As you analyze your assigned company, you should understand how competitive forces shape corporate strategy. A typical way for an organization to strategically analyze these factors is to conduct a five forces analysis of their organization. Corporate leadership can use this tool, to successfully analyze and identify a clear sense of the organization’s strategic vision. This focus is important because of the requirement for improved business understanding in a rapidly changing global environment. Some of the main strategic management questions asked are, where is the organization now, and where will the organization be 1, 3, 5, or even 10 years from now? Moreover, where will the organization be if no business changes are made? While looking at these questions, leadership must not only take action (especially if the answers are unacceptable), but also weigh the risks and payoffs. Smaller businesses may engage in strategic management to ensure that they adapt to trends and external changes such as globalization.

By definition, strategic management is a process in which an organization develops and implements plans that promote the goals and objectives of that particular organization. The overall process of strategic management is continuous, and it changes as the organizational goals and objectives evolve. The strategic management process begins when executives evaluate their current position with respect to the company’s mission, goals, and strategies. Managers then scan the organization’s internal and external environments and identify strategic issues that may require change. Internal or external events may indicate a need to redefine the mission or goals or to formulate a new strategy at the corporate, business, or functional level. The final stage in the strategic management process is execution of the new strategy. It is now time to take an analytical look at the forces and structure that shape effective strategic decision-making.

HCM 3400: HR Manager Interview Instructions

The purpose of the management interview is to provide the student with an opportunity to learn about human resource management first-hand from a health care practitioner who is working the field. The interview should cover the breadth of information from the class, including the human resource manager’s background, understanding of HR management, management style, duties, supervisory responsibilities, HR management responsibilities, etc.

A sample list of questions will be provided. The questions should, however, be modified to fit the particular person being interviewed.
You will need to identify a human resource manager within a health care organization to interview. This person should not be your boss or someone at your current place of employment. The idea is to select an organization that will provide a new and different perspective, as well as a learning experience for the student.
You will need to arrange a time to conduct the interview, and prepare for, conduct and follow-up after the interview.
The interview must be in person, i.e., no telephone, e-mail, etc. A large learning component of this assignment is found in completing the interview in person.
It is assumed the report will draw on materials from class discussions, the text, and other sources as appropriate. This must be evident in your report.
As part of your grade, a hand-written thank you letter must be sent to the person you interviewed. No emails! Please make a copy of the thank you letter/card prior to sending it as you will need to include a copy in your paper.
The report should be 3 – 5 pages in length double-spaced. The report should be written in ESSAY format NOT question/answer format.
The appendices, such as the thank you note and reference page, will not count towards the 3 – 5 page limit.
An APA reference page will be required with minimum references of the interview citation and our textbook citation.
Approval of interviews must be obtained including: a written abstract of who will be interviewed, name of the organization, questions you plan on asking, the location of the organization, and when the interview is scheduled. The abstract will be due in Module #3. Papers submitted on interviews that have not been approved will not be accepted.
The HR Manager Interview report must be submitted through www.paperrater.com OR MSU Denver’s Writing Center for critique and editing.
Only the report needs to be submitted, not the abstract or thank you note.
You will be provided feedback or be given a marked-up draft if you visit MSU Denver’s Writing Center.
Please note any critique takes time. For example, Paper Rater takes 24-48 hours turnaround time. Therefore, you will need to submit your draft to Paper Rater a minimum of 5 days prior to the due date in order for you to receive the feedback and make necessary revisions to your report prior to submitting it to me. If you utilize MSU Denver’s Writing Center, be sure to allow sufficient time to make an appointment, complete the appointment, make the revisions to your paper, and submit the assignment on time.
Please include the feedback report in your appendices section of the report. You can do this by saving the feedback as a file and inserting the file into the appendices section of your paper. If you go to the Writing Center, you will need to scan the feedback document, save the file, and then insert it into the assignment document, appendices section.
As mentioned, you need to send a thank you note to the person you interviewed. NO e-mail thank you notes are allowed! You must send a handwritten thank you note! Prior to mailing the thank you note be sure to scan it so you can include a copy in the assignment document.
Remember, I want this assignment submitted as one document…. Not multiple attachments.
