Assessing Diversity Initiatives

/in /by

Acme Inc. has hired you to help in evaluating the effectiveness and impact of the diversity recruiting initiatives it put into place one year ago. Previously, Acme had focused most of its recruiting efforts toward driving applicants’ traffic to its corporate website and job postings. While this approach yielded some excellent new hires, the board of directors noticed that the new hires were not a very diverse group. Three additional recruiting initiatives were incorporated into the Acme recruitment plan with the goal of increasing the diversity of new hires. The following are the three initiatives:

  • Minority college recruiting
  • Job fairs in minority communities
  • Mining diversity websites such as the diversity employment exchange

The human resources (HR) manager has been asked to report to the Acme board of directors next month regarding the impact of these initiatives. He or she has hired you to help him or her understand which of the recruiting methods made the best impression of Acme as a potential employer among the recruits. Every applicant was asked to complete a survey at the end of his or her recruiting experience. One of the survey items asked the recruit to rate how likely he or she would be to accept a job offer from Acme. The item was rated using a 5-point Likert-scale item ranging from 1 (definitely would not accept) to 5 (definitely would accept). The data from that question is provided below. Using ANOVA, analyze the data and report the results.

Click here to view the data.

In your report, include:

  • The Microsoft Excel printout of your ANOVA results.
  • Your interpretation of the results. In other words, was there a significant difference between the recruiting methods in terms of likelihood of accepting a job offer?

Drawing upon this data and the scholarly literature, provide recommendations for Acme’s human resources (HR) manager with regard to continuing diversity recruitment efforts. Include three recommendations to help Acme Inc. continue to grow its diversity efforts in an ethical and legal manner.

Present your work in a 3- to 4-page (excluding references) Microsoft Word document. Use APA style for writing.

Brazil: An Emerging Economy with Strategic Competitiveness

With stagnant economies across the world, Brazil’s economy is growing at 7%–3 times faster than America. Brazil is a huge country being slightly larger than the continental US with vast expanses of airable farmland, an abundance of natural resources, and 14% of the world’s fresh water. With the world’s greenest economy, 80% of Brazil’s electricity comes from hydropower and it has the most sophisticated biofuel industry in the world. Brazil is already the world’s largest producer of iron ore and leading exporter of beef, chicken, orange juice, sugar, coffee, and tobacco. China has replaced the US as Brazil’s leading trade partner. Brazilian’s contend that their size can match China’s dragon-like appetite and they need Brazil to fulfill the Chinese needs. Batista, with Chinese investment, with interests in mining, transportation, oil, and gas is building a huge super port complex north of Rio that will accommodate the world’s largest tankers and speed delivery of iron ore and other resources to Asia. Commodities are not all that’s driving the Brazilian boom—Brazil has a substantial manufacturing base and a large auto industry. The world’s third largest aircraft manufacturer also resides in Brazil. Batista says that the one thing Brazil needs more of is skilled labor—more engineers to which he now must import from America. He indicates that Brazil is walking into a phase of almost full employment with the creation of 1.5 million jobs in one year.

 Brazil has seen periods of prosperity before–only to have the bubbles burst. Brazil spent billions in the 50s and 60s moving its capital to Savannah where it built the futuristic city Brazilia. Brazil then borrowed billions more to develop the county’s interior. Corruption then led to a financial collapse–2000 % inflation and the largest financial rescue package in the history of the international monetary fund. Lula, as President of Brazil, a metal worker with a 4th grade education, receives much credit for turning the country around. Lula, in an interview, indicates that Brazil was a capitalist country without capital. He asserts that Brazil needed a metal worker with socialist views to bring more money for banks, more sales for car companies, and more money to the workers. When asked how? Lula says the success of an elected official is in the art of doing what is obvious—what everyone knows needs to be done but some insist on doing differently. Lula recognized the separation between the rich and poor of Brazil. He gave the poor families a monthly stipend of $115 dollars just for sending their kids to school and taking them to the doctors. Such an infusion of cash helped lift 21 million out of poverty and into the lower middle class which created an untapped market of first time buyers for refrigerators and cars. Lula also encouraged growth and development by businesses but created tight banking regulations to maintain conservative fiscal policies.

 Historically, Brazil had ignored the festering slums overlooking Rio which was a staging area for street crimes, drug gangs, but now gets the attention of military police. Brazil has massive problems with infrastructure—traffic and roads. Ninety percent of the roads remain unpaved and little public transportation exists in the cities. Delays in building and renovation exist for the upcoming 2014 World Cup. Lula, in the interview, indicates that Brazil will organize the most extraordinary World Cup ever. He says that as he leaves office he told his people that they are not second class citizens–we can get things done, and we can believe in ourselves. People have started to believe—meaning that he expects his momentum to continue for the country.

  1. How is Brazil a strategic competitor?  Explain
  2. What is Brazil’s strategy? Explain.
  3. Is Brazil a hypercompetitor? Explain
  4. What impact does Brazil have on the global economy? Explain
  5. What resources, capabilities, and core competencies does Brazil have? Explain
  6. What are the stakeholders associated with Brazil’s thriving economy? Explain their significance.

Make or Buy

/in /by

Scenario:

You are the project manager on Project VIM, which is building a new printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine from various component parts. One of the component parts for the VIM product is currently available from a supplier for $115,000 for the 5,000 units you need. You took over for a prior project manager who only allocated $90,000 for this component. This means that you will exceed your project budget if you purchase the VIM component units from this supplier.

You reach out to your in-house manufacturing group and find that you can produce these 5,000 units in-house, within a time frame that fits the project timeline. The manufacturing group indicates that there is a one-time charge of $3,000 for setting up the production line. The material and labor cost will be $12 per unit if the firm manufactures the product in-house. You also learn that since this is a new set-up (which is using old equipment), the in-house manufacturing team estimates the following defects percentages, as well as the probability of those defects occurring:

Defect % 0 25 35 40
Probability of occurrence (%) 10 60 20 10

The replacement cost for defective components made in-house is $30 per defective unit.

Calculate the following (using the Excel Template linked below):

  • Total material costs
  • Expected number of defective units at each defect percentage (%)
  • Cost of replacing defective units at each defect percentage (%)
  • Material costs plus cost of replacing defective units at each defect percentage (%)
  • The probability of cost for the defect percentage (%) levels
  • Expected value of “making” components in-house

Address the following in a written essay:

  • Using the expected value, present your recommendation to make or buy the Project VIM component parts.
  • Will you need to issue a change request for additional money on your project? If so, for how much; and, if not, why not? What reasons do you think management might use to opt for the less economical choice?

Submission:

For the calculation section, complete the attached Excel template or a similar one. Post the answers in the Excel file.

For the essay submit a 2 single spaced pages including 2 peer reviewed reference and headings, introduction and conclusion where ever needed.
