Complex Landscape

The organizational workforce has always been a complex landscape. The varying personalities, demographics, and needs have challenged organizations to be legal, fair, and just, while simultaneously competing for market share and profit margins. Although these conditions are not mutually exclusive, due to the global reach for market share and use of supporting technologies, workforces have grown increasingly diverse over the past three decades. Organizations have looked to their Human Resource (HR) division to support business strategy, growth, and development. While a few have stepped up to accommodate, many HR divisions have struggled to support business needs in perhaps the greatest time of flux in modern day business. This is creating a serious issue for most organizations who recognize the competitive way forward is through effective Human Resource Development (HRD). Business success has always been about the people and it will continue to be so. Therefore, organizations struggling to develop their workforce to perform in complex, highly distributed situations will continue to lag (often far behind) the effective workforces of their competitors. This chapter offers best and next practices from HRD leaders accommodating the needs of their businesses.

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the evolution of the concept of human resource analytics (HRA) and propose an operational framework demonstrating the sources generating data for HRA, as well as the impact of HRA on multiple levels in the organization. Design/methodology/approach A review of literature was conducted to present the existing body of knowledge and build upon for the development of an operational framework for successful implementation of HRA as a human resources (HR) process. Findings Building upon the existing literature, this paper presents an operational HRA framework, positioning HRA as an analytical process through integrating advanced statistical methodology. HRA presents a tool to obtain evidence-based analytical results for improving people-related performance, operational effectiveness, and ultimately the impact of the business strategy. By using HR big data, HRA impacts multiple organizational levels, from individual employees to HR functions and the organizational strategy. Practical implications While research on data analytics has recently flourished across various management fields, this has not been the case for the broader field of HR. This is especially a growing concern as the lack of understanding of the basics and fundamentals of people analytics in the field of HR may delay the effective implementation and operationalization of HRA and present additional barriers impacting on-going HR activities, as well as HR’s role as a strategic business partner. HR practice may greatly benefit from gaining an understanding of HRA and the multi-levels of impact it may have on the organization. Originality/value This paper explores various concepts related to HRA by examining terms such as “HR metrics” vs “HR” and “HR big data” vs “big data.” Furthermore, the comprehensive HRA operational framework presented in this paper provides HR professionals and researchers with a better understanding of HRA in the age of data analytics and artificial intelligence.

This study aims at exploring the factors related to the implementation of E-commerce websites by small business owners. While large organizations often consider E-commerce as a fundamental piece of their business strategy, small businesses place varying degrees of importance on E-commerce as a strategic tool to business success. Through a survey of small businesses, this study examines the creation and usage of E-commerce websites for small businesses. For companies with only a web presence, as well as for companies with an E-commerce website, the top two reasons for an E-commerce website identified by respondents of this study are to increase the profits of the company and to increase the market share. The study also found that factors such as lack of management support and costs greater than benefits were not detrimental to the decision to implement an E-commerce solution. Additional factors motivating small businesses to create and use E-commerce websites include the ability to better respond to customer demands and increased profits as a result of having E-commerce websites. This study contributes to the E-commerce literature by highlighting motivations of small business owners as they consider implementing E-commerce solutions.
