Whom to Hire?

For this assignment, you will apply decision-making to the process of international human resource management as you determine which of the four final applicants to hire into a global executive position.

You are a member of the management committee of a MNE that conducts business in 23 countries. While your company’s headquarters is located in the Netherlands, your regional offices are located fairly evenly throughout the four hemispheres. Primary markets have been in the European Union and North America; the strongest emerging market is the Pacific Rim. Company executives would like to develop what they see as a powerful potential market in the Middle East. Sales in all areas except the Pacific Rim have shown slow growth over the past two years.

At present, your company is seeking to restructure and revitalize its worldwide marketing efforts. To accomplish this, you have determined that you need to hire a key marketing person to introduce fresh ideas and a new perspective. There is no one currently in your company who is qualified to do this, and so you have decided to look outside.

The job title is “Vice President for Global Marketing”; an annual salary of $250,000-$300,000, plus elaborate benefits, an unlimited expense account, a car, and the use of the corporate jet. The person you hire will be based at the company’s headquarters in the Netherlands and will travel frequently.

A lengthy search has turned up four people with good potential. It is now up to you to decide whom to hire. Although all the applicants have expressed a sincere interest in the position, it is possible that they may change their minds once the job is offered. Therefore, you must rank them in order of preference so that if your first choice declines the position, you can go on to the second, and so on.

First, read the biographies of each applicant. As you are doing this, rank each of them from 1 to 4, with 1 being your first choice, and explain your reasons for their ranking.

For your essay this week, respond to the following questions using the decisions you have made with your rankings.

1. The first section of your paper should be an overview of your rankings and reasons for your decisions.

2. Did your decision include any culturally based biases you may have—for example, feelings, personality traits, or politics in your rankings?

3. Did you make any observations that you feel would have been fully acceptable in your own culture, but were not accepted in other cultures? If so, explain.

4. What implications do you believe any of the applicant’s cultural differences would have in business dealings? In what countries or cultures?

5. What expatriate adjustments for the candidate need to be considered? How will the company handle these?

6. Explain the decision-making process you used to make your decisions.

Park L.

Park L. is currently senior vice president for marketing at a major South Korean high-technology firm. You have been told by the head of your Seoul office that his reputation as an expert in international marketing is outstanding. The market share of his company’s products has consistently increased since he joined the company just over 15 years ago. His company’s market share is now well ahead of that of competing producers in the Pacific Rim.

Park graduated from the University of Seoul and has worked his way up through the ranks. He does not have a graduate degree. In addition to his native tongue, Park is able to carry on a reasonably fluent conversation in English and has a minimal working knowledge of German and French.

Saya K.

Saya K. is a woman living in Malaysia. She began her teaching career while finishing her DBA (Doctorate in Business Administration) at the Harvard Business School and published her first book on international marketing ten months after graduation. Her doctoral dissertation was based on the international marketing of pharmaceuticals, but she has also done research and published on other areas of international marketing.

Two months after the publication of her book, Saya went to work in the international marketing department of a Fortune 500 company, where she stayed for the next ten years. She returned to teaching when Maura University offered her a full professorship with tenure, and she has been there since that time. In addition, she has an active consulting practice throughout Southeast Asia. In addition to fluency in Malay, English, and Japanese, Saya speaks and writes German and Spanish and can converse in Mandarin.

Peter V.

Peter had worked in a key position in the international marketing division of a US Fortune 100 company until the company pulled out of his country South Africa eight months ago. Peter has a long list of accomplishments and is widely recognized as outstanding in his field.

Peter has a PhD in computer science from a leading South African university and an MBA from Purdue’s Krannert School of Business.

Peter speaks and reads English, Dutch, Afrikaans, and Swahili and can converse in German.

Joe P.

Joe is currently job hunting. His former job as head of marketing for a single-product, high-technology firm—highly specialized workstations for sophisticated artificial intelligence applications—ended when the company was bought out by Texas Instruments.

Joe has both his undergraduate and MBA degrees from Stanford University. In addition, he was a Rhodes Scholar and won a Fulbright scholarship, which he used to support himself while he undertook a two-year research project on the marketing of high-technology equipment to Third World countries. In addition to his native English, Joe has a minimal command of French—which he admits he hasn’t used since his college days.

A:

At the point when you decide to examine your information utilizing a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, some portion of the cycle includes checking to ensure that the information you need to break down can be dissected utilizing a Wilcoxon marked position test. You need to do this since it is simply fitting to utilize a Wilcoxon marked position to test if your information “passes” three assumptions that are needed for a Wilcoxon marked position test to give you a legitimate outcome. The initial two assumptions identify with your investigation plan and the kinds of factors you estimated. The third suspicion mirrors the idea of your information and is the one assumption you test utilizing SPSS Statistics. These three assumptions as momentarily clarified underneath (Fay & Proschan, 2010).Assumption 1 is the dependent variable ought to be estimated at the ordinal or constant level. Instances of ordinal variables incorporate Likert things among alternate methods of positioning classes. Assumption 2 is your independent variable should comprise of two straight out, “related gatherings” or “coordinated with sets”. Related gatherings demonstrate that similar subjects are available in the two gatherings. The explanation that it is feasible to have similar subjects in each gathering is that each subject has been estimated on two events on a similar dependent variable.

