A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REMOTE INTERVIEWS AND HIRING FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

In increasingly globalized societies, heavily dependent on online communication, it is crucial to provide children with exposure to various languages, cultural influences, and ideas linking people from all around the world. The choice to hire an au pair from outside the US not only allows families to broaden their intercultural horizons, but also provides unique opportunities for talented, specially trained childcare providers eager to experience life in America. Most families do not have the means to travel with their children internationally but can bring an authentic experience from another part of the world into their homes. People rely on online tools to ensure they have found the very best family-caregiver match. This study explores 123 host families’ experiences of interviewing and selecting au pairs, based on survey responses about the technological tools they used for interviewing and their recommended selection modalities.  Article visualizations

Online Preparation for the Remote Global Workforce

The purpose of researching how much online learning in a university setting influences the students’ preparedness for remote work in the global labor force is to prove the following: without the essential opportunity to learn in the virtual classroom, students might finish their degrees completely without knowledge of how to cope and function in a job position which requires partial or total online work. Being able to telecommute or work from a remote location and all that this sort of work entails will be a given within 10-20 years when new hires are being considered for employment. Universities play a key role in getting the next generation of workers ready for remote professional opportunities which would otherwise require additional training and acclimatization in order for entry level candidates to experience a seamless initialization into companies already moving steadily towards a more remote work-based model

A cross-sector international study of remote work and its management in the pandemic

With the Covid-19 pandemic forcing organizations to work remotely, this paper presents a wide-ranging study of factors affecting the transition from physical to online operations, and the management and conduct of business online. A literature review summarizes years of research on remote work, while an international survey done in August 2020 collects input from managers in 158 organizations dealing with pandemic-related lockdowns. Topics include impacts on productivity, employee morale, and management workload. Sampled organizations range from manufacturing and retail firms to schools and universities. Cross-sector analysis allows inquiry into why, for instance, productivity and morale may decline in some places but improve in others

SIGNIFICANCE OF ANALYTICS

Despite the number of times marketers have been using analytics as a tool to predict and drive consumer behavior, it is a relatively new application of the science. Technology continues to evolve and offers even more data choices and metrics for analysis, increasing the abilities of marketers to reach their audience. This article expands on several sectors of use, including real estate, social media, and healthcare, and theorizes the impact that analytics will have in the future as the technological means to interpret data catches up with the sheer amount of real-time information available for potential use, especially with the development of the Internet of Things, and rising concerns around data use, regarding data protection and copyright.  Article visualizations

GENDER BASED SHOPPING AND CONSUMER PURCHASING: “SALE ENDS TODAY”

This paper analyzes gender-based shopping and consumer purchasing patterns during Black Friday sales. Black Friday is one of the most popular shopping days around the globe, especially in the United States where Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving. Its popularity has been growing since 2005. Black Friday deals are becoming popular in more than just the United States; they are also popular in Europe and Latin America. This study focuses on gender-based buying habits, how Black Friday shopping differs from other types of shopping, and what kinds of merchandise are most popular during the holiday season and as well as online and in-person shopping trends among customers. In order to support my study, this research paper is based on statistical findings from Finder.com, Financesonline.com, Adobe Analytics and the National Retail Federation.  Article visualizations

Analyzing an Unconventional Success Story Chick-fil-A Fast Food Restaurants in the USA

The U.S. fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, Inc. has prospered financially and scored multiple rankings at or near the top of its industry by using unconventional management practices, including some that appear to be drawbacks. This paper attempts what previous academic research has not: a thorough analysis of Chick-fil-A’s practices and policies, looking at how they might function as “success factors” and how the company has turned apparent disadvantages into advantages. The practices and policies include an unusual approach to franchising, a limited menu, private ownership, absence of global expansion, a distinctive focus on customer service and employee relations, and an explicitly Christian corporate culture. Chick-fil-A’s success, with a business model that does not fit the mold of other fast-food chains, makes the company a promising subject for further research by anyone wishing to study unconventional forms of differentiation for competitive advantage
