Case Study Pink Lady Apple Orchard is a small family run orchard in Red Hill, Victoria. Jacinta and Pete own the property, which includes 50 hectares of apple plantings. As the market price of apples sold to supermarkets and fruit shops has decreased in the past few years, causing business to stagnate, Pete and Jacinta have decided to use some of their apple supply to produce their own range of apple based products. They have set up a small market stall at the orchard where they sell products directly to the public. They also have a regular stand at local markets. The number of customers is growing as word of mouth spreads. In an effort to further expand they have negotiated with a number of small retailers to stock their products. Recently they also employed a systems developer, who set up a website which enables them to market their products online and sell directly to the public. In a further effort to expand sales Jacinta organised to have their products advertised on a number of ‘shopping deal’ sites. Each site charged an upfront fee of $500.00. The Pink Lady Apple Orchard’s ‘deal was advertised throughout February. The orchard offered 30% off any sale made through the deal site. After deducting a further 5% commission on sales the ‘deal’ site passed the order and the payment onto the organisation. Jacinta then processed the order and delivered the products to the customer. Jacinta hoped that by offering this deal more customers would be attracted to their products. Jacinta and Pete have always delivered goods free of charge to their wholesale customers. However, with increased sales they are concerned about the increased courier charges. Pete has decided that by charging 15% delivery charge on each retail order he can recoup all the delivery charges. As Jacinta and Pete are already busy attending to the apple orchard they have employed Ruby, a local resident, two mornings a week (8 hours) to attend to all online orders. Although the number of orders is increasing, Jacinta is concerned that maybe not all products sell well enough to continue production. She has been experimenting with different flavours and products, including a new recipe for “Spicy Apple Chips”. Maybe she should change products or delete some products. She does not want unwanted stock accumulating in the storage sheds. She believes that the ‘special deals’ she has advertised for January/February will certainly help sales, but is concerned that she has made a bad decision with regard to profitability. QUESTION:at least two clear recommendations that Jacinta and Pete can adopt. These recommendations must be drawn from the analysis that you have carried out, and must have been discussed in the body of your report.

“What incentive is there, then, to pay your dues?” the plaintiff’s attorney asked the jury. “We want the most experienced people on the streets.” How would you decide the case, if you were on this jury? What is your own judgment of Avigliano’s “hard choice?” Do you view his rationale for laying off older workers as “bad public policy” or the least harmful choice in light of economic pressures

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. (BTC) also anticipates opening 10 new stores per year for the next 5 years. The starting pay scale for Retail Salespersons ranges from $9.50 to $11.00 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 experience. BTC would like to standardize this process, to use the same testing process for Retail Salespersons throughout all current and future stores. It is also very important that the selection system be legally defensible against charges of discrimination. BTC is also concerned about problems with shrinkage in their retail stores.
Information Requested: Please prepare a report with the following information, along with rationales for each decision: • Initial task-KSA linkage, based on O*NET job analysis information • Job analysis process proposed—method(s) of job analysis chosen, number and job titles of SMEs required, and geographic locations of SMEs • Preliminary recommendations of selection tests (e.g., paper-and-pencil ability or personality tests, interviews, simulations, etc.) for use in this job title, linked to O*NET tasks/KSAs, and evidence of reliability/validity • Validation strategy recommended for each test—criterion-related (predictive or concurrent) and/or content validation, with number of individuals required for the study o How the tests assess the job-relevant KSAs • Test administration order and method for combining test information (e.g., multiple hurdle, multiple regression, etc.)
Project Start and End Dates: Big Turtle Clothiers, Inc. would like to begin this project in June of 2018 and preferably complete it by December of 2018. Decisions about bidders will be made in May of 2018.
