Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Utilize information from industry and scholarly sources to inform problem solving and decision making
Scenario
You are the sales department manager for a U.S.-based company that
builds engines for the automotive manufacturing industry. Your company
is considering diversifying into other business opportunities where your
motors can be sold in order to bolster the company’s portfolio and
increase revenue. Based on your knowledge of the national sales
landscape, your manager would like you to conduct preliminary research
and prepare a presentation with your recommendation for opportunity in a
chosen industry that will allow for this diversification through a new
sales division and increased sales. You have been asked to make your
presentation at the next stakeholder meeting, where you will address
internal stakeholders from across the company as well as external
stakeholders such as customers, investors, and suppliers.
As a preliminary step in developing this presentation, your manager
would like to see an executive summary of your research findings and
evaluate your decision modeling.

Sales by region
Sales by fuel type: electric, hybrid, and gas
Describe the current trends in the automotive market.
The trend toward different types of motors for the vehicles being made and sold, such as electric and hybrid

the southern United States, if any at all.)
Define expected growth areas.
Describe the current market trends for the chosen industry.
What products or services are trending?
What are some current customer demands?
Perform a Porter’s Five Forces analysis to determine the potential success of moving into this chosen industry.

Title: “Strategic Human Resource Management: The Key to a Successful and Harmonious Workplace”
Rewrite the following paragraphs about Strategic Human Resource Management using best practices for formal writing. Also include in-text citations and quotes from readings links attached as part of your re-write.
Imagine your company is like a rock band, but instead of instruments, you have people! A strategic HR plan is like the band’s setlist – it tells you who needs to be there, what role they play, and how they’ll all jam together to rock the crowd (aka, achieve your business goals).
First, you figure out what kind of music you want to play (growth spurt, steady rhythm?). This helps you decide how many band members you need and what kind of skills they should have. That’s where recruitment and training come in – finding the right guitarists, drummers, and maybe even a keytar player (diversity rocks!).
But just hiring rockstars isn’t enough. You gotta keep them happy and motivated – think backstage passes, killer merch, and maybe even a pizza party after every gig (perks, recognition, and a healthy work environment). And let’s face it, even the best bands have occasional off-key moments. That’s where conflict resolution comes in – helping everyone get back in tune and avoid any band breakups (drama!).
Finally, you gotta track how well your music is going over with the audience (performance reviews). Are you selling out stadiums or just playing to your grandma in the garage? This feedback helps you adjust your setlist, maybe add a new song or two (new initiatives), and keep the crowd rocking long into the future.
So there you have it – a strategic HR plan in a nutshell! It’s all about having the right people, keeping them happy, and working together to make your company’s music a chart-topping hit!
