This is a delicate balance for any organization to attain, and Nucor has been able to keep the variation in production process balanced with the need to keep employees motivated while changes in their business model are implemented.
Based on your recommendation for related or unrelated diversification, identify the organizational structure issues that the company would need to address to implement that diversification.
With related diversification the recommendation, organizational and structural issues are minimized, as this strategy will integrate companies whose structures and management philosophies are comparable to Nucor. This will also minimize resistance to change and make the integration of companies much more effective over time. Finally, this approach will make it systems and processes much more efficient...
All of these factors will ensure Nucor continues to succeed against larger and slower-to-respond competitors globally.

This training needs to be diffused throughout the organization. This increases risk, however, in the joint ventures
HRM Issues One of the most important HRM issues that must be addressed is represented by the fact that the company does not use job descriptions. Although the practice of Nucor and the appreciation of both managers and employees have revealed that this system seems to be working, the situation must be changed in order to increase and to maintain efficiency. The company's motivational system is another area of interest in relation
(Livingston 2012) What are the positive aspects of this theory -explain how markets behave? Why? The positive aspects of this theory are that it identifies changes in the markets early.

The wealth can then indeed be seen as the reward for effort, rather than wealth as a result of
HRM Challenges in Today's Organizations All organizations require employees to make them a success and this function is considered as important as finance, machinery and land for running the organization successfully.
