(c) If Arturo’s management uses market segmentation to target this print ad, what is the segmentation variable it should use? Explain your reasoning. (d) Design an experiment to test whether or not this print ad is effective. Describe the test group and the control group of the experiment, and describe the time course of events. What is the dependent variable in your experiment? Explain why both the test group and the control group are necessary for this experiment to have validity.

Project Title: Development of pre-employment selection testing for entry-level Retail Salespersons in retail clothing stores.

Scope of Project: The entry-level Retail Salesperson position is responsible for selling the popular “Big Turtle” clothing and merchandise at their retail stores. There are approximately 50 retail stores located throughout the Southeast region, employing over 600 Retail Salespersons. Currently, turnover for this title is averaging 50% annually. Big Turtle Clothiers, Inc. also anticipates opening 10 new stores per year for the next 5 years. The starting pay scale for Retail Salespersons ranges from $8.50 to $10.00 per hour, depending on the location, with health benefits provided after 6 months of employment. Retail Salespersons also receive a 15% discount on all “Big Turtle” clothing and merchandise.

At present, there is no formal pre-employment selection testing for this job title. Candidates are screened using application forms developed by the individual stores, with preference given to candidates with prior retail or customer-service work experience. It is desirable that the same testing process for Retail Salespersons be used throughout all of our current and future stores. It is also very important that the selection system be legally defensible against charges of discrimination. Big Turtle Clothiers is also concerned about problems with shrinkage in their retail stores.

Validation strategy recommended for each test—criterion-related (predictive or concurrent) and/or content validation, with number of individuals required for the study
Job performance criteria, if a criterion-related strategy is chosen (e.g., absenteeism, performance ratings, etc.)
How the tests assess the job-relevant KSAs
Test administration order and method for combining test information (e.g., multiple hurdle, multiple regression, etc.)
