Hare and Tortoise Story - HRM Perspective
Hare and Tortoise is children story with a moral. Everybody would have heard this story. Slide share has a source - http://www.slideshare.net/HasbiSeptiansyah/teamwork-10996042... Read it is you want to know more on this.
This story can be taken as a good case for HRM understanding. Here is an attempt made on this. Sketchy details are given with. I wish the ISEM and ITM students try to understand and come out with their own conclusions for this sketch. Please dont feel constrained. Try to use your imagination and extend the story in expanding your understanding of HRM course contents.
Post a blog on this. Dead line - ? I have not decided yet. Wait for it.
1 Who is faster - Hare Vs. Tortoise ?
2 Hare Vs. Tortoise - On what criteria one is best ?
- Given fixed distance... Speed and Constancy will decide the winner
3 What is the purpose of competition ?
- Select / announce FASTER one
4 What is the RACE process implemented ?
- Race is the mode chosen
- Running track is chosen
- Race beginning and destination is agreed upon
- Relative time is the criteria
- Individual efforts are used
5 What are the assumptions of the competition ?
- Faster are preferred
- Both will demo their best K, S, As
6 Assumptions of conventional method chosen
- Hare's speed is greater than the tortoise
- Given this, Hare will WIN and Tortoise cannot WIN
7 During the race
- Hare is erratic in its effort
- Tortoise is consistent in its effort
8. HRM questions
Is faster preferred than slower
Whether path chosen is FAIR for both the contestants
9. HRM solutions
Alternate Solution 1: Same distance, each with their own speeds, each of them working individually, two different paths given to ( Hare - by road, Tortoise - by Water ) reaching the destination with relative time consideration.
Alternate Solution 2: Same distance, each with their own speeds, working each of them individually, same paths given ( Hare - by road, Tortoise - by Water ) reaching the destination with NO relative time consideration.
Alternate Solution 3: Same distance, mix of paths (Road + Pond ) given, both of them working as a team, each of them leveraging their speeds as needed on the track reaching the destination with SHORTEST possible time as the goal.
Performance = Function of Effort, Skill, Method chosen ....
Are there any new solutions ?
Go ahead.. and think over it..

Performance = Function of Effort, Skill, Method chosen ....
- Is performance is real performance or only a projection of the potential performance ?
- Whether method chosen for performance is in tune with the skills some body has to achieve the performance
- Whether somebody has put in efforts for achieving performance?
- Whether somebody has necessary skills to work on the methods chosen to achieve performance ?
