Case Incident: WHAT DOES DIVERSITY TRAINING TEACH?
Case Incident: WHAT DOES DIVERSITY TRAINING TEACH?

1. Do you think representation in top management is a fair indicator of the effects of diversity training programs? Why or why not?
Ans. Yes I think representation in top management is a fair indicator of the effects of diversity training programs. “Diversity programs are truly effective in improving representation in management. They include strategies to measure the representation of women and minorities in managerial positions, and they hold managers accountable for achieving more demographically diverse management teams.”
2. Why might one-shot diversity training programs be ineffective?
Ans. There is no strong representation of management in one-shot diversity training programs which make training program ineffective. Moreover one-short diversity program does not have any strategies. Organizations that provided diversity training were not consistently more likely to have women and minorities in upper management positions than organizations that did not which makes training ineffective. One-shot training sessions without strategies to encourage effective diversity management back on the job are not likely to be very effective.
3. What significant obstacles must be overcome to make diversity programs effective?
Ans. Well it is certainly clear that there should be strong representation of management to make diversity programs effective. Proportionally not representation of employees in top management is a significant obstacle which be overcome to make diversity programs effective. Selection system should be more transparent. Providing training for employees who have not had adequate exposure to certain material in past is a significant obstacle. Ineffective communication of organization policies and practices leads to ineffective diversity programs which is a significant obstacle.
4. How could you design more effective diversity programs?
Ans. My effective diversity program involves strong representation of management along with employees. My diversity program teach “the legal framework for equal employment opportunity and encourage fair treatment of all people regardless of their demographic characteristics.” Program teaches “how a diverse workforce will be better able to serve a diverse market of customers and clients.” My effective diversity program designed for “foster personal development practices that bring out the skills and abilities of all workers, acknowledging how differences in perspective can be a valuable way to improve performance for everyone.”

Actions recommend regarding the purchase/implement of the RFID system

- Analyze the need: Analyze the main need for implementation of RFID. Is the intent to track product movement from supply through distribution? Is there any need involves locating the right product at the right time? Is there any need to track materials in production and through manufacturing process so you can deliver finished products to customers sooner and at a lower defect rate? If Yes the answer to these questions then I would recommend to implementation of RFID system, So that all this process will be easy with RFID tags.
- Type of the tag: Choosing the type of the tag will play key role in purchase and implementation of RFID system. Whether the type of the tags needed are read only, read and write only, less memory, more memory will decide the price of the tag. Read only and less memory are comparatively less price than read and write, and more memory. If there is need to save more data of the product them we need to select read and write with more memory which will increase cost of tag. Size and Shape will also important in selection of RFID tag. If size of the tag was not optimized with product it will gave odd view of the product to the costumer. The shape of the tag also should be optimized so that it will be easy to place the tag on product.
- Position of the tag: Position of the tag is very important in implementation of RFID system. If the tag was placed on the product at an improper position then it will be difficult to read the tag when the products are in pallet. Position of the tag will helpful in design of pallet so that any item in the pallet will be read by readers. It is very challenge to tag water based products and metal based products as water observes and metal reflects.
- Performance of the tag : While implementation of RFID system considering performance of the tag is very important. The tag should able to perform guarantee read at any point of time. Generally high bandwidth tags will provide guarantee read. If the product is needed to be read while in the moving wan, then then readers and tags should also have a capability to perform well in such conditions.
- Placement of readers: It is important to place the readers at particular position with a fixed area of readability. So that there will be no collision between readers, than there will be no false data.
- Backup plan : Always have a backup plane. If any up predicted suctions happens it is important to have a backup plan. It would be very useful if the backup plan can access the database of RFID system.

