Your Wine Co case study report: (The case details is in the following page, please scroll down)
You have asked your staff and fellow directors to give you their thoughts on issues you should address in your role. You will need to prepare a report addressing the following requirements.
1. Your first task, after reviewing these memos, is to write yourself a performance plan, prioritising the things you should be doing in your first year of appointment, and justifying why these are the important things for you to be doing. You can rank some priorities equally if you wish.
2. Your second task is to (a) identify where you think this firm presently sits in terms of competitive advantage through its HRM; (b) identify where it might be able to develop competitive advantages in the future; and (c) how you could most help to achieve that.
Assessment marking criteria:
• The key issues for the organisation are identified
• Analysis and synthesis of relevant strategic management and strategic HRM literatures.
• Ideas and assertions substantiated through use of high quality reference material and key academic perspectives/views have been used
• Explicit linking of the literature to addressing the issues
• Appropriate (and practicable) recommendations and strategy are proposed
• Appropriate Harvard style referencing (in-text and list of references)
