Challenges, Opportunities, Strengths, Weaknesses and EBI at Law Exchange Ltd
Student: M Maher Al-Jarrah Tutor: Michael Dempsy Course: B830 Date: 12/07/2007
Introduction
We have to introduce the organisation, its structure and business to be able to understand what challenges and opportunities which currently exist. Those challenges and opportunities are strongly interrelated with each other and we will discover that many of them depend on how the HRM participate in the process of decision making and in implementing decisions.
Having explained all that, it would be possible to introduce my view of my own strengths and weaknesses as a manager in dealing with these challenges and opportunities. This view should be explained and supported by evidence from different sources to make it a reasonable and convincing point of view. Furthermore, this will open the way for us to find suitable ‘gaps’ or bases to start defining the areas that are possible to be my future focus of work to start my EBI.
