Report covers injection molders with <$25 million in sales

Plastics News has released its first research report in a series of three focused entirely on the injection molding market in North America. "Injection Molders Market Review and Outlook 2012" is available for sale at www.plasticsnews.com/marketresearch.

The reports segment the companies into tiers of annual sales revenue. This edition covers smaller firms with less than $25 million in IM-related revenue in North America, based on PN's own research and company rankings. The second report -- due out soon -- will cover molders with sales of $25 million to $150 million, and the final installment will cover molders with sales greater than $150 million.

This first, 53-page report profiles 20 leading injection molders, includes Q&A interviews with top officials of five such companies, and also offers insights into opportunities and threats, major trends, economic and political conditions, and legislative and regulatory activity impacting supply and demand. Economist Peter Mooney also examines the future of the segment, providing a forecast through 2016 for injection molding sales to major end-markets, as well as analyzing historical sales and GDP trends.

How to build an HR Scorecard
The Balanced Scorecard developed in the early 1990s by Robert Kaplan and David Norton, is a strategic management and measurement tool that enables organizations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into results. 

When applied to HR, this framework ensures that there is a clear line of sight between the business and HR strategy of a firm.  The traditional measures of Human Resources are supplemented with metrics of performance from four key perspectives—financial, customers, internal business processes and learning and growth. The strategic value of HR is also clearly demonstrated when HR's contribution to the company’s strategic business goals is well defined, measured and understood.
