I only need part 3 !!!!

Nearly every problem or issue confronting an organization has a financial or budgetary impact. For instance, staff turnover has not only a direct cost on recruitment expenses, training costs, and productivity, but also an indirect cost related to the loss of organizational learning. In Part 3, detail the financial implications to the organization related to your problem or issue, including the additional costs that may arise if the problem or issue is not resolved effectively. The paper should be 1-2 pages.

Final Paper

As the global marketplace becomes increasingly more competitive, it is incumbent upon human resources to broaden its strategic mission and become a strategic partner with executive staff. This requires human resources to have a detailed understanding of not only the human resources field, but the strengths and challenges of its organization, and the complexities of its industry. Through these units of knowledge, human resources can maximize its value by providing competent advice and counsel to its organization as it strives to achieve its strategic objectives.

The comprehensive Final Paper comprises four parts, with Parts 1, 2, and 3 submitted during the first three weeks of the course. In Week 5, a cohesive final paper will be due that includes Part 4, an executive summary, and the previously submitted Parts 1, 2, and 3. This final paper should be eight to ten pages and should incorporate any comments or suggestions made by the instructor on Parts 1, 2, and 3.

Focus of the Final Paper
In your final project, you are to choose a major problem/issue affecting an organization of your choice, and then utilize your detailed knowledge of human resources and strategic planning to develop a comprehensive plan that minimizes, and hopefully eliminates, this threat to your chosen organization’s ability to meet its long-range organizational goals and objectives. The components of this comprehensive project are as follows:

• Part 1 – Overview of Organization/Problem (due in Week 1): In a 2-3 page paper, provide an overview of the organization and the problem/issue that challenges that organization. Next, detail how the problem/issue affects (or can affect) the future viability of the organization. Finally, discuss the principle role of human resources in an organization and how human resources can provide critical advice and counsel to the organization in addressing this challenge.

• Part 2 – Environment Analysis (due in Week 2): Optimal solutions are determined when a researcher has a thorough understanding of a company and its industry, along with the strengths and weaknesses that impact its future viability. In the second part of your plan, perform a SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunity, and Threats) on your chosen organization and provide an analysis of these results in light of the problem or issue under study. Be attentive to identifying how the problem or issue impacts the organization and its competitive position within the industry. The paper should be 2-3 pages.

• Part 3 – Financial Analysis (due in Week 3): Nearly every problem or issue confronting an organization has a financial or budgetary impact. For instance, staff turnover has not only a direct cost on recruitment expenses, training costs, and productivity, but also an indirect cost related to the loss of organizational learning. In Part 3, detail the financial implications to the organization related to your problem or issue, including the additional costs that may arise if the problem or issue is not resolved effectively. The paper should be 1-2 pages.

• Part 4 – Recommendations (due in Week 5): The final part of your comprehensive project incorporates your recommendations. Based on your work in Parts 1, 2, and 3, provide 2-3 recommendations to organizational leadership that would resolve the problem/issue in question. Be sure to detail any challenges the organization should consider in implementing your recommendations (culture, motivation, etc.) and your strategy to overcome these challenges. The recommendations section should be 2-3 pages.

• The Final Paper due at the end of Week 5 will comprise Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4. It should begin with an Executive Summary, which is an abbreviated capture of the entire paper and as such should touch upon all major points while engaging the reader. The final paper should be 8-10 pages.

Note that some of the information related to this project may not be readily available in course materials, requiring you to research contemporary management trends in the public sector.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Describe how a law office can become a “paperless office.”
2. Describe the process of filing legal documents electronically.
3. Outline ethical considerations related to a paperless office.
4. Compare procedures for disseminating electronic versus hardcopy documents to clients and courts.
5. Research the pros and cons of implementing a paperless office.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Read the scenario below.

   Everyone was talking about the paperless office in the bar association meeting, but the reality had not struck home until attorney Mason received a call from his paralegal asking where to store the twenty boxes of files from the litigation that had just been settled. There was no room left in the small storage area allotted to them in the basement of the office building.

   It looked like most of the documents in the file transfer boxes were already on the office file server. Only the documents received from the opposing side were still in paper form. The reality was that most of the files were paper copies of electronic files on the server. Scanning paper documents was a chore, but with the high-speed scanner that was shown at the tech show, it might not be a big issue. There was also the service bureau that would scan everything and reproduce it on a CD, like the electronic discovery in the recently closed case provided by the defendant.

   It seemed like a good time to discuss the costs of storage and new equipment with the other attorney with whom he was sharing office space. Maybe there was a solution and a chance to recover all the storage space, save money in the long term, and get the coffee room back. Attorney Mason has asked you to research the pros and cons of implementing a paperless office and to make a recommendation.

2. Assume that the office described above is located in your own jurisdiction. Determine whether or not your jurisdiction allows for electronic filing of legal documents, and obtain any guidelines or procedures that must be followed.
3. Write a report with the sections indicated below.
   • Recommendation: One paragraph summarizing whether or not you believe the law office described in the scenario above and located in your own jurisdiction should become a paperless office. (Note: You should write this section last, but it should be the first section of your paper.)
   • Overview: Support your recommendation with a brief discussion of the pros and cons of implementing a paperless office.
   • Electronic Filing: Compare procedures for disseminating electronic versus hardcopy documents to clients and courts in your jurisdiction. This section should include a description of the process of filing legal documents electronically. (Note: If your jurisdiction does not allow electronic filing of legal documents, state that in this section. Find out if there is a plan in place to begin accepting electronic documents in the future, and if so, describe it in this section.)
   • Ethics Considerations: Outline ethical considerations related to a paperless office.
   • Implementation: Briefly describe the basic steps the office would need to take to become a “paperless office.”
