1. Explain the types of Alternate Dispute Resolution Mechanisms and differentiate between them?

Answer: Dispute involves the struggle of a person with another person, or a thing or a situation. It is a problem or disagreement, a situation that needs resolution. Every employee faces an issue of conflict at work. Disputes can be resolved if dealt the right way. Dispute resolution is the process of finding a solution to a Dispute. Resolving disputes effectively creates more understanding among those involved in dispute, increases team work, as members develop stronger bonds., It also increases mutual respect, and improves self-knowledge as conflict is a testing time, when the members can examine themselves. On the other hand, if disputes are not effectively resolved, its results will be damaging. If team members have conflicting goals and no solution is attained, it can break the team. Employees with conflicting goals ultimately start disliking one another on a personal level. Disputes within the workplace that are not effectively and timely resolved, affect the organisation in

Answer: a) Indian Contract Act really codifies the way we enter into a contract, carry out a contract, and put into practice the requirements of a contract and the consequences of breaking a contract. Essentially, a person is free to get into a contract on any terms he/she chooses. The Contract Act consists of restraining factors subject to which contract may be entered into, executed and breach enforced. It only provides a skeleton of set of laws and regulations, which govern formation, and performance of contract. The contracting parties themselves determine the rights and duties of parties and terms of agreement. The court of law acts as a watchdog to enforce agreement, in case of non-

Answer: a) Unearned revenue is money received from a customer for work that has not yet been performed. This is advantageous from a cash flow perspective for the seller, who now has the cash to perform the required services. Unearned revenue is a liability for the recipient of the payment, so the initial entry is a debit to the cash account and a credit to the unearned revenue account.

As a company earns the revenue, it reduces the balance in the unearned revenue account (with a debit) and increases the balance in the revenue account (with a credit). The unearned revenue account is usually classified as a current liability on the balance sheet.

If a company were not to deal with unearned revenue in this manner, and instead recognize it all at once, revenues and profits would initially be overstated, and then understated for the additional periods during which the revenues and profits should have been recognized. This is also a violation of the matching principle, since revenues are being recognized at once, while related expenses are not being

1. Explain various ways to segment consumer market.

Answer: A market segment is a portion of a larger market in which the individuals, groups, or organisations share one or more characteristics that cause them to have relatively similar product needs.

Five conditions must exist for segmentation to be meaningful:
1. A marketer must determine whether the market is heterogeneous. If the consumers‟ product needs are homogeneous, then it is senseless to segment the market.
2. There must be some logical basis to identify and divide the population in relatively distinct homogeneous groups, having common needs or characteristics and who will respond to a marketing programme.
3. The total market should be divided in such a manner that comparison of estimated sales potential, costs and profits of each segment can be estimated.
4. One or more segments must have enough profit potential that would justify developing and maintaining a marketing programme.
5. It must be possible to reach the target segment effectively. For instance, in some rural areas in India, there are no media that can be used to reach the targeted groups. It is also possible that paucity of funds prohibits

2. What is the distribution channel that you will use to distribute the product across Indian market? Explain the same with reason.

Answer: Every marketing activity starts and ends with the customer. The customer is the ultimate target for a marketer. The availability of the product in the market depends on the efficacy of the distribution channel. Therefore, the distribution channel plays a significant role in the marketing activities. The success of a company’s marketing effort depends upon its command on the distribution network. The company can reach customers either directly through its own sales force (called direct marketing) or through a set of intermediaries and channel members (called indirect marketing).

The channels of distribution perform the following functions:
a. They facilitate the physical movement of goods from the point of production to the point of consumption.
b. They undertake storage of goods.
c. They transfer or help in the transfer of title

Answer: a) Brand ambassadors play a major role in the marketing of a particular brand, service or product. Brand ambassadors are the main reasons for many people to buy the endorsed products. Brand ambassador is the first person who believes in your brand and agrees to endorse it using his/her expertise, experience, knowledge, skills etc. If they don’t believe in the brand, there is very little they can do at the core and cry of being authentic in this age. Brand ambassadors represent the brand whenever they can and wherever they find themselves. It is the duty of brand ambassadors to make the product likeable, more interesting and different from others. They convince the consumers to trust the brand.

Course: Essentials of HRM
Internal Assignment Applicable for April 2020 (last date 28 March 2020)  Examination

1. There is a lot of prominence given to the fact that the processes like HR audit and HR accounting can only be successful if accurate HR information is available. Throw light to authenticate this statement with proper explanation on needs and application of HRIS in relation to retention strategy & performance appraisal. Also, conclude by emphasizing the significance of HRIS in today’s era.

Answer: I do agree with the statement that HR audit and HR accounting can only be successful if accurate HR information is available. Human resource information system will be helpful in this respect and solve the said purpose. An information system especially developed for the human resource management function is called an HRIS–Human Resource Information System. HRIS has become one of the most important tools for many businesses. Even a small, 20-person office needs to realise the benefits of using HRIS to be more efficient. Many firms do not realise how much time and money they are spending on manual Human Resource Management (HRM) tasks until they sit down and take inventory of their time. HRIS is advancing using Information Technology (IT). It allows companies to cut costs and offer more information to employees in a faster and more efficient way. Especially in difficult economic times, it is critical for companies to become more efficient in every sector of their business and Human Resource (HR) is no exception.

2. Often it is noticed that employees do not find their performance evaluation quite a progressive experience. Adding to the misery is a fact that most managers will avoid discussing performance issues related to behaviour. It’s more about discussing concrete job responsibilities, skills and goals. There may be a grave concern that is never brought up because the manager is afraid of the reaction or may lack the ability to translate it into the right words. Keeping in view the above scenario/ situation discuss any two performance appraisal methods where feedback to the employee is essential and can help resolve such problems.

Answer: Performance appraisal is the process of obtaining, analysing and recording information about the relative worth of an employee. The focus of the performance appraisal is measuring and improving the actual performance and also the future potential of the employee. Its aim is to measure what an employee does. According to E. B. Flippo, "performance appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an impartial rating of an employee’s excellence in the matters pertaining to his present job and his potential for a better job." Performance appraisal is a systematic way of reviewing and assessing the performance of an employee during a given period of time and planning for the future as well.

It is a method of evaluating the behaviour of employees in a work place in both quantitative and qualitative aspects of job performance. It is a process which involves determining and communicating to an employee how their performance has been and ideally, establishing a plan for further improvement. In other


3. Rachel joined Shimmer Net a software company as program developer. On the very first day of her joining she was handed over some literature and asked to take notes as well as cues from it which can be utilized at her work. Learning the job role and responsibilities by herself was becoming quite a task so she went to her peers for help when needed. It was seen that her peers started avoiding her as they had their own work and Rachel’s queries were disturbing them. Rachel was in crossroads and sad hence resigned from her work within two months of joining. The HR department analyzed and came to a conclusion that the prominent reason is lack of induction.
a. What innovative approach should the HR department come up with in terms of Induction? Discuss
b. Explain the purpose of induction that how things could have been different for Rachel if the organisation followed a proper induction pattern.

Answer: a) An induction program is a very important step when new employees join an organisation. It provides an introduction to the working environment and the role of the employee in the organisation. Induction covers the employer and employee rights and, the terms and conditions of employment. An induction program definitely covers any legal and compliance requirements of the organization. Also it definitely tells employees about the health and safety precautions to be taken in certain situations.

Innovative approach for induction
The duration of the induction program differs from organisation to organisation and depends on the type of position of the new employee. Most induction programs take about a week. However, the training can go up to a month or three also. The essential thing to remember is not to create ‘information overload’. If possible some background information about the organisation should be conveyed to the employee prior to the
