BUSI535 Week 1 Writing Assignment 1

Instructions

Assess Application Case: Staffing Strategy for a New Plant (Heneman III, pages 40-41). Your task is to state a tentative response to each question that will be the basis for your discussion at the meeting. What geographic location might be best for the plant in terms of attracting sufficient quantity and quality of labor, especially for the key jobs? Provide information to support your choice of location. Should the plant manager come from inside the current managerial ranks or be sought from the outside? Why is your selection a better choice versus the other? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Should staffing be based on just the person-job match or also on the person-organization match? Differentiate between the two and explain why this is a complex decision. Would it make sense to initially staff the plant with a flexible workforce by using temporary employees and then shift over to a core workforce if it looks like the plant will be successful? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a flexible workforce versus a core workforce in this situation? In the early stages, should the plant be fully staffed, understaffed, or overstaffed? Why is your choice a preferred method? Explain why the other two choices are not preferential. Based on the case, will employee retention likely be a problem, and if so, how will this affect the viability of the new plant?
