Inledning: När företag genomgår rekryteringsprocesser så finns där flera olika strategier att använda sig utav. Denna studie kommer att skapa en förståelse för rekryteringsstrategierna som ett specifikt företag som uppger sig jobba enligt Talent Management använder sig av. Syfte: Syftet med denna undersökning är att skapa en förståelse för hur ett företag som uppger sig jobba med Talent Management utformar sin rekryteringsstrategi och därigenom kunna uppfylla ett kunskapstomrum angående rekryteringsstrategierna inom forskningsområdet Talent Management. Forskningsfrågor: Hur definieras talang vid rekrytering i ett företag som jobbar med Talent Management? Hur väljer företag vilka rekryteringsstrategier som är lämpliga? Vilka rekryteringsstrategier använder sig företaget utav? Metod: Denna studie har genomförts med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod som har innefattat semistrukturerade intervjuer för materialinsamlingen. Intervjuerna och det empiriska materialet är insamlat från ett ledande företag inom sin branchen. Slutsats: Denna studie kunde påvisa att de centrala rekryteringsstrategierna i ett företag som uppger sig använda sig utav Talent Management är Head Hunting, Employer Branding, profilering samt talangpooler. Vi kunde även dra slutsatser att samtliga rekryteringsstrategier som förekommer inom ett företag inte nödvändigtvis behöver tillhöra den rådande uttalade managementstilen. Vi har även kunnat påvisa att flera faktorer spelar in i valen av rekryteringsstrategier hos ett företag och att de teorier som går att finna på ämnet Talent Management inte nödvändigtvis behöver vara de strategier som ett företag bäst använder sig utav. / Background: When companies go through the recruitment process there are a lot of different strategies to choose from.

Whilst the topic of leadership has been widely studied it remains little understood, particularly at the first-level line of leadership, especially as it relates to developing countries such as Kuwait. This study critically analyses and presents the needs, skills and capabilities of frontline leaders working in the Kuwait’s Oil and Gas Sector companies. It also examines how such needs and competencies can be developed so as to make these leaders more effective in leading functional units (teams) and to improve organisational performance overall. The study produces a frontline leadership needs and skills development framework that contributes to a better understanding of leadership in a Middle Eastern country (Kuwait), taking into account important contextual factors that influence leadership. Influenced by a social constructivist philosophy and based on qualitative evidence gathered from 42 Team Leaders, the essential leadership needs neglected by previous literature (and possibly lacking in Kuwait) were: business knowledge, technical skills, leadership and managerial skills, communication skills, decision-making skills and change management skills. These leadership needs reflected what the third line leaders understood and personally believed to be essential leadership dimensions for them to be effective and to competently undertake their work. These leadership needs constituted the foundation for their present and future leadership development in order to enhance their leadership capabilities. However, no single methodology was identified as a ‘one size fits all’ solution to meeting the development needs of the Team Leaders. Nevertheless, on the job-training was considered to be the most effective approach to develop these skills and capabilities. It is recommended that top management, and in particular human resources departments within the Oil and Gas Sector companies should continuously identify the needs of third-line leaders and focus on developing skills and competencies considered to be lacking and the most important by these frontline leaders, rather than offering a raft of seemingly unconnected development activities.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Adriana Costa Barbosa.pdf: 2051205 bytes, checksum: ce292ba244f345a62b3c1d80052dd6cb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-17 / In the last few years, the growing socio-environmental problems and the consequent liability of the social players when confronting such problems have led companies, including financial institutions to drive towards replacement of their business strategies in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. Following this drive, BEP (fictitious name), a public financial institution, has launched the program of Regional Sustainable Development (RSD), with the promise of promoting sustainable development in regions in which it operates. To turn the program possible, the institution recognizes the need to train corporate agents for the preparation to the referred challenge. In view of the background, this study aims to understand how does the process of competencies development of corporate players for the implementation of RSD projects. The need of this study is justified for the advancement of discussions on competencies within the sphere of a political and societal perspective, once the RSD build up is leveraged by means of participatory processes and requires the performance of social players, as well as of socially responsible professionals. Therefore, it is to approach the competencies in an unexplored scope, which concerns mainly with the ability of the professionals to overcome the limits of the organization and to identify how they can contribute for the development of the regions and their communities, as well as how they can extend the meaning of work in addition to the issues on value creation within the organization's activities. To meet the proposed objectives, a qualitative case study has been