Report IssueWhat is a policy analysis, why is it important, and what are its elements?
PLEASE REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 100 WORDS or MORE)
Policy analysis are one of two techniques used by social science researchers to determine if current policies are effective and whether existing strategies and policies should be continued, or if they should explore new policies and strategies. Policy analysis looks at governmental behavior, where it is as much interested in the actual actions of government as in the inactivity of government and can be conducted by researchers from various fields such as criminal justice., Hagan (2014). Policy analysis also studies the policies that were drafted and implemented by the government, those which may or may not have been proposed, and those that were never implemented by the government, Hagan (2014).

Assignment 1: Strategy, Planning, and Selection
Assume for this assignment that you are being highly considered for a director-level HR management position for a best-in-class national retailer. You are in the final phase of the interview process and must respond to the interview panel regarding specific questions and scenarios that will help them determine if you are a good fit for the new role. The company’s culture is centered on the effective development of strategy, plans, and selection criteria aimed at building and sustaining a competitive and profitable organization. It will be extremely important that you respond with a strategic mindset in order to convince the organization you are able to help them ensure the execution of the business strategy.
Write a six to seven (6-7) page paper in which you:
Analyze different types of strategies (cost leadership, differentiation, and focus/niche) and select which one you would deem more appropriate for an “efficiency-minded” retail organization and explain your rationale. How would the selected strategy ultimately affect how HR does its job?
Examine the four (4) approaches to job design/redesign and provide an example (not a definition) of each. Then, make a case to the interviewing panel on the importance of effective job design applications in supporting the overall strategic goals of the organization.
Consider challenges and constraints associated with recruiting workers and identify and discuss at least two (2) issues. What advice would you give to ease your selected issues? Be specific.
List and describe 2–3 candidate selection process ideas that might add value and overall effectiveness to the process.

As you begin the simulation, you will need to revisit the effectiveness of your business strategy relative to the six basic strategies. As a team, you need to discuss these results and decide which strategy you will choose for the competition that begins the end of this week. Each member of the team should review the strategy for his or her role, and then a team decision needs to be made on the overall strategy for the next round.
Task Assignment Part 1: Team Participation to Begin the 1st Practice Round
Go to the CAPSIM home page (www.capsim.com).
Click “Log in” near the top right and enter your ID & password.
On the next screen, click on the “C#####” number to get into the course.
Left hand side, click on “Decisions” and then “Launch the web spreadsheet”.
You are now in the spreadsheet where you can make your decisions for round one.
Other notes:
In general, you need to start from the top with R&D and work your way down to finance to make well informed decisions.
You save your decisions to the website by going to “File” and then “Update Official Decisions”. You can save your decisions as often as needed before the deadline.
The “Reports” tab contains vital information to aid in your decision making. Be sure to review last year’s newspaper, called the Capstone Courier report and the Industry Conditions Report.
The “Proformas” are like if-then statements. If your decisions come true then this is what your results would look like.
Note: Make a note of your Practice Round product decisions. The simulation will reset to the Competition Round 1 after the Practice Round processes. To start the Competition, you will make new decisions for the first year of business based on what you learned from the Practice Round results.
Task Assignment Part 2: Yearly Summary Report
Use your textbook(s), course materials, and Internet sources to, as a team, prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 15-20 slides that justifies your strategic decisions for Practice Round 1.
