...primary and back-up candidate for the post of production manager. The Pittsburgh plant has been trying to hire a new production manager to replace the former Pittsburgh production manager. We have received a number of applications for this post both internally and externally. However after an initial screening, the list of potential candidates has been reduced to eight names. Apart from the interviewing process, the eight potential candidates were subjected to several selection devices for testing both their soft and hard skills. Of the eight potential candidates, my recommendation is to consider George martin as a primary candidate for the post and Jay Davis as a back-up candidate. Mr. Martin is a MA degree holder in industrial relations from Cornell University. He has 14 years of experience of which 6 years in the capacity of production manager. His personality and interview rating was amongst the highest and his intelligence test score was above average. Mr Martin works for one of Dynamo’s competitors and therefore it was difficult for him to provide references as he is concerned about his current employer reaction. Having said that, it is imperative to find out if there is a non-competition agreement that could prevent him from joining us. At this critical stage Pittsburgh plant is going through, I strongly believe that Mr. Martin’s qualification and experience is needed to control the extremely high production cost and labour strife. Further, hiring Mr. Martin externally...

...Management Education In a churning global marketplace, understanding the fundamental connections between business, the environment, and society has become essential. The roles and responsibilities of business as a global force are becoming more urgent and complex, and concepts related to societal responsibility and sustainability are gaining recognition as essential elements in business management. Increasing complexity and interdependence require new approaches. Companies need integrative management tools that help embed environmental, social, and governance concerns into their strategic thinking and daily operations. They need support as they internalize and integrate these issues into the core of businesses, engage in dialogue with stakeholders, and report their conduct. They require talented and ethical leaders who can not only advance organizational goals and fulfill legal and fiduciary obligations to shareholders, but who are also prepared to deal with the broader impact and potential of business as a positive global force in society. Any meaningful and lasting change in the conduct of corporations toward societal responsibility and sustainability must involve the institutions that most directly act as drivers of business behavior, especially academia. Academic institutions help shape the attitudes and behavior of business leaders through business education, research, management development programs, training, and other pervasive, but less tangible, activities, such as...

...Succession Plan Risks HRM 420 Mr. Cardillo January 25, 2016 Quest Diagnostics Succession planning is "a strategy for passing each key leadership role within a company to someone else in such a way that the company continues to operate after the incumbent leader is no longer in control" (Investopedia, 2016). Quest Diagnostics is "passionate about developing innovative, ground-breaking tests, products and tools to enhance patient care, provide value to our clients, and transform information into knowledge and insights" (Quest Diagnostics, 2000-2015).

It should also provide an identification of your specific short- and long-term career objectives, an explanation of your decision to pursue this degree at this point in your life, a description of your specific interest in the Olin Business School, and any other information that would help inform the Admissions Committee of your qualifications for our program.

I have spent considerable time to understand the textile market and now I am able to identify key areas for business growth and process improvements. I spotted the market for scarves and enabled my company’s foray into the product. I helped my earlier textile company which only sold fabrics to venture into garment manufacturing. I also enabled the setting up of processes and systems that improved our sales processes. Experiences such as these have honed my operational, marketing, leadership, and interpersonal skills.

...Qualifications As a 1st year MBA student undergoing the recruitment process, I have constantly dealt with the dilemma of determining the fine line between lying and embellishing. Often times, given the scarcity of jobs, candidates are obliged to exaggerate their skills. With predefined skills and experiences that companies look for, previous job descriptions are modified to reflect the traits that are sought after. Furthermore, the MBA setting where people seek to switch careers further aggravates the issue. The only way to gain an edge over others would be to add activities and experiences that may either be exaggerated or fictional. It may be argued that it is not lying, but when drawing a line between truth and falsehood, it is definitely defined as a lie. Given such definition, David Edmondson’s case seems to be contradicting the practice that is widely accepted in the industry. We do not see people getting fired for exaggerating their previous experiences nor do we see one’s resume come into light after years of working in the company. Once in the company, employees are measured by their performance and credibility that they built while working in the organization. Mr. Edmondson’s case is counter intuitive to this idea as he was forced to quit even though his performance was stellar during his tenure. In order to determine the ethicality of the case, it is essential to look at two time frames – 1. Time when Mr. Edmondson joined RadioShack in 1994 2. Time when Mr. Edmondson got fired...
