Please assist with this assignment:
The assignment has 4 questions which are based on the case study and the study module provided.
QUESTION 1 (50)
Individuals and organisations are entering an era where adapting to a developing learning society and a knowledge economy forge the way for many organisations.
In the case attaced, Finland has realised the benefits of a knowledge-based economy. Bearing this in mind:
1.1 Critically discuss how effective HRD practices and an effective HRD strategy in the workplace can provide the levers of control for the future of a growing knowledge-economy in countries like South Africa, Russia and the country in which you reside.
(The response must be 1500 words required, Please discuss the importance of HR Development Strategy and link to HRD practices as indicated in the module. Explain what is knowledge economy. How does HRD strategy link to the growth of a knowledge economy.)
1.2 Discuss the impact of linking HRD to the key strategic drivers of an organisation’s macro- and micro-environment in order to deliver the advantageous returns of HRD.
( The response must be 1000 words required, Please discuss, Strategic HRD, determine what are the key strategic drivers of the organisations micro and macro environment. What importance would HRD have on these strategic drivers, what are the advantages of HRD return on investment)
QUESTION 2
In the case of South Africa, which is a developing African country, skills development legislation has fundamentally changed the face of education and training. In light of this statement:
2.1 Critically discuss the reconceptualisation and repositioning of HRD as a strategic partner in the context of South Africa as a developing African country.
(In your answer include a discussion on the significance of the Skills Development Act and the Skills Development Strategy) (The response must be 1250 words required. Please include the value of HRD in a developing economy and link this to the application of the skills development at and Skills Dev. strategy of South Africa. Also discuss, what is the reconceptulising and re positioning of HRD.
2.2 Considering the recent trends and developments in the field of HRD both nationally and internationally, as evidenced in the case study above, critically argue whether it would be justifiable to gain commitment towards developing a country’s human capital, by making it a legal obligation for all employers to increase competency levels in the workforce, as in the case of South Africa. (The response must be 1250 words required, please discuss the ROI, and the importance of legislation in promoting training and development. Also include the importance and significance of South African legislation.
How would your life be different without one of your motivations? Review hunger, sexual, and the higher motivations and pick one that is particularly interesting to you. What about your daily life would change? How would it change your long-term life planning?
The most commonly known theory of motivators is one given by Maslow. The mostwidespread version of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs includes five motivational needsdepicted as hierarchical levels of…
HR class discussion:
At times, an employee may claim he or she was terminated unjustly and attempt to litigate the termination. Research a case of wrongful termination, where an employee sued a former employer for unjust/unfair termination. Give a brief review of the case, and then discuss what the employer, and the employee, could have done differently to avoid this litigation. Finally, discuss how best to terminate an employee for cause without leading to possible litigation.
How would you solve this and show work for it?

HPV is very common. In fact, it is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US. HPV is so common that nearly all sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives. Most people never know that they have been infected and may give HPV to a partner without knowing it.
A potential answer to this problem is HPV vaccines. HPV vaccines work extremely well. Clinical trials showed the vaccines provided close to 100% protection against pre-cancers and for HPV4, genital warts. Since the vaccine was first recommended in 2006, there has been a 56% reduction in HPV infections among teen girls in the US, even with very low HPV vaccination rates. Recently, Gardasil 9 was approved by the FDA, which now covers nine HPV types (five more HPV types than the original Gardasil). Gardasil 9 has the potential to prevent approximately 90 percent of cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers (not to mention various cancers of the mouth and throat).
However, the question remains… why are HPV vaccination rates so low, and should be put public health policies in place to improve them?
After reviewing the weblinks, weigh in with your thoughts on potential policy tools and processes for improving HPV and related cancer outcomes. What are the potential strengths and weaknesses of these tools/processes? Are there any proposed or passed legislative initiatives that you would support? Defend your response. Posts should be thoughtful, insightful, and a minimum of 250-500 words. These posts should add significant substance to the conversation and clearly reference (i.e. cite) information from current textbook chapter readings/lectures (please follow current APA guidelines for your in-text citations and references).

Hpose that there are two firms competing in the market for taxi services. Big Ben Taxis has the marginal cost MCB = $9 per trip, and the fixed cost FCB = $3,000,000. While Whitehall Taxis has the marginal cost MCW = $15 per trip, and the fixed cost FCW =$1,000,000.Inverse demand for taxi trips in the market is given by the function,P=75− Q / 10,000. In this equation, P is the price of a taxi trip, and Q is the total quantity of taxi trips supplied by the two taxi companies.Question 1: Find the equilibrium price and quantities for the case in which the two taxi companies engage in Cournot (quantity) competition. What profits will Big Ben Taxis and Whitehall Taxis earn. (11 Marks)Question 2: Using your answers to question 1, determine which firm has the greater market power. (4 Marks)Question 3: Now suppose that a firm can only supply taxi services if it purchases a licence from the government. What is the highest fee that the government can charge for a license, if the government wants both Big Ben Taxis and Whitehall Taxis to purchase a license? (Note: A licence does not place a limit on the number of taxi trips a company can supply. You should assume that both firms are charged the same fee.) (2 Marks)Question 4: If, instead, the government wants to maximise the revenue it receives from taxi license fees, how many licenses should it sell, and what fee should it charge? (8 Marks)
