Case Study - Steve Jobs (and Steve Wozniak). Steve Jobs (and his friend Steve Wozniak) were self-taught engineers who created one of the most popular, iconoclastic, technology brands, "Apple", in a family garage. Jobs was not the first person to have an idea to create a user-friendly computer, and he was not the first person to come up with an idea about music players or smartphones, but he was the first person to implement them. Jobs spotted potential in ideas and then implemented them in ways that no one had ever dreamed of before. Apple products, whether they be a computer, laptop, iPod, iPhone, iTunes, or otherwise, are featured everywhere. The technological entrepreneurial efforts of Jobs and Wozniak were a stroke of pure genius. Together they revolutionized the way we view technology and the way we communicate with others. Not only are Apple products high quality technological items, but the company also has superior branding and a strong company image making them one of the most popular and easily recognizable brands in the world. A. Explain with examples five (5) skills requirement the entrepreneurs had before pursuing their entrepreneurial journey.

Scenario : Ethical Dilemma In 2006, Hewlett-Packard Development Company LP became embroiled in a controversy over methods used toinvestigate media leaks from its board. HP Chairperson Patricia Dunn could have simply asked the directors who was the source cited in the story, sought an apology and gone from there. With some direct face-to-face communication, the story would likely have ended quickly. It did not. “Not only did investigators impersonate board members, employees and journalists to obtain their phone records, but according to multiple reports, they also surveilled an HP director and a reporter for CNet Networks Inc. They sent monitoring spyware in an e-mail to that reporter by concocting a phoney tip. They even snooped on the phone records of former CEO and Chairperson Carly Fiorina, who had launched the quest to identify media sources in the first place.”The situation continued to escalate. For example, the New York Times reported that HP consultants even considered…

Gray Electric is a company with a long tradition of innovation. In 1973, they invented the world's first cellular phone and spent many years trying to understand how this new technology would impact their existing business. Gray Electric was in a position to become the first company in the world to develop and market a cell phone, but the upper management of Gray Electric had become complacent with making corded phones and could not imagine a world without landline phones. Because they had been the industry leader for decades and had faced very little competition along the way, the culture of Gray Electric had become rule-oriented and placed a high value on stability. Upper management decided that producing cell phones would only hurt their landline phone sales and quickly abandoned their cell phone endeavour. In 1987, they realized what a bad mistake they had made. Sales of their landline phones were decreasing drastically every year, and Gray Electric was losing money and cutting…

“… In a survey conducted in 2019 by McKinsey, 60% of executives interviewed expected half of their employees to be retrained or upskilled in the next five years. A Gallup study shows that organizations that have made a strategic investment in employee development report 11% greater profitability and are twice as likely to retain their employees. Still, the Covid-19 crisis pushed companies to increase pay cuts, voluntary retirement and layoffs. The consequences on the workforce have been devastating, reducing the long-term competitive edge of the companies. Employee morale has decreased, training and development costs have been cut off, and valuable knowledges has been lost. At the same time, many other companies are ramping up hiring to accommodate new skills needed.” Question :- Discuss comprehensively on the human resource management planning in relation to industrial revolution 4.0.
