite the numerous studies and reports citing the efficiencies of delivering instructions in a multisensory format via a computer, shipyards have been slow to implement this technology into their business practices. The reasons for this are twofold: first, the technology is still viewed as nascent and unproven, and second, the business benefits are not well understood by decision-makers. This paper focuses on understanding the business benefits of implementing interactive multimedia in a shipyard environment. Case studies and success stories are referenced for the purpose of understanding how IM training works within the shipyard The main thrust of discussion is towards how to properly analyze the expected return on investment and strategy for implementation of interactive media within a typical shipyard.

Role Of Information

The success of the tourism industry as part of the service sector depends on the quality in a great extent, therefore qualified and motivated employees are crucial. Tourism is above all a business for the people, and the quality of the relationship between the employees in the tourism enterprise and the tourists is one of the most important components for the overall tourist experience. Education and training are key factors for the sustainable development of tourism by providing the necessary skills at all levels. Global development and mobility opportunities make it possible for tourism development to outstrip staffing levels. There is a mismatch between the existing education, the vocational training, and the real needs of the sector. At the same time, new challenges arise, and they require continuous training for employees in the sector. The main purpose of the scientific report is to investigate the role of information technologies and corporate e-learning in the Bulgarian tourism industry. Based on the bibliographic review, there was a lack of research on corporate e-learning in the field of tourism in Bulgaria as well as insufficient information on the role of information technologies as part of the training process. The study, the results of which will be presented in the report, identifies existing practices on corporate training and the application of information technologies as part of the training process among the respondents - Bulgarian tourism organizations. The study aims to identify the difference between the possibilities of available information technologies and their real application in the process of corporate training and human resource development in Bulgarian tourism.

This study investigates empirically the role of supplemental instruction (SI) as a means of enhancing student performance in the first accounting course. SI is a proactive educational intervention program that targets traditionally “high-risk” courses and employs collaborative learning techniques emphasizing learning strategies and critical-thinking skills. This emphasis on “learning to learn” has been advocated by the Accounting Education Change Commission (AECC) as a goal of the first accounting course. ANCOVA-based results from 1,359 students in nine sessions of Principles of Accounting indicate that SI was effective at increasing academic performance; after controlling for self-selection bias, participation in both voluntary and mandatory SI sessions was found to be positively associated with the total points earned in the course. Additionally, a step pattern is observed in the increased performance for both the voluntary and mandatory attendance phases of the study, indicating that the level of SI attendance may play a role in the benefits obtained. The implications of this analysis for the accounting curriculum are addressed.
