Scenario:
Founded in 1919 in London, Tesco plc is a British‐based international grocery and general merchandising retail chain. With revenues of £60 billion (2009), it is the largest British retailer and with almost 500,000 Employees (2009) and over 4000 stores Tesco is currently the third largest global retailer.

Tesco is extending this logistic practice to cover collection from suppliers and the input to suppliers, in a drive to reduce costs and improve reliability. Tesco’s international expansion strategy has responded to the need to be sensitive to local expectations in other countries by entering into joint ventures with local partners. Tesco operates in the following markets: China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Japan, Malaysia, Poland, Republic of Ireland, Slovakia, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, UK, and USA. The business is dependent on efficient Information Technology (IT) systems.
In your role of a Business Systems Analyst, you are expected to critically evaluate the external and internal factors that influence business systems within an organisational context and demonstrate how they contribute to sustainable organisational performance.

Managing Human Resources in Higher Education: The Implications of a Diversifying Workforce

As a consequence, particularly where the institution is the employer, changes are occurring in the expectations of staff and institutions about employment terms and conditions, as well as the broader aspects of working life, and this is affecting academic and professional identities. Even under different regimes, for instance, in Europe, with the government in effect as the employer, institutions are giving greater attention to ways in which they might respond to these developments. This paper considers key issues and challenges in human resource management in higher education, and some of the implications of these changes.Abstractor:As ProvidedLanguage:EnglishNumber of Pages:23Education Level:Higher EducationPublication Type:Journal Articles; Reports – DescriptiveJournal Code:APR2018Entry Date:2009Accession Number:EJ822708Database:ERIC

Design/Methodology/Approach: To carry out the present study, an empirical research on a random sample of 300 line or human resource managers from nine Indian and foreign global organisations, from New Delhi (the National capital region of India) is carried out. The principal research method employed included the sample and measurements tools, and data analysis concerning the humanresource capabilities for organisational performance and sustainable competitive advantage by using SPSS package 12. Findings: The findings of the study reveal that human resource capabilities are positively correlated to organisational performance. Furthermore, human resource capability was found to be a significant predictor of sustainable competitive advantage. Research Limitations/Implications: More samples from different Indian companies, especially middle and small scale industries, can enrich the current study. Practical Implications: This study contributes to the existing theory about the strategic importance of human capital for organisational performance and sustainable competitive advantage from resource-based view of the firm in the Indian context. Originality/Value: The study will contribute to the understanding of Indian human resource management (HRM) as an imperative for strategic HRM and international human resource management. Business organisations will get an insight into the Indian business scenario and can chalk out their strategic policies and human resource planning with this perspective.Abstractor:AuthorLanguage:EnglishNumber of Pages:12Publication Type:Journal Articles; Reports – ResearchJournal Code:APR2018Entry Date:2005Accession Number:EJ723284Database:ERIC
