Overview

You have been tasked with developing a recruiting and hiring plan for CapraTek’s new sales representative position.

Preparation

Review the CapraTek: Candidate Selection and CapraTek: Job Analysis simulations (linked in the Resources) as well as other course resources, including O*NET Online, to support your analysis in the development of your plan.

Description

Include the following in your recruiting and hiring plan for HR leadership:

• Write a description of the job requirements. This can be a brief description based on O*Net OnLine and other resources used in your job analysis.  
• Develop the competency model for a sales representative position. Should candidates possess these competencies prior to hiring, or would they be trained after hiring?
• Analyze the current labor market for the position. 
  • You can assume any geographic location you choose for this analysis, but include where the job will be located and any demographic data for females and minorities.
• Create a selection plan for the sales representative position. Include at least five screening methods such as interviews and forms of testing. How does technology impact these screening methods?
• Assess the impact of the legal environment for CapraTek’s staffing. What role does the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures have?
• Recommend the top candidates to interview. Select three from the pool of 20 candidates within the CapraTek simulations.

Your CapraTek Recruiting and Hiring Plan should demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through the accurate communication of thoughts that support a central idea and use of correct grammar and mechanics as expected of a human resources professional.

Requirements

• References: Support your analysis with at least 2 academic, scholarly, or professional resources 
• Format: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and format.
• Length: 8–10 pages, in addition to the references page.
• Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Having a Health Care Administration Leadership Theory is essential to any health care administration leader. With a well-constructed theory, you integrate leadership perspectives into practice in order to offer solutions to health care administration problems. Also, with a visual representation of your theory, you may present another way to highlight your research with effective design and theory implementation.

For this Assignment, you complete another part of your Health Care Administration Leadership Theory based upon your understanding of leadership perspectives you have reviewed in this course. In addition, you must use a systems thinking approach in the development of your visual representation of your personal Health Care Administration Leadership Theory. 

This week you will provide a visual representation of your Health Care Administration Leadership Theory. It can be a table, schematic diagram, graph, or any other representation you choose. Please feel free to be creative. However, the focus MUST be on leadership.

Both the narrative explanation and the visual representation are included in the page count for the Assignment length. Remember, your theory can be based on those that we have examined in this course or that you have researched on your own. There is no wrong theory. What matters is the explanation of how it addresses the gap and uses systems thinking. While this does not have to be addressed now, keep in mind the last part of the Project will involve presenting a methodology that tests the developed theory empirically.

The Assignment (3–4 pages):

• Provide a narrative explanation that shows how the developed theory can close the “gap” identified in the first part of the Project.
• Explain how it incorporates systems thinking.

Support your Project with specific references to all resources and current literature used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

Activity 2: Porter’s Industry Analysis (100 points)

For this activity, you must analyze General Electric (GE) using Porter’s approach to industry analysis. Obtain annual reports and financial reports from public sources as well as trade, business, and journal articles for information. Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document in a bibliography using APA style.  (A 4-page response is required.)

Part A 

Describe GE, what the company stands for (its slogan), what makes it unique, the direction of its market, its products, and the ways in which the company’s products and strategy are integrated. Include a bibliography of at least six (6) trade or journal sources that you use for your description and the analysis which follows. 

Part B 

Discuss Porter’s approach to industry analysis in relationship to GE using all six (6) forces.

Part C  

Provide one (1) suggestion for each of the following as it relates to the future of GE: what to watch closely (threats and weaknesses), what to assess for change (opportunities), and what to maintain and build upon (strengths). Then make one (1) recommendation for GE’s next strategic move.
