If you’re sure the scheme is right for you, it’s important to keep this in mind throughout the application process. Make sure you learn Unilever’s key competencies (tellingly called ‘standards of leadership’) and take every opportunity to demonstrate your leadership potential in your application form and at interview. Answering questions on Unilever’s graduate application form Each competency and motivation question on Unilever’s graduate application form must be answered within a maximum of 250 words. For each of the questions, Unilever helpfully provides a list of additional questions you should address in your answer. It’s important to look carefully at these, because this is extra information that Unilever recruiters want from you, and which any good candidate would provide.

...Analyze the Home Depot case in the textbook and develop a response to the questions below: How would you describe the culture at Home Depot? The culture at Home Depot was a culture set primarily by the founders, Mr. Marcus and Mr. Blank. It was a culture marked by an entrepreneurial high-spiritedness and a willingness to take risk, a passionate commitment to customers, colleagues, the company, and the community, and an aversion to anything that felt bureaucratic or hierarchical. All of this led to the company’s success. Discuss the impact of the cultural change and the reaction of the employee. When the founders of Home Depot left and the new CEO Mr. Nardelli came along, employees found it hard adjusting. They felt an outsider would “GE-ize their company and culture.” The changes Nardelli brought about was dealing with immediate problems that weren’t readily apparent, shortage of experienced store & district managers as well as the challenge from Lowes, poor inventory turns, low margins, and weak cash flows. Nardelli laid out new strategies from the store, the centralized leverage buying power, reevaluation was done on store operations, detailed data transparent environment, store layout and employee training. Although Nardelli’s changes left some managers and employees resistant, and many of the top executive team left, some did see merit in his approach. Over time, attitudes slowly began to change. Nardelli’s changes and new strategies transformed Home Depot...
