Doris Washington recently assumed her new position as HR Director at the XYZ Company, a software development firm with approximately 350 employees.  Her staff includes a seasoned generalist as well as a benefits clerk.  During her first 90 days on the job, Doris has noted the following issues that seem to be embedded in XYZ’s culture: managers create their own interview questions; for some employees, their compensation is simply determined by managers, not based on training, experience, geographic region, and so on; and the company seems to draw new employees from only two sources, one is the university from which the President of the company graduated.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Doris has been contemplating these trends, the CEO has asked her to attend a strategic planning meeting about opening the company’s first location on in Toronto, Canada in approximately nine months. She needs to provide a strategic recommendation to the CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n
