Managing Risk

The gear revolution minimized many barriers of access to the Backcountry but did not eliminate the inherent risks involved in stepping outside. 

This week we will explore risk matrices from Rick Curtis. Rick Curtis is a US Outdoor professional with Princeton University and a leading author and contributor to many fields of study within Outdoor Education. His Risk Assessment Safety Management (RASM) model provides an in-depth, collegiate level introduction and explanation of the phenomena of RISK and his model of identifying and interacting with RISK.

After you complete the reading and watching the clip, browse through the National Park Services list of ‘TEN ESSENTIALS’. https://www.nps.gov/articles/10essentials.htm (Links to an external site.) 

The Ten Essentials represent the minimum equipment you should bring with you when you venture into the back country.

After connecting the Ten Essentials to RASM please answer the following questions in the discussion section of CANVAS under ‘Week 9- Managing Risk’ 

1- Explain Safety Factors.
2- What is Bailing out?
3- Explain the advantages of the RASM model.
4- Explain the disadvantages of the RASM model.
5- Explain why the TEN ESSENTIALS are so important and how they fit into RASM.

To Build a Fire

Perception of backcountry and wilderness are not exclusive to minority groups. The notion of ‘Man versus Nature’ is a common theme in history, urban development, and literature. This ideology was probably first made apparent to you during High School English/Literature courses. This ideology pervaded human thought, development and culture milieu for the majority of human history. Rivers were dammed, landscapes changed, 

Even in Outdoor Recreation, this line of thinking is still around. Survival Skills like shelter building, fending off wild animals and battling to survive the harsh elements away from indoor spaces. One of American author, Jack London’s most famous short stories ‘To Build a Fire’ wonderfully conveys the physical and psychological frailty of man in the face of a harsh, ambivalent ‘nature’. 

After reading and taking notes, please answer the following questions below the links.

Questions: No definite word count. Just answer the questions

1. Why do you think the protagonist is referred to as “the man” as opposed to being given a name?

2. London writes, “He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances”. What does this tell us about the man?  What is his character like?

3. How are the man and the dog similar?  How are they different?

4. Why does London point out that the dog acts from instinct?

5. What do you think London means when he says, “This man did not know cold”?

  • If you have only been a mentee, please discuss how you would approach that relationship differently from the leader’s perspective.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Write a research paper in APA 6th style

/in /by

Paper #1 Requirements: A  “career path” in a given occupation can be defined as a series of  increasingly responsible and demanding “jobs,” where at least some of  those jobs are prerequisites for one another, like prerequisites for  college courses.  When we think of professional careers, we often think of progressions like “Jr. Accountant, Accountant, Financial Analyst,  Accounting Manager, Division Comptroller, CFO.”

Smart companies arrange step-wise  progressions for non-exempt (hourly paid, typically non-degreed)  employees in order to retain them over time.  For example, an employee of a residential moving company might go through the following sequence of positions: Loader B, Loader A, Lead Loader, Truck Driver, and  Project Coordinator, where each job requires the expertise gained in its  predecessor.  You should go into LIRN and search for at least a couple  of articles that treat these kinds of “job families” for non-exempt (or  “hourly”) employees. 

When companies create job families, they are said to have “internal labor markets,” which means that, aside  from an entry-level position, which can be filled “off the street,”  recruitment for the higher-level jobs is almost always done within the company. 

Deliverables 

Once you have done your research and reflected upon this matter, please address the following questions:

  1. a. What are the advantages to a company of having such job families?
  2. b. Do you believe that, over the long term, job families are good for profits, or not? Why? 
  3. c. What are the advantages to the employees? Are there disadvantages to the employees that you can think of?
  4. d. Overall, why would you recommend (or not recommend) the use of job families?

Use the required reading, the  lectures, and the sources cited in the lectures to justify your  position, along with additional research you have done.

Paper Writing Requirements 

Please be sure to address the following requirements when completing your papers:

  • The cover page and reference page/s are not included in the page requirement or word count. These should be in addition to paper page count requirements.
  • Papers need to be formatted in proper APA 6th Edition style.
  • Each paper requires a minimum of at least three outside peer-reviewed sources for your references.
    • Acceptable/credible sources include: Academic journals and books, industry journals, and the class textbook. You could also use credible business website sources in addition to the peer-reviewed required sources, but avoid Wikipedia and Google. These are academic papers that need to include scholarly research.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

Today’s technology world has opened the door for many businesses to digitalize their business model and operate in new markets with almost no boundaries. We have also known companies with capital market exceeding billions and even few have reached the trillion-dollar market. While this is great for business opportunities and job creations, it has also added pressure on the small companies in the market. One of the pressures that small companies with less than 50 employees can face is the challenge of designing a job requirements that is enriched enough to recruit and retain highly talented employees. 

Problem

· Challenges of recruiting and retaining talent employees for companies with fewer than 50 positions and have less budget than companies with hundreds of thousands of employees.

· How can companies maintain equity and support engagement with limited budget and still compete with larger companies?

· How can companies improve engagement during difficult times?

There many stakeholders involved in this business challenge. They include but not limited to the following:

· Business owners who have less than 50 employees in their business.

· Employees.

· Local community where those business operate.

· External vendor and source that those companies deal with.

Research Methodology

The research will depend on past practice from some of the small business companies that overcome those challenges and turned their business into a much bigger and efficient business. It will also take into consideration laws regulating small business as well as overall laws regulating the human resource field and employees and companies’ rights. More importantly, market research is going to be a key player in the research methodology for this paper.

Top human resource journals such as the following:

· Human Resource Management Journal

· International Journal of Human Resource 

Alternatives

In order to help small companies overcome this challenge, companies can apply the following recommendations. However, more alternatives can be presented in the final paper as we go more with market research. 

· Be the company that people want to work for, attracting culture-fit, like-minded candidates.

· Make it appealing and easy for prospective candidates to engage with your hiring decision makers.

· Encourage social networking conversations touting company events, product launches, service offerings.

Each of those alternatives would be reviewed, and any obstacles will be taken into consideration in order to ease the steps on the companies to implement those alternatives

Final Recommendation

A final recommendation will be made as to which of the alternatives can best fit different business models. Small business companies may have different business model and each may need a different alternative to better recruit and retain employees with small budget while competing with larger companies who attract those employees with better compensations packages.
