  All Systems Go: How to Launch a Successful Job Search

  All Systems Go: How to Launch a Successful Job Search

  The impact of Chinese government censorship on US based companies entering the China market is a critical external environmental factor that can affect the success of the venture. Companies in the United States understand how to manage and operate a business in a free enterprise system. However

  that knowledge has not prepared them for the reality of doing business in China. Companies such as Google have learned that government censorship can significantly limit the ability to compete in the China market. The restrictions that the Chinese government can impose represent significant barriers for companies accustomed to free trade. Foreign companies have two choices when it comes to Chinese censorship

  to comply or leave.

  The supply side of labor: HR must be ready to steer organizations to the future

  The downturn in the U.S. economy and rising unemployment have not slowed the talent wars. Instead

One way is to review what works for the competition and determine how a particular recipe for success can be replicated or adapted by private- and even public-sector organizations. This article reviews the essential elements of General Electric’s effective talent-management process and compares them with those of a federal government agency. The purpose of this exercise is to highlight the key factors of success and determine how they can be transferred to obtain successful outcomes in other organizations.
