Kinaxis is a software company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, that sells to clients around the world. Its specialty is software for supply chain management – all the processes and relationships through which companies obtain supplies as needed and get their products to customers on time and at minimal cost. This is a sophisticated type of product, tailored to a company’s specific needs. Therefore, depends on salespeople who understands how businesses work, who listen carefully to identify needs, and who provide excellent customer service to maintain long-term business relationships. Recently, Bob Dolan, Vice President for sales at Kinaxis, needed to hire a sales team to serve clients in North America. The company had just one salesperson serving the continent, and Dolan wanted to add four more. He received about 100 resumes and wanted to select from these. He started by reviewing the resumes against job requirements and selected 20 candidates for a first round of interviews. The interview process helped Dolan cut the list of candidates in half, so he needed another way to narrow his options.

Dolan decided his next step would be personality testing. He hired a firm called Opus Productivity Solutions to administer a test called PDP ProScan to remaining 10 candidates. In addition, Dolan himself took the test and had his current sales rep do the same. The existing salesperson was doing an excellent job, so the results of his test could help Dolan and Opus pinpoint the characteristics of someone likely to succeed in sales at Kinaxis. Based an analysis of all the results, Opus created a benchmark of traits associated with success in the job. Representatives from Opus also discussed the test results with each candidate, giving each one a chance to disagree with the scores. No one did. Dolan observed that all the candidates scored high in assertiveness and extroversion – not surprising for people in sales. In addition, two of them scored above the benchmark in conformity and below the benchmark in dominance. Those results suggested to Dolan that these candidates might be so eager to please that they would be quick to give in to whatever customers requested – a pattern that could become costly for the company.

Dolan eliminated those two candidates. That meant Dolan still had eight candidates to fill four positions. He asked each one to give him the names of major accounts he or she had signed up in the previous two years. Four candidates were able to come up with three or four large clients. Those were the candidates Dolan hired. Since then Dolan says his experience with personality testing has only reinforced his belief that this selection method helps Kinaxis identify the best candidates. For Example, one sales rep had scored low on “pace”, indicating that the individual might lack the patience needed for the slow cycles required to close a sale of a complex software system. Dolan hoped the issue could be overcome if he provided enough coaching, but in fact, the sales rep sometimes behaved impatiently, annoying prospects. After three years of trying to help him grow into the job, Dolan laid him off.

The company’s commitment to careful selection is expressed on its website: “As a growing and determined company, we’re always looking for people eager to push the limits each day of what’s possible”. Kinaxis was recently named one of Canada’s top employees for young people.

Discussion questions:

1. What selection methods did Bob Dolan use for hiring salespeople? Did he go about using these methods in the best order? What if anything, would you change about the order of the methods?

(at least 1 page)       

2. Given the information gathered from the selection methods, what process did Dolan use to make his selection decision? What improvements can you recommend to this process for decisions to hire sales reps in the future? (at least 1 page)

1. Suppose the initial Brazilian real to US dollar exchange rate is 4 reals (or “reais”) to 1 US dollar. The cost to buy a specified market basket of same quality products is $500,000 in the U.S. and R$1,400,000 in Brazil. Valued in U.S. dollar terms, the market basket in Brazil costs $350,000. (This market basket cost represents the combined price of thousands of products, and so also indicates an average price for those products.)

(e) Product prices in the U.S. and Brazil have changed. Using the prices in domestic currencies

for the two countries, does the ratio of Brazilian market basket price US market basket price (brazilian market basket price/ us market basket price) move toward or away from the initial nominal exchange rate?

· For (e and j), use the (Brazilian price/US price) ratio so as to match the (Brazilian reals/US dollar) ratio.

(f) There has been a change in the amount of imports that Brazilian firms (wholesalers, retailers etc.) buy. With this change in the buying of foreign products, what happens to the supply of Brazilian reals in foreign exchange markets? (Compared to the previous period, for example.)

(g) What happens to the price (strength, value) of the Brazilian real?

(h) There has been a change in the amount of imports that American firms (wholesalers, retailers etc.) buy. With this change in the buying of foreign products, what happens to the supply of American dollars in foreign exchange markets? (Compared to the previous period, for example.)

Note: The advertising, telephone, and electricity expenses are debited to miscellaneous expense since there are no separate expense accounts provided for the same.

Which of the following scenarios would it be appropriate to use a normal approximation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion?

Select one:

A researcher wishes to find the probability that more than 60% of a sample of undergraduate students from UNC will be female. She samples the first 42 students that walk into the gym on Monday morning. The population proportion of undergraduate females at UNC is known to be 60.1%.

A researcher wishes to find the probability that less than 5% of a sample of undergraduate students from Appalachian State University will be between the ages of 25 and 34. He randomly samples 50 undergraduate students from the student database. The proportion of undergraduates between the ages of 25 and 34 is 5.3%.

A grad student at NC state wants to know how likely it is that a group of students would be made up of more than 27% graduate students. She will randomly select 38 students and ask them if they are a graduate student or an undergraduate student. The population proportion of grad students at NC state is 26.6%.

A full-time student at Fayetteville State University wants to know how likely it is that a group of students would be made up of less than 70% full-time students. She will ask 30 people that she sees parking in the parking deck if they are full-time or part-time. The population of full-time students at Fayetteville State is known to be 72%.
