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.

The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

Introduction:

As an HR professional, you need to prepare expatriates for their assignments. Cross-cultural training will definitely benefit the group.

Tasks:

• Develop a synopsis of Geert Hofstede.
• Examine several key facts that led to Hofstede’s research and the validity of his Cultural Dimensions theories.
• Evaluate one of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions theories.
• Analyze how the knowledge of the Cultural Dimensions theories will assist a new expatriate assigned to this country. Select a country to apply the theory.

Prepare a 2- to 3-page paper (not counting the cover and reference pages) discussing how the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, safety laws, or other state laws might apply to the following scenario.

One of your old college roommates, Sandra, is a nurse who took a job that required her to lift 65 pounds smoothly. She was told the job had this physical strength requirement for patient safety and to ensure that teams of nurses could move patients as needed. Sandra worked for a nursing home chain that employed 900 employees.

Sandra had become pregnant and on her doctor’s advice tried to refrain from lifting 65 pounds. After she kept finding herself in situations at work that required her to do this kind of lifting, she decided to just stay home until the baby was born.

After the baby was born, Sandra went back to work, but her baby developed a medical condition that required her to see doctors frequently. Sandra didn’t have anyone else who could be a “dedicated” caregiver for her baby, so she took leave from work to tend to her child.

When Sandra’s leave was about to expire, she asked her doctor to write a note in support of extending her leave. The note wasn’t clear and suggested that the doctor thought it would be nice, but not necessary, for mother and child to be together.

Sandra’s manager told her that the nursing home wouldn’t be able to keep her job open for her any longer. However, he told her she should apply to the company again as a new-hire when she was ready to get back to work.

Your paper should address the following:

1. Discern and discuss which laws may protect Sandra based on the given facts.

2. Identify specific impediments that might inhibit Sandra from availing herself of these protections.

3. Explain if Sandra’s employer might have opened itself to legal liabilities and if so why.

This comprehensive textbook provides an introduction to collective bargaining and labor relations with a focus on developments in the United States.

The authors also compare how labor relations systems in Germany, Japan, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa compare to practices in the United States.The textbook is supplemented by a website (ilr.cornell.edu/scheinman-institute) that features an extensive Instructor’s Manual with a test bank, PowerPoint chapter outlines, mock bargaining exercises, organizing cases, grievance cases, and classroom-ready current events materials.