Assumption 3 is the circulation of the contrasts between the two related gatherings should be symmetrical fit as a fiddle. On the off chance that the appropriation of contrasts is symmetrically molded, you can investigate your examination utilizing the Wilcoxon marked position test. By and by, checking for this presumption simply adds somewhat more opportunity to your analysis, expecting you to click a couple of more fastens in SPSS Statistics when playing out your analysis, just as think somewhat more about your information, yet it’s anything but a troublesome assignment. Be that as it may, don’t be shocked if, while dissecting your information utilizing SPSS Statistics, this supposition is disregarded. This isn’t unprecedented when working with true information instead of typical cases, which frequently just tell you the best way to complete a Wilcoxon marked position test when everything works out positively! Be that as it may, in any event, when your information bombs this suspicion, there is regularly an answer for conquering this, for example, changing your information to accomplish a symmetrically formed dispersion of contrasts or running a sign test rather than the Wilcoxon marked position test. If you are uncertain of the techniques in SPSS Statistics to test this suspicion or how to decipher the SPSS Statistics yield (Adam & Mark, 2018).

The sign test and Wilcoxon marked position test are valuable non-parametric options in contrast to the one-example and combined t-tests. A nonparametric option in contrast to the unpaired t-test is given by the Wilcoxon rank-aggregate test, which is otherwise called the Mann–Whitney test. This is utilized when the examination is made between two independent gatherings. The methodology is like that of the Wilcoxon marked position to test and comprises of three stages are Rank all perceptions in expanding significant degree, overlooking which bunch they come from. On the off chance that two perceptions have similar greatness, paying little mind to bunch, they are given a normal positioning. Include the positions in the more modest of the two gatherings (S). Assuming the two gatherings are of equivalent size, possibly one can be picked. Calculate a proper P-esteem (Whitley & Ball, 2002).

This specific test is likewise called the Wilcoxon coordinated sets test or the Wilcoxon marked position test. It is suitable for a rehashed measure plan where similar subjects are assessed under two distinct conditions, for example, with the water complication temperature analysis. It is what might be compared to the parametric matched t-test. This isn’t equivalent to the Wilcoxon rank-entirety test, which looks at two nonpaired gatherings and is identical to the parametric unpaired t-test. The Wilcoxon marked position is more remarkable than the sign test. This statistic varies from the sign test in that it considers the size of the distinction while the sign test doesn’t. It utilizes more data from the arrangements of scores than the straightforward sign test. Since it utilizes more data, it is viewed as more exact than the sign test.

B:

Assumptions of Wilcoxon:

The Wilcoxon Sign Test requires two repeated measurements on a commensurate scale, that is, that the values of both observations can be compared. If the variable is interval or ratio scale, the differences between both samples need to be ordered and ranked before conducting the Wilcoxon sign test.

The four important assumptions are below:

1.Dependent samples – the two samples need to be dependent observations of the cases. The Wilcoxon sign test assess for differences between a before and after measurement, while accounting for individual differences in the baseline.

2. Independence – The Wilcoxon sign test assumes independence, meaning that the paired observations are randomly and independently drawn.

3. Continuous dependent variable – Although the Wilcoxon signed rank test ranks the differences according to their size and is therefore a non-parametric test, it assumes that the measurements are continuous in theoretical nature. To account for the fact that in most cases the dependent variable is binominal distributed, a continuity correction is applied.

4. Ordinal level of measurement – The Wilcoxon sign test needs both dependent measurements to be at least of ordinal scale. This is necessary to ensure that the two values can be compared, and for each pair, it can be said if one value is greater, equal, or less than the other. The test of significance of the Wilcoxon test further assumes that both samples have a continuous distribution function. This implies that tied ranks cannot occur. However, if tied ranks exist in the sample a continuity correction can be calculated. It is also possible to use an exact test that relies on permutation testing. The big advantage of using permutation tests to test of significance is that it does not assume a theoretical distribution for the test value, e.g. that z is normally distributed, and thus the test do not need to make any assumptions about the variables. This requires the sample size to be > 60. SPSS offers the option to use an exact test to calculate the test of significance of Wilcoxon’s W.

Test Statistics:

The Wilcoxon signed rank test is the non-parametric of the dependent sample t test. Because the dependent samples t-test analyzes if the average difference of two repeated measures is zero, it requires metric (interval or ratio) and normally distributed data; The Wilcoxon sign test uses ranked or ordinal data; thus, it is a common alternative to the dependent samples t-test when its assumptions are not met. The test statistic for the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is W, defined as the smaller of W+ (sum of the positive ranks) and W- (sum of the negative ranks). If the null hypothesis is true, we expect to see similar numbers of lower and higher ranks that are both positive and negative (i.e., W+ and W- would be similar). If the research hypothesis is true, we expect to see more high and positive ranks (in this example, more children with substantial improvement in repetitive behavior after treatment as compared to before, i.e., W+ much larger than W-).

In this example, W+ = 32 and W- = 4. Recall that the sum of the ranks (ignoring the signs) will always equal n(n+1)/2. As a check on our assignment of ranks, we have n(n+1)/2 = 8(9)/2 = 36 which is equal to 32+4. The test statistic is W = 4. Also, we must determine whether the observed test statistic W supports the null or research hypothesis. This is done following the same approach used in parametric testing. Specifically, we determine a critical value of W such that if the observed value of W is less than or equal to the critical value, we reject H0 in favor of H1, and if the observed value of W exceeds the critical value, we do not reject H0.
