Assignment: A Growing Small Business

Imagine that a friend shares with you that he/she has a small but rapidly growing business which is in need of an HR department. He has asked you to be the HR Manager. Your friend mentioned that he / she previously worked with an HR consultant, but now has close to 100 employees with no definite, dedicated HR department, and really needs your assistance. Although you are nervous, you realize that it's now time for you to show your skills and put all your years of studying into action.

Select an existing small company in an industry you are familiar with to be the basis of the small business in this case. Review the company's structure, culture, business strategy, mission, and vision.

Hint: Review the common business strategies of Cost Leadership, Differentiation and Focus or Niche on p. 50 of your text.

2.Design a human resource management strategy to support your selected company's business strategy. Explain the competitive advantage of your HRM strategy. Hint: Review the following common human resource management strategies of Loyal Soldier, Bargain Laborer, Committed Expert and Free Agent from previous courses.

3.Develop an HR Scorecard table for your selected company. Include the four dimensions (i.e., financial, customer service, internal process, and learning / growth / sustainability). Next, assess the value of your proposal to the small business in each of these dimensions. Hint: Review the video titled "Building the Human Resources Performance Measurement Scorecard" (4 min 1 s) located at for additional guidance in creating an HR Scorecard.

4.Use at least three quality academic resources in this assignment from within the past five years. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.
