Innovations in Health & Social Care Course Public sectors organizations such as social services & NHS trusts are driven by internal & external forces such as the government, innovations in the private sector of new or more efficient health & social care products, & are required to demonstrate their performance against set criteria.  Mulgan & Albury (2003) suggest “ Innovation should be a core activity of the public sector: it helps public services to improve performance & increase public value; responds to expectations of citizens & adapt to the needs of users; increase service efficiency & minimize costs… How to seek out & foster innovation from all levels is crucial to continual development & improvement:” In this sense public services have to be innovative to keep up with public perception of quality & delivery of services & to meet the ever-changing performance criteria (for example, Best Value).

International Human Resource Management Course For many years, human resource management was seen as the "poor relation" of the business functions. Limited to a low-key administrative role, concerned with employee welfare & payroll administration, or at best a trouble-shooting role concerned with resolving labour-management conflicts, human resource professionals were rarely seen as having any significant role to play in determining the organisation's overall strategy. In the words of Peter Drucker, personnel was the "trash can". How things have changed. Increasingly, managers are now realising that the key resource determining the effectiveness of an organisation is its human resources: its people. As long ago as the late 1970s & early 1980s, North American & European managers were beginning to realise that what made Japanese businesses so different, so superbly competitive, was their approach to managing people. The American management consultants, Peters & Waterman, searching for examples of business excellence in the US, decided that the key lay in the distinctive cultures of their "excellent" businesses. Current debates in strategic management focus on the conditions for the creation of sustainable competitive advantage. It is becoming clear that many of the traditional marketing & product development bases of competitive strategy can be imitated by competitors relatively easily
- the advantage gained through such strategies is often simply not sustainable. This is less the case with human resource management. The way an organisation treats its staff, an organisation's culture & its approach to teamwork & innovation are all potentially distinctive & value-creating characteristics that have the potential to create competitive advantage. Furthermore, the very idiosyncrasy & social complexity of such characteristics means that once created any advantage is likely to be sustainable simply because competitors will find it difficult to imitate.
