Assignment: Human resource

You just received notification that you have been selected by Nike as one of their top interns for this Summer: Congratulations! (Obviously you accepted.) They are paying all expenses (housing, transportation, food, etc.) plus $1,000 per week for 15-weeks at the Headquarters in Oregon. In addition, based on the success of your performance, there will be a full time offer extended to you upon graduation.

Your first assignment is to assist in developing a training program for a specific employee being assigned to a three year assignment as a Senior Manager with Nike at their Shanghai, China location. (A test/treatment/vaccination has been successfully discovered/implemented for the coronavirus.) This employee has been with Nike for 6-months, she is their new superstar, she leaves for China on June 1, and begins her work assignment (in the Shanghai office) on June 8.

Details on the employee/family:

• United States citizen

• At 6'5" she was ranked as one of the top ten, best, tallest players during her career in the WNBA

• She has traveled outside of the United States twice (Canada and Mexico-less than one week each, to play in WNBA basketball exhibition games.

• Only speaks English

• Has recently graduated with her Ph.D. (in Global Leadership)

• Her husband and children (twin daughters: age 9 and one son: age 8) will accompany her for the full assignment (they do not have any international travel experience and only speak English)

• The husband (6'9") was a superstar college basketball player until he fractured both kneecaps during a game. He recovered from the injuries but his basketball career was ended.

• The children are all the same height currently: 5'9" (note their ages), incredibly athletic, and are currently all on the same travel basketball team coached by their father.

Requirements: • List and fully detail the critical information that must be included in the training process specifically for this employee (with full justification and documentation).

• What cultural values, norms, and behaviors must be included?

• What are the language, physical, office, living environment, transportation, etc., barriers that must be addressed to avoid failure for the employee and her family?

• Should a pre-departure training program be developed or should an in-China training program simply be used? Why? Are both necessary? Why?

• Should the family receive training (beyond the training provided to the employee)? Why? If so, what should be included and who should pay for this training?

• What training process should be used for repatriation?

Requirements for the paper:

• Answer the scenario questions in full detail.

• Minimum Length Requirements for the final submission: 1,000-word minimum (all answers combined), including in-text citations, but not including the list of References, and not including the respective questions. APA formatting is required.

• Minimum Source Requirements: A minimum of four different references with citations must be used.

• Source Documentation: All source documentation must be in APA format.

• Format Requirements: Use a cover page, 12-point font, double space, and submit the final exam answer in a Word document uploaded to Blackboard.

• Meeting Minimum Requirements: Failure to meet the above minimum requirements (1,000-word minimum per answer, including the in-text citations, but not including the list of references, and not including the respective question itself); with a minimum of four different sources cited in APA format will result in a grade of zero points. All minimum requirements must be achieved before the quality of the answer is graded.

• Deductions for Errors: Five (5) points will be deducted for each source documentation error, grammar error, word usage error, and spelling error. Proofread your answers. Students who fail the final exam typically fail for these issues as previously stated.

• Source Requirements and Plagiarism: Wikipedia and all sources similar are unacceptable. Additional note on Sources and Plagiarism: Websites that provide written assignments for students (e.g., Chegg, Course Hero, Fern Fort University, etc.) are not an acceptable source for student coursework. Use of these sites will result in an automatic ‘0' for the final exam. Note: this is not a group project, submitting work completed by someone else is considering cheating, review the syllabus regarding the ramifications.
