MGT 5512 Case Study Analysis 2

General instructions

This test asks for your response to a situation in a published case study, "Is It Fair to Let Them Go? Using Performance Appraisal Data to Decide on Staff Cuts." You will access the case study document in your virtual course pack.

Answer the two questions below by explaining and applying relevant concepts from the course. While no credit can be expected merely for restating case facts, responses should be supported by course concepts and evidence from the case. The test is open book. You may not work with other people. Efforts to research case facts or previous case analyses are prohibited. Using materials outside the course is unnecessary, but if you choose to use them, citations and references are required. To view the evaluation criteria, see the rubric (tab below).

Responses will be evaluated (details in rubric) on the extent and quality of:

  1. Presentation of relevant course knowledge (concepts, principles, and/or good practices)
  2. Analysis of the case situation against course knowledge (e.g., by comparing/contrasting)
  3. Proposals for action that are well supported by knowledge and aligned with the analysis

The total word limit for your response is 800 words, no exceptions, to be allocated across the questions as you wish. You will upload a pdf or Word file with your response on this assignment page. Good luck.

Questions

Both questions concern performance management (PM) at Mopsy Superstore. Note that Question 1 is more focused on the design of the PM process, while Question 2 asks more about the quality of execution against that design.

  1. Based on course concepts relating to performance management (PM) processes, evaluate the effectiveness of the PM process in use at Mopsy Superstore. How well does their PM process reflect Mopsy's apparent (even if not explicit) employee value proposition? What design changes to the process would you recommend?

  2. Working with concepts introduced in Modules 5-7 of the course, what factors might explain the disparate assignment of low performance ratings at Mopsy? From the concepts presented in the course relating to learning and development, what actions could improve managers' effectiveness with Mopsy's (current or future) PM process?

Important note

  • Remember to address items A, B, and C above for each question.

16 pts

Distinguished

Extensive course content is explained with complete accuracy, and its relevance to the case situation is fully supported.

14 pts

Proficient

Considerable course content is explained mostly accurately; relevance to the case situation is shown; minor gaps or errors exist.

12 pts

Developing

Some course content is explained with uneven accuracy; relevance to the case situation is marginal; major gaps or errors exist.

10 pts

Novice

Little or no course content is explained, or accuracy or relevance is poor; concepts are unusable for analysis as presented.

Question 1, Part B

20 pts

Distinguished

Analysis is extensive, flawless, incisive; fully supported; entirely sensible and internally consistent; highly beneficial as a basis for action.

17.5 pts

Proficient

Analysis is substantial and often well supported; generally internally consistent; beneficial as a basis for action; minor errors or limitations only.

15 pts

Developing

Analysis is incomplete and only partially supported; often internally inconsistent; of some value for action, but major errors or limitations exist.

12.5 pts

Novice

Analysis is missing or is poorly supported; generally inconsistent; weak basis for action; not sensible due to severe errors and limitations.

Question 1, Part C

view longer description

16 pts

Distinguished

Proposed action is clearly specified, achievable in a reasonable time, and fully supported given the case analysis, without exception.

14 pts

Proficient

Proposed action is largely specified, mostly achievable in a reasonable time, and largely justified by the case analysis; exceptions are minor.

12 pts

Developing

Proposed action is vaguely specified, can be only partly achieved in a reasonable time, and/or is weakly supported by the case analysis.

10 pts

Novice

Proposed action is missing, generally unrealistic, and/or at odds with the case analysis; relevance to the situation in the case is limited.
