3. Managers are proactively improving the employee selection process with various strategies that will ideally enhance corporate success. Some of these strategies focus on improving the quality of the individuals who apply for work, as well as those individuals who are actually hired into the organization. Other strategies target the selection process itself and seek to improve the various activities involved in proper hiring. The overriding theme of these efforts is that the staffing/selection function is a key component of an organization’s strategy because the process ideally provides highly motivated and qualified employees who can ultimately impact the financial and operational well-being of a company. Hallmark Cards is one company that emphasizes selection. It recently developed a recruiting metric called “staffing index” that enables management to track the degree to which newly hired employees are performing as expected on the job. A series of evaluations are conducted over time, and scores are compared to obtain a longitudinal perspective on the quality of the hiring decisions. United Health Group is another organization that has improved its selection activities with proper strategic planning and execution. The company’s vice president of recruitment services decided to modify hiring procedures within the organization by splitting job candidates into two basic groups. The first group of individuals was comprised of high-level professionals who would be recruited by internal staffing specialists, while the second group included various staff and line personnel who would be acquired with outsourcing contacts. This “two pronged” strategy enabled the company to save money through increased control and efficiency. These various strategic selection approaches enable companies to improve the manner in which employees are hired and placed within a hierarchy of jobs. Many other strategies could be employed in different employment situations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of selection. Overall, these efforts should increase

the degree of fit between employees and organizations and increase the completion of strategic objectives. a. Compare and contrast the two selection strategies used by the organizations discussed in the case. b. What other strategies might help organizations better utilize and manage selection activities?

Sundar wants to start a ‘C2C’ (customer to customer) model of food service. He has just passed out of his B School and the canteen food in his college was pathetic. Most of the days, he relied on Swiggy and Zomato for his meals. He realized that probably there is a need to have an option for customers to order it from home makers or families who would be interested in selling their cooked food to others. Sundar started off with his basic research and spoke to a couple of housewives who were willing. He got his B School classmate on board to design an app that would help customers order. While both started their work, he realized that there are two major problems in this service situation. The first problem off course is bringing awareness for the services and popularizing it among the people of his city. Another challenge would be to encourage home maker to enrol and encourage them to sell. This would be a major bottleneck as most of the deliveries would be following a specific timeline and unavailability of a home maker would cost the delivery and customer. The second problem was the area of operations. The city in which he plans to operate is big, with lots of offices and student population. He chose on the student’s category primarily as his primary targeted audience. However, Sundar did not have any hard data to support his stand. Sundar therefore came up with three value propositions for his business.  Good quality food for students at a reasonable price.

 Good discounts for students who are adopting a long-term association with his food service company.  Encourage home makers by providing them with the flexibility of number of days they would want to work, a wonderful incentive plan, pick up from their home, faster settlement of their accounts and training to pack and promote their food. Sundar is now charged up to get things in place and start off the venture as early as possible. He now needs to start working on the logistics, operations, service quality etc. a. Does Sundar have all the information needed to choose students as the segment? Is he right with his decision? If you are his friend, what segments would you suggest and why? b. Is Sundar, approaching the issue of service offering, too quickly? Do you feel he needs to invest some more time designing the offering, as it could be more complex and deeper than what it apparently looks like?

There’s another one!” Cameron Burke’s son said, pointing to a darkened streetlight across the park. “But it’s out too!” Cameron regretted having started this game with his fouryear- old. His company, Lumiscape, produced smart, connected

streetlights, which had been installed in cities throughout the United States— including Cleveland, where they were now, visiting his parents. He and Graham had decided to squeeze in a walk to Forest Hill Park before bedtime, and he’d challenged the boy to count all the lights he could find. But they’d already seen three that weren’t working properly. Even my hometown can’t get our products right, Cameron thought as he chased Graham over to the playground. He always vowed to stop obsessing about work when he was with his son, but it was a losing battle. Lumiscape was six years old. Cameron had founded it with the idea of building an LED streetlight that would use a mobile signal to notify public works departments when the bulb needed to be replaced. He’d been an aide to the mayor of Philadelphia at the time—his first job after graduating from Villanova— and knew well how much time city workers spent documenting and following up on complaints about broken lights. But Cameron also had a bigger vision: Lumiscape’s products were designed to gather all sorts of data, including humidity, motion, and seismic activity, and—most important— UVA, UVB, and ambient light so that they could save electricity by dimming when appropriate. The innovative system promised to reduce local governments’ energy consumption and maintenance costs and improve their image with constituents. a.
