Human Resources Department

Human Resources Department. In business, the most important asset is people, who form the company's human capital. The personnel policy is one aspect of the company's general policy that is the responsibility of management and aims to secure the necessary staff, as well as the best-qualified personnel, to achieve program objectives. This takes into account factors such as changes in technology and the market (mercado). This department is formed by a group of people organized in the company to achieve the following objectives:

• Identify and train the people who are needed.
• Provide the company with the workers required so they can perform their work (canales de trabajo).
• Define communication between workers.
• Motivate employees

Public Policy Stages and Challenges

Implementation

Implementation involves carrying out the measures taken. This responsibility falls to the central government, regional, and local administrations. Difficult situations often arise during this stage:

• Incomplete Specification of Measures: The government may provide general instructions that public administrations (PAs) must further develop through regulation.
• Conflicting Criteria: For example, a minimum wage law might be based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the payment capacity of enterprises, leading to potential conflicts.

Ex-Post Evaluation

Ex-post evaluation identifies and measures the effects of policy implementation. This includes:

• Analyzing the net effect of programs, such as income maintenance

The Design Phase Methodology

Market Analysis

Parametric Analysis: Determining the product's position relative to competition and price additions.

Matrix Comparison: Comparing the product against competitors regarding specific requirements.

Requirements Definition

Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

QFD establishes the relationship between customer requirements and technical requirements. The steps include:

1. Identifying customer requirements.
2. Identifying technical requirements.
3. Defining the relationship between customer and technical requirements.
4. Establishing identity and relations between technical requirements.
5. Determining the weight of each item.
6. Evaluating the competition based on these factors.

Design Concept Development

1. Identifying design alternatives

Management Theories

Neo-classical Theory

Based on perfect market and information, this theory often ignores the human element and is considered a 'black box' approach.

Transaction Cost Theory

Focuses on factors like **market dynamics**, **pricing**, **company structure**, **coordination**, and **organizational aspects**, highlighting **limits on growth**.

Agency Theory

Examines relationships between **owners**, **workers**, and **regulators**, often involving **conflicts of interest**, **uncertainty**, and **additional costs**.

Ownership Theory

Views the firm as a series of **bilateral contracts**, emphasizing the **visible hand of the company**, the role of a **third party**, and **transparency**.