1. Is it fair for organizations to require minimum score on standardized tests such as the SAT? Why or why not?
Ans. It is not fair for the organizations to require minimum scores on standardized tests such as the SAT. SAT is not designed to measure job performance, and the kind of person who performs well on the SATs is not necessarily the kind of person who will perform well sitting at her desk.
2. As a recruiter choosing between two individuals with different SAT scores, would you have difficulty giving the job to the applicant with the lower score? On what additional factors might you choice depend?
Ans. As a recruiter I did not have any difficulty in giving the job to the applicant with the lower SAT score among two individuals with different SAT scores. My choice depends on model of selection process in organization. In substantive selection, I will choose the one who did best on the performance test. In performance test I will mainly see three major types of behavior that constitute performance at work: Task performance, citizenship, counterproductivity. My choice will be also based on written test, interviews, drug test, and background check.
3. What other indicators of job performance, besides SAT scores, could you use to screen job applications? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Ans. Beside SAT scores, GPA, Basic literacy skills, Technical skills, interpersonal skills, and problem-solving skills will other indicators of the job performance. Basic literacy skills will be an advantage to do typical workplace tasks. Lack of basic literacy skills means there is almost no hope of competing in a global economy. By having technical skills it will be a good advantage, so that employee will have new technology and new structural designs in the organization. Without good technical skills it will be difficult to competing with others. By having interpersonal skills, employee can effectively interact with their co-workers and boss. Without interpersonal skills listening, communicating, and team building will not possible. Problem-solving will sharpen employee’s logic, reasoning, and problem defining skills as well as their abilities to assess causation, develop and analyze alternatives, and select solutions.
4. Suppose you worked at a company that used SAT sources for hiring purposes. How would you handle diverse applicants, such as those from a foreign country who may not have taken SAT?
Ans. I will try to use other measures of cognitive ability, such as college grades, which are also more recent indicators than SAT scores. I will use various types of selection method tests such as written test, performance-simulation tests, and interviews. To reduce the of performance-simulation test I will use situational judgment tests, which ask applicants how they would perform in a variety of job situations and compare their answers to those of high-performance employees. Situational judgment tests have shown impressive and may be more objective than assessment centers.
Case Incident: GOOGLE AND P&G SWAP EMPLOYEES
Case Incident: GOOGLE AND P&G SWAP EMPLOYEES

1. Do you think the employee swap between Google and P&G is a good idea for all companies? Why or why not? Why do so few companies do this?
Ans. I don’t think the employee swap between Google and P&G is good idea for all companies. It may be a good idea between companies which have difference in there Organizational Culture and need of other organization to achieve some sort of goal. Swap of the employee between companies should benefit both companies. If the employees are swapped between companies without mutual benefit for just learning organizational culture, may not allow employee to learn other organizational culture without serving the other organization. Swapping the employees between similar type of organization may reduce competitive advantage between those companies, so very few companies only do this.
2. One of the reason P&G and Google agreed to the swap was to transmit the best aspects of the other company’s culture to their own. Drawing from this chapter, describe how culture might be transmitted in such swaps.
Ans. The culture is transmitted to employee in a number of forms, the most important being stories, rituals, material symbols, and language.
Stories : “Stories circulate through many organizations. They typically contain a narrative of events about the organization’s founders, rule breaking, rag-to-riches successes, reductions in the workforce, relocation of employees, reactions to past mistakes, and organizational coping. These stories anchor the present in the past and explain and legitimate current practices.”
Rituals: Repetitive sequences of activities that express and reinforce the key values of the organization, which goals are most important, which people are important, and which are expendable.
Material Symbols : What conveys to employees who is important, the degree of egalitarianism top management desires, and kinds of behavior that are appropriate.
Language : “Many organizations and subunits within them use languages to help members identify with the culture, attest to their acceptance of it, and help preserver it. Unique terms describe equipment, officers, key individuals, suppliers, customers, or products that related to the business.
3. Which culture– Google’s or P&G –do you think would fit you best? Why?
Ans. Organizational Culture of P&G is notoriously controlled, disciplined, scalable, and rigid. Organizational Culture of Google’s is just as famous for its laid-back, unstandardized, free-flowing culture. Both are different organizations with different culture with fits for they business style. Its like reaching final destination success via two different routs P&G or Google. I personally feel organizational culture of Google will fit best for me as it has laid-back, unstandardized, free-flowing culture. Free-flowing culture allows me to socialize me well with organization.
4. Would you enjoy an employee swap with a company with a very different culture? Why or why not?
Ans. Yes I would enjoy an employee swap with a company with a very different culture. By exposing both companies employees to a culture that emphasizes innovation, but in a wholly different way, each company can push their own innovations even further. Both companies can learn how to utilize other company and improve their organization.
