Select a publicly-traded company to research. Evaluate its human  resource (HR) and business strategy, HR department job positions, and  ways it markets its company regarding human capital. The following are  some of the company websites that provide this information:

• Allstate: Human Resources Careers.
• State Farm: Human Resources & Training Careers.
• Ford: Careers.
• Aruba Marriott Careers. (You can also search for other companies from the Marriott website.)

In addition, refer to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics website, which identifies detailed roles for HRM personnel and offers you some insight into HRM positions.

Requirements

Write a 2 to 3 page paper in which you:

• Propose how you would ensure the HR strategy is in alignment with the business strategy.
• Describe the HR job positions and the responsibilities listed for that HR department.
• Determine which HR job positions you would prefer and explain why.
• Analyze how the selected company can establish HRM strategies to improve competitive advantages.
• Propose three ways that the company can increase diversity.

Scenario

Assume for this assignment that you are being highly considered for a director-level HR management position for a best-in-class national retailer. You are in the final phase of the interview process and must respond to the interview panel regarding specific questions and scenarios that will help them determine if you are a good fit for the new role. The company’s culture is centered on the effective development of strategy, plans, and selection criteria aimed at building and sustaining a competitive and profitable organization. It will be extremely important that you respond with a strategic mindset in order to convince the organization you are able to help them ensure the execution of the business strategy. 

Instructions

Write a six- to seven-page paper in which you do the following: 

• Analyze and discuss different types of strategies (cost leadership, differentiation, and focus/niche) then select which one you would deem more appropriate for an “efficiency-minded” retail organization and explain your rationale. How would the selected strategy ultimately affect how HR does its job?
• Examine the four approaches to job design or redesign and provide an example (not a definition) of each. Then, make a case to the interviewing panel on the importance of effective job design applications in supporting the overall strategic goals of the organization. 
• Consider challenges and constraints associated in recruiting and identify and discuss at least two to three issues. What advice would you give to leaders to address your selected issues? Be specific. 
• List and describe 2–3 candidate selection process ideas that might add value and overall effectiveness to the process. Example: 5 Tips for Designing an Effective Employee Selection System. Also, what problems should HR and management teams avoid during the selection process?
• Use at least four quality academic resources in this assignment.

Stereotypes about the elderly and older adults persist on television, in movies, and in advertisements. We read about older adults in books and in print media, hear about them in jokes, and see how they are depicted in greeting cards.

Research three mediums that depict older adults. You may consider television, movies, the greeting card industry, or newspapers as a few examples. Look for stereotypes, including examples of ageism.

Write a 700- word analysis of your findings.

Include an explanation of ageism and how misconceptions and misinformation play a role in it.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

In completing your reading for the week you read through a great interview in Chapter 8 titled “An Interview with a CEO You Might Want to Work For.”  It provides great insight into the kind of leadership and strategy that would create a recipe for success.  Intrigued by the interview, you share it with Emma.  Like you, she finds it interesting  and asks you to write your own version of the interview.  Choose four of the questions asked by Cokins in the interview then write your own answers as though you were the CEO of CM Tech.  

Your interview paper should include the following key elements: 

1. Provide an introduction to your interview that explains the purpose of the interview (what value can you get from thinking through these questions). 
2. Choose a minimum of four questions used in the interview in the text.  You may add more of your own if you choose.  Be sure to include the question(s) in your paper.
3. Provide answers to each of the questions as though you were in the role of the CEO of CM Tech.  Support your answers with reasoning and examples or experiences.
4. Provide a conclusion to your interview that summarizes the key points.

Your report should outline the key concepts in each area listed above and provide complete examples as appropriate.  Be sure your report is a minimum of 4 pages, includes an introduction and conclusion paragraph, title page, and references page.  The title and references pages do not count toward the total page count.  

The report should be formatted in APA style and be supported by a minimum of one scholarly reference. Since CM Tech is a fictitious company, you may use great liberty in this assignment in creating or imagining the details needed in order to write your report.
