Management Case Studies
Choosing Entrants Into a Management Training Program
How would you go about deciding who to select for the openings? In other words, without providing your decisions for the individual candidates, describe how you would weigh the various selection information to reach a decision.
The following table shows the prioritization of factors based on their relative weighting. As the text has often mentioned, the ability to combine trust and performance is the foundation of effective leadership (Heneman, Judge, Kammeyer-Muller, 2012). The selection of these factors also take into account the need to create a more transformational leadership approach at the store level over time. It is relatively easy to select management training program candidates who have transactional leadership styles, as this skill set is predicated on the traditional plan, organizes, lead and control paradigm of traditional management (Fuller, 1994).

Their integrity scores and in the case of Marianne, her arrest in 1995, limit their potential for advancement given the factor weighting shown in question.
Advancement in management training programs often is defined through anecdotal, often consensus-driven judgments of overall performance during the interview cycle (Fuller, 1994). Relying on more qualitative and loosely defined criterion often leads to consistent, often erroneous results in hiring and long-term management of development programs. The need for a consistent taxonomy and approach to defining qualitative and quantitative measures of performance potential are critical for the overall success of a management recruiting and development program (Heneman, Judge, Kammeyer-Muller, 2012).
Finally the development of an effective scoring and feedback system that continually evaluates how well

Entrepreneurial Approach M1 - Discussion I have always thought entrepreneurship is just about starting a business. However, it is interesting to learn that entrepreneurship is more of a mindset or a behavioural tendency as opposed to just pursuing a business idea. It is a way of thinking characterised by the desire to create or exploit opportunities, take risks, to be innovative, and to grow. This mindset applies to not only individuals,
