Q- What is the best CSR activity that an organisation should undertake?
A. The CSR activities that India needs the most are in the areas of education and health care. Q- How can the production target or increase in the number of employees per shift be met while starting a manufacturing unit?
A. This completely depends on the product one is manufacturing. For example, in case of a car production unit the idea of multiple shifts holds good because multiple skilled labours will be working for one unit. In case of a factory producing shirts, the number of labours can be increased in a single shift. It is more feasible from the management and capital perspective.

Q- I am a BE-CSE MBA-HR candidate. Currently, I work in a company but not in the HR department. How can I get a job in HR?
A. If you have talent you do not need recommendations. In my opinion, you need to get a job in a consultancy where you can experience actual HR practices. This exposure will help you get a job. Be positive and keep looking for job openings at thfdigital.com 
All the best!

Its Chairman Roy Bostock fired CEO Carol Bartz, and that too over phone. It is true that the CEO is responsible for overall performance of an organisation, but the CEO alone has limited influence. The major driving elements behind the actions and outcomes of an organisation are the systems and processes that operate across the organisation.

According to a research by Don Hambrick, Smeal Chaired Professor of Management, and co-author Guoli Chen of INSEAD Business School, the simple act of replacing the CEO of a company undergoing crisis has no effect on its performance. The probability that the replacement strategy will work and be productive depends on the actual characteristics of the incumbent and whether the new person has the qualities now needed. Read more...
