1. Customers

Who are the current customers/users? Include information related to demographics, psychographics and buying behavior, price sensitivity, customer satisfaction and loyalty.

For example: You could include information such as whether the brand is trying to appeal to a certain social or cultural group and how customers perceive the product/brand.

Additionally, you can discuss psychographic information which includes those attributes that relate to personality, values, attitudes, interests, or lifestyles of people. This area is also related to situational life stages as well as customer beliefs, and how customers want to see themselves and be perceived. Some examples of psychographic groups include video gamers, soccer moms, sports fanatics, hipsters, and single moms. Life cycle stages include: retirees, new homeowners, college students and new parents. Be aware that some products/brands may appeal to a wider customer base than others.

Describe the business process that you have selected, as you did in the  discussion. Clearly state:

/in /by

You will select the process you will use in this Assignment. You will prepare the

foundation for your project by identifying a real-world organization that would

benefit from applying the business process management (BPM) model in the

workplace. You may select the organization where you currently work OR where

you previously worked. If possible, you should strive to choose an organization and

process that you have knowledge about. If you select an organization that you do

not have direct contact with, be sure you can gather sufficient information (via a

library, the Internet, or by interview) about the organization and its operations.

 

It is important to select a process that will provide a good basis for applying the

various phases that you will be learning. To get a better understanding of what is

coming up, it is recommended that you carefully read the two and a half page

summary of the 10 phases that starts on page 106 and ends on page 109(See attachments below). This may give you an idea of what type of questions you will be asking about the process you select. If you have any issues trying to open the attachments, Please, let me know ASAP.

 

For this Assignment, write a paper that includes the following components (use the

subheadings below):

 

Organization

 

Identify and provide details regarding the organization for which you will be

presenting information about the BPM model. Include the company name, location,

size, and primary business area (What does the business do?). Also, describe

what connection you have to the organization, if any. If not, explain how you will

gather information about their operations.

 

Process 

 

Describe the business process that you have selected, as you did in the

discussion. Clearly state:

1. The objective of the process.

2. The scope (Where the process begins and ends).

3. A brief description of those involved.

 

In order to ensure the process you select is rich enough to support this project;

your answer to the items in the following checklist must be “yes.” Briefly explain

each item:

 

● Significance: Does this process have some strategic significance or a

significant impact on the operations of the organization?

● Scope: Does this process have various stakeholders, in addition to multiple

people involved in its execution?

● Clarity: Is it possible to identify and list the steps in this process, from

beginning to end?

● Outcomes: Are there specific goals and deliverables associated with this

process that can be listed and measured?

 

Justification

 

1) Why should the company undertake a BPM project on this process (what

are some triggers)?

2) How can this business or organization benefit the BPM model?

Grading note: In the grading rubric there is a section on analysis and

critical thinking. The points in this section will partly be based on your ability to

apply the concepts discussed in your Assignment to the specific circumstances

and details of the process/organization you selected. Writing in general terms,

without applying the concepts and analyzing your specific project, may get me

points in the content section, but will lose points in the analysis section.

 

Assignment Requirements:

>Cover page, “Discussion”(3 pp.), and Reference page=5 pages.(Nothing less then 5 pages!)

>Provide the required information about the organization of choice

>Provide the required information about the selected process

>Provide the required information about the justification

>Reponse must demonstrate critical thinking and exhibite application of information

>Clear business writing: spelling and grammar must be acceptable and effective use of APA. FOLLOW the required format and instructions.

What kind of relationship exists between employees’ scores on the manual dexterity test and their performance ratings? 

/in /by

Write an essay on the following:

 

•         What kind of relationship exists between employees’ scores on the manual dexterity tests and their performance rating?

 

•         Suppose a candidate scored 44 on the manual dexterity test.  The regression equation predicting job performance using the manual dexterity test is 32.465 + (1.234 x Manual Dexterity Test Score).
What is the candidate’s predicted job performance?

 

•         Assume that only candidates with predicted performance above 85 are to be hired.  This translates to
a score of at least 43 on the manual dexterity test.  Assume only those with scores above 43 were hired (20 of the 30 people in this sample).  Would the use of this test have led to evidence of adverse impact based on sex or race?  The relevant data on the 20 people exceeding the cutoff are presented in the case study on page 226.

 

•         Given the validity results you found, would you recommend use of this test as a selection device?
If so, how would you use it?

 

 

 

Job Aid

 

Here are some tips to help:

 

1.  What kind of relationship exists between employees’ scores on the manual dexterity test and their performance ratings?

 

2.  Suppose a candidate scored 44 on the manual dexterity test. The regression equation predicting job performance using the manual dexterity test is:

 

32.465 + (1.234 ´ Manual dexterity test score)

 

What is the candidate’s predicted job performance?  (Find the MEAN manual dexterity test score from the table. Multiply the numbers in parenthesis and add to the first number)

 

 

 


3.  Assume that only candidates with predicted job performance above 85 are to be hired. This translates to a score of at least 43 on the manual dexterity test. Assume only those with scores above 43 were hired (20 of the 30 people in this sample). Would the use of this test have led to evidence of adverse impact based on sex or race? The relevant data on the 20 people exceeding the cutoff are above in Table B.

 

The hiring rate for females is 81.25% (13 hired out of 16 or 13/16=.8125). This is the highest proportion hired of any group of candidates.

 

According to the 4/5ths (also called the 80% rule), the hiring rate for any other groups (males in this case) should be at least 4/5 (80%) of the hiring rate for the group with the highest proportion hired.

 

.8 (80%) x .8125(hiring rate for females) = .65(65%).

 

The hiring rate for males is 50%,(7 hired out of 14 or 7/14=.50)  which is less than 65%. Thus, there is evidence for adverse impact against males because men were hired at a proportionally lower rate. Now use this same process to compare the Hispanic, Caucasian, and African American groups.
