This Midterm Exam will be available by 12:01 am (et) on the Monday of Module/Week 4 & will be due by 11:59 pm (et) on Sunday of that module/week.

You can answer the Midterm Exam as many times as you want throughout the week. If you don’t plan on finishing it in one sitting then I recommend writing down your answers in a separate document and saving those answers until you are ready to finally submit your midterm exam. Don’t expect to  save a somewhat completed exam and expect those answers be there if you access the exam again. You don’t have to finish it the first time you take it but if that’s the case make sure all your answers are saved in another document that you can use to submit the final time.

If you have any technical problems during the exam, submit a help ticket via the Services/Support menu item.

This exam must be completed by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday.

Instructions   
Time limit: Submit by Sunday 11:59 pm (et) of Module/Week 4
5 short answer/essay questions
Open-book/open-notes

The company cannot afford this level of pay, and furthermore, paying that much would cause salespeople to earn more than most of the companys managers. Why is this a problem? Should managers automatically be at the top of the pay scale? Suggest three possible measures the company might take to help resolve this conflict

Fewer than one-third of respondents to a survey say their company is prepared for the future. Even among the top companies, only 27% say they have employees prepared for openings in the executive ranks, and only 18% are ready to fill management positions at lower levels. About one-third (34%) say their organization develops leaders effectively. What competitive advantages could a skilled HR manager deliver at an organization committed to improving its talent management?