conducted. The data analyze employed the interpretative textual analyze process, proposed by Gil Flores (1994). The results of the survey show that by designing an educational project with the blending of formal actions (internal certification program both in social and environmental responsibility and RSD, that is, classroom courses on RSD and MBA in RSD) and informal ones (work experience either in poor communities, in familial groups, in work groups and in discussion forums), BEP has enhanced the competencies development, since the formal actions have brought in knowledge that guide the managers´ actions and the informal actions have helped carry out in accordance with the local needs of the communities. To advance in their initiative developmental competencies, the organization needs to invest in ongoing training of managers in order to improve communication with partners and the market, besides taking in account the transition of the bank managements through the establishment of a ritual transition so that the managers´ competences becomes an organizational competence. The managers, in addition, begin revising their traditional skills and expanding the meaning of work beyond the quantitative indicators, such as the profit maximization for its shareholders, similarly to evaluating their work under the qualitative perspective, so as to contribute to social, educational and professional development of the communities. This is the new manager, who goes beyond the boundaries of the organization and in the field to looks at its surroundings in search for business opportunities that involve a new development strategy sustained in the development of the regions and their communities within a sustainable way. Likewise, this is a manager who has to approach areas of distinct knowledge from his/her original background and to get to know business areas that previously had not been part of his/her expertise, as well as legal and labor relations and production processes of the related areas. / Nos últimos anos, os crescentes problemas socioambientais e a conseqüente responsabilização dos atores sociais a enfrentarem estes problemas têm feito com que as empresas, entre elas as instituições financeiras, caminhem no sentido de reposicionar suas estratégias empresariais de acordo com os princípios do desenvolvimento sustentável. Seguindo neste caminho, o BEP (nome fictício), uma instituição financeira pública, lançou o programa de Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável (DRS), com a promessa de impulsionar o desenvolvimento sustentável nas regiões onde está presente. Para a viabilização deste programa, a instituição reconhece a necessidade de formar agentes corporativos preparados para assumir este desafio. Frente a este cenário, o presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender como ocorre o processo de desenvolvimento de competências de atores corporativos para implementação de projetos de DRS. Justifica-se a necessidade deste estudo para o avanço de discussões sobre competências numa perspectiva político-societal, uma vez que a construção do DRS é alavancada por meio de processos participativos e exige a articulação de atores sociais, bem como uma atuação socialmente responsável por parte dos profissionais. Trata-se, portanto, de abordar as competências em uma dimensão pouco explorada, que se preocupa, sobretudo, com a capacidade de os profissionais extrapolarem os limites da organização e identificarem de que maneira podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento das regiões e das respectivas comunidades, ampliando o sentido do trabalho para além de questões de geração de valor para as atividades da organização. Para responder aos objetivos propostos, foi conduzido um estudo de caso qualitativo. Já a análise de dados empregou o processo de análise textual interpretativa, proposta por Gil Flores (1994). Os resultados desta pesquisa sinalizam que ao desenhar um projeto educativo mesclando ações formais (programa de certificação interna em responsabilidade socioambiental e DRS, curso presencial sobre DRS e MBA Executivo em DRS) e informais (experiências de trabalho junto a comunidades carentes, vivências com grupos de produtores familiares, grupos de trabalho e fóruns de discussão), a BEP potencializou o desenvolvimento de competências, uma vez que as ações formais contribuíram com conhecimentos para guiar a atuação dos gestores e as ações informais auxiliaram no agir de acordo com as necessidades locais das comunidades. Para avançar em suas iniciativas de desenvolvimento de competências, a organização precisa investir na formação continuada dos gestores, a fim de melhorar a comunicação com os parceiros e com o mercado, além de atentar para o processo de transição de gerências bancárias, estabelecendo um ritual de transição para que a competência dos gestores torne-se uma competência organizacional. Os gestores também já começam a rever suas capacidades tradicionais, ampliando o sentido do trabalho para além de indicadores quantitativos, como a maximização de lucro para acionistas, mas avaliando seu trabalho também sob a ótica qualitativa, de forma a contribuírem para o desenvolvimento social, educacional e profissional das comunidades. É um novo gestor, que ultrapassa as fronteiras da organização, vai a campo e olha o seu entorno, descobrindo oportunidades de negócio que permeiam uma nova lógica de desenvolvimento, ancorada no desenvolvimento das regiões e de suas respectivas comunidades, de forma sustentável. É um gestor que também tem de transitar por áreas de conhecimento distintas de sua formação original, conhecendo áreas de negócios que até então não faziam parte de sua expertise, bem como as relações legais, trabalhistas e modo de produção nestas áreas.

