You will be asked in many of the “Surf the Net” exercises throughout the text to locate information on the Web. This exercise is designed to help you improve your Web research skills. After spending some time at one of the Web Tutorial links listed here, outline three new ideas you discovered that would help you find what you are looking for on the Web. Queen’s University Tutorial on Web research: UC Berkeley’s Teaching Library Internet Workshops: 2. Management occupations. Human Resources & Skills Development Canada uses the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system to classify workers into one of more than 923 occupations according to their occupational definition. To facilitate classification, occupations requiring similar job duties, skills, education, or experience are combined to form 9 major groups.
List the NOC number, occupation title, and description for the four occupations you selected. 3.Ten manager roles. Find and read a feature story on a current leader of an organization. Look for examples of the leader performing activities from those listed in Exhibit 1.3, “Ten Manager Roles.” On your sheet of paper, identify the source of your article, the leader featured, and the roles you identified the individual fulfilling, along with a brief description of the activity the individual performed. Use any of these links to access current issues of business periodicals that often include feature stories on organizational leaders.
