A human resources policy manual, also colloquially known as an “employee handbook,” is a document which sets the tone for the company’s overall employee relationship philosophy. This document informs employees of the policies and procedures of the company who has hired them and some of their rights and responsibilities to this company (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin, & Cardy, 2016; Guerin & DelPo, 2005; Lawson, 1998).

The six steps recommended for implementing the revised DFWP will be listed with the costs associated with each step.

This part of the research will focus on the relationships between the concepts stated in the previous framework. As it was already stated that domestic policies are sufficient for foreign policies, it is also to be proven true that foreign policies are adequate for the initiation, formulation, and implementation of domestic policies. This study will, therefore, be grounded on Andrew Moravcsik’s Liberal Theory of International Politics and Robert Putnam’s Logic of Two-Level Games. It has always…

According to Hudson, synoptic planning has roughly four classical elements: (1) specification of goals and targets; (2) identification of policy alternatives; (3) evaluation of means against ends; and (4) implementation of policy. Edward Banfield is believed to be one of the many students of the planning process who developed these steps. Synoptic planning has been a dominant planning tradition but this tradition has…