The thesis deals with the development of key competences through Scout training. It focuses on the transformation of educational program in the Junák - Association of Scouts and Guides of the Czech Republic. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The first part describes the history, the mission and ideals of Scouting. It deals with the development of Scouting in Czechoslovakia (or the Czech Republic) after 1990 and also explains how Junák is perceived by the public. It was found out by studies that were done in 2003. This thesis compares the historical and current educative documents that are used to support the development of children and young people's personalities. The thesis describes the initial impulses that led to the program's modification. Also the system of competences, which is essential for the new program, is developed in the thesis. The practical part contains instructions and suggestions for effective development of skills and deals with the further education for scout leaders. The work is accompanied by attachments that contain examples of previous and modern materials and a table summarizing the development of competences.

This diploma thesis deals with the topic of time management as one of the managerial competencies needed to successfully perform managerial work. The diploma thesis shows a theoretical point of this theme, its application in practice and empirici research. The main aim of diploma thesis is to show to managers the possibilities of such self- assessment may be carried out in the field of time management, discover their strengths and weaknesses in this area and find potential opportunities for development. To develop the empirical part of diploma thesis I chose technique of management shadowing, method of 360degree feedback and Competency Based Interview. Into the research I have included three manager women of non-profit and profit organizations. The research resulted serious and less serious individual shortcomings in the theme of in time management. The most serious shortcomings may include reluctance to delegate tasks, which is due to a lack of confidence in the ability of colleagues and subordinates managers, and inability to reject the request due to a sense of guilt against the applicant. The empirical part revealed to the manageress their weakest point in time management and the potential development in this area. Manageress also tried the techniques that can diagnose their current level of...

The teaching project HIS (Holistic International STEMs – Learning with case studies and real life industry experiences) is presented as part of the poster session. Experience shows that German (outgoing) and international (incoming) students have difficulties to communicate properly at the workplace in Germany as well as abroad due to language differences, especially in STEM terms. In addition, young professionals often do not have experience in working in international or virtual teams. All those challenges are current job requirements, not just in global companies. But: How to teach this in higher education? The classical formats of lectures or seminars are not suitable. Therefore, there is a need to develop and prove new teaching formats, within the curriculum as well as extracurricular. With focus on STEM subjects the presented project combines three current impacts on higher education: Internationalization, digitalization, and labor market orientation. The concept of the project is that STEM students from different countries will attend an international, virtual summer school (April to June 2016). They solve real-life job case studies together in small interdisciplinary teams. The participants are mentored by national and international industry partners and STEM professors. With such, the participants will improve language and communication skills, and apply and exchange their expertise as well as gain intercultural work experience. The concept was awarded by the “Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft” (Donors association for the promotion of humanities and sciences in Germany). The poster introduces the project and exemplary the three-dimensional assignments of one case study (occupational, lingual, and intercultural). At present, the project should be handled as a “project in progress”.
