CompTech is a large computer products retailer and the company is looking to expand the company. However, the company is having significant problems in the hiring process for store managers as well as a problem retaining store managers working for the company. In the description given, it appears that the only specifications for the store manager position is the candidate must have a MBA degree or at least three years’ experience as a store manager. Normally, a job listing has multiple specifications listed in the job description to ensure that only the most qualified apply for the job. “Preparing job descriptions can help an organization clarify what it really wants to accomplish while at the same time letting the potential employee understand …show more content…
the expectations of the job (Marino, 2005, p. 26). CompTech did not consider all aspects of creating the job specifications and the job description is lacking a lot of the required qualities of the potential employee. Based on the job specifications, the validity of these specifications differ.
While a MBA degree is a great degree to obtain, a person who just received the degree may not have any on the job experience as a store manager. A MBA degree has prepared the individual how to analyze and lead the organization, but has not prepared the degree holder how to carry out those skills in a job setting. Job the job experience is important in CompTech’s situation because the company has a lot of positions to fill and hiring someone with experience may be the better route just because the employee will not require as much training. However, everyone has a difference of opinion so I would compare MBA degree store managers to the store managers who have at least three years’ experience in terms of his/ her individual performance as well as his/ her specific store performance. The performance analysis will be a useful tool to determine how well one manager is doing in comparison to the other. This analysis would give insight into which manager is more effective in terms of production and which manager is a better fit for CompTech. Therefore, the analysis would help CompTech decide which job specifications are essential for the work environment the company is trying to
promote. Also, CompTech should look into promoting with the organization to fill the store manager positions. In my opinion, it would be easier to fill the lower level positions within the organization than it would be to fill the higher, upper management positions. Employees who have worked for the company for several years should be considered for the job because he/ she is already familiar with the company and what the company expects out of him/ her. If an employee has proven to be a great employee throughout the years and has the intelligence to be the store manager, the company should considering promoting with the organization. “An important aspect of promotion is to assign employees at higher levels in the company based on their ability” (Graner and Moers, 2013, p. 1188). I am sure CompTech has some employees that have worked within the company for several years and have the qualifications and resume to become store manager, so why not give him/ her a chance? The employees within the company want to feel they are working for a company that recognizes his/ her hard work and gives every employee the change to reach higher levels within the company. Also, promoting employees within the organization to be store managers, would help the company save money on training new employees the basic concepts of CompTech. Therefore, the management at CompTech need to make the job specifications very specific and detailed for the store manager position and consider promoting from within the organization, which would also improve employee satisfaction and employee loyalty.

Recruitment questions for large operational startups include, what are the jobs, how is the employment market today, what is our competition locally providing, how can we get the best talent and finally how to do we retain them. The challenge for the Borgata was multi-faceted, a tight labor market in the surrounding area, a small local population of 40,517 of which only 63% where capable of working and the need for 5000 workers to staff the hotel in short time. (US Census Bureau. 2012). To compound the challenge the quality expectation was high, the “best of best” was required.

Computers have changed our lives in many many different ways. We do a lot of things from computers and our portable devices such as get music, watch videos, pay bills, order dinner, keep connected with friends on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter, take college classes online, and many other things that I could make a 5 page list of all the things it can help us do straight from home but that would bore you to death. Now that I have told you how computers have changed our lives and how they are used in daily life let me tell you the importance of the people working in computers and IT. These people are very important because without them who would you go to for help with your computer, make sure your information is safe, get viruses off your computer and keep it safe for kids from being attacked? That’s right you wouldn’t be able to do any of this. That’s why they’re there when you need it.
In modern day business, there can be so many pressures that can cause managers to commit fraud, even though it often starts as just a little bit at first, but will spiral out of control with time. In the case of WorldCom, there were several pressures that led executives and managers to “cook the books.” Much of WorldCom’s initial growth and success was due to acquisitions.
