Week 1 Civil Discourse Forum
Listed below are topic(s) I would like for each of you to discuss throughout the week. Refer to the weekly materials, your textbook, and/or the GMC library when researching the topics for this Discussion Forum. Put your writing into your own words, do not copy directly from the source. Incorporate scholarly/peer reviewed sources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicalsLinks to an external site.) in your posts be sure to cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7thLinks to an external site.) them properly.
Figure 2.1 on page 42 links the process of strategic planning and HR planning. Discuss the linkage between the two. In your response consider:
- Design structure and systems
- Vertical and Horizontal fit
- Corporate and business structure
- Human Capital Matrix
Task 1: Create a new discussion topic on or before the due date in the Course Syllabus -> Course Schedule by clicking ‘**REPLY**’. In your reply, you will post your response to the main topic. Your response should be a minimum of 250 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 500+ words!
Task 2: After you have created your new discussion topic and replied to the main topic, you will read and respond to at least 2 participant responses (includes both learners and instructor). Your main topic response and your participant responses need to be over two or more days. Remember to engage with participants through meaningful and relevant dialogue, which furthers the discussion. Incorporate what you have learned from the weekly reading material and from your own real-world experiences into your participant responses. Don’t forget to use proper APA citations and references whenever necessary.
As a reminder to students, GMC is a leadership institution that focuses on civility and respect. Notice that the title of these forums is Civil Discourse Forums. What we expect of our students, and faculty, as they participate in these forums, is it will be done with civility and respect even when perspectives are different, and opinions vary. True learning takes place when we communicate clearly and respectfully, listen closely, and are not afraid to debate and discuss our points in a civil and respectful manner.
