Presentation – 20%
• General grading guidelines: Descriptive = Pass; Evaluation and Analysis =
Merit; Critical Evaluation, Synthesis = Distinction
• Slides must contain very clear evidence of your analysis, evaluation, etc. along
with full references to the journal articles you used to support your points (do
not use general public websites as they are unreliable).
• You must submit a copy of your slides (in the original format) to LMS. The first
slide should contain your name, student ID, and the name of the company you
are researching.
• Your presentation should be very detailed. Simple answers show little
understanding, which will lower your grade.
• You will have a limit of 5 minutes. There may also be questions after.
• Because time will be tight, going over the time limit will lower your grade.

COMPANY REGISTRY
• Each student must choose a unique company and the company must have operations (with at least 50
employees) in Vietnam. The first student to register their company gets that company. If a student chooses
more than one company, only their most recent company counts.
• Note: Please consider which company you would like to research. It should be a company that you have
access to (for example, if a relative works there) or one that you are very interested in (for example, a
company you would like to work for one day). Generally, any company is fine as long as it has at least 50
employees. However, please avoid using government agencies. You can use State Owned Enterprises (like
Agribank), just not government offices (like the State Bank of Vietnam). If a company is large, like
VinGroup, you should choose a smaller unit within that company, for example, VinFast or VinSchool.

20% B
• The Group project is an analysis of a topic assigned by teacher.
• Class is divided into groups. Each group has from 3 to 5 members. Groups will be decided by the 1st class.
• You can use your research into your company but you will not be reporting anything. Your team will act out a
hiring process, focusing on the interview (but you can also include other aspects which you feel are relevant).
• You can divide your team anyway you think best to illustrate which techniques you understand well in an
interview.
• You will need at least one interviewer and at least one interviewee (candidate).

• Your grade will be driven by how much you show you understand
about the selection process.
Grading: Simple illustration = Pass; Complex
understanding = Merit; Creative and
realistically complex = Distinction.
• Interviewing is just one part of the selection process. You should also
consider shortlisting, practical job tasks, intelligence and other tests.
• You will have a maximum of 10 minutes (it can be shorter) for your
role play. There may be questions from the audience after.
• You should submit one paper which includes the names, IDs, and
role for each member. This paper should also include a brief
explanation of the story of the role play. You should email a page in
Word (.docx) format listing the subject of your role-play and which
student performed which role are relevant).

THE BIG PICTURE
• Organizations are combinations of physical, financial, and human capital
• Human capital
• Knowledge, skills and abilities of people
• Their motivation to do the job
• Scope of human capital
• An average organization’s employee cost (wages or salaries and benefits) is over 25% of its total
revenue
• Organizations that capitalize on human capital have a strategic advantage over their competitors

CONCEPTS
• Staffing is the process of acquiring, deploying, and retaining a workforce of sufficient
quantity and quality to create positive impacts on the organization’s effectiveness.
• Acquistion activities involve external staffing systems that govern the initial intake of applicants into
the organization.
• Deployment: the movement of current employees throughout the organization through internal
staffing that handle promotions, transfers, and new project assignments.
• Retention: organization should try to minimize the turnover and retain the valued employees

THE IMPLICATIONS OF HUMAN
RESOURCE ACQUIRING (1)
Acquisition activities involve
• planning for the numbers and types of people needed,
• establishing job requirements in the form of the qualifications or knowledge, skills, abilities,
and other characteristics (KSAOs) needed to perform the job effectively,
• establishing the types of rewards the job will provide,
• conducting external recruitment campaigns,
• using selection tools to evaluate the KSAOs that applicants possess,
• deciding which applicants are the most qualified and will receive job offers,
• and putting together job offers that applicants will hopefully accept.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF HUMAN
RESOURCE ACQUIRING (2)
• Deployment refers to the placement of new hires in the actual jobs they will hold, something that may
not be entirely clear at the time of hire, such as the specific work unit or geographic location.
• Deployment also encompasses guiding the movement of current employees throughout the
organization through internal staffing systems that handle promotions, transfers, and new project
assignments.
• Internal staffing systems mimic external staffing systems in many respects, such as planning for
promotion and transfer vacancies, establishing job requirements and job rewards, recruiting
employees for promotion or transfer opportunities, evaluating employees’ qualifications, and making
job offers to employees for new positions.

43
THE IMPLICATIONS OF HUMAN
RESOURCE ACQUIRING (3)
• Retention systems seek to manage the inevitable flow of employees out of the organization.
• Sometimes these outflows are involuntary on the part of the employee, such as through layoffs or the sale
of a business unit to another organization.
• Other outflows are voluntary in that they are initiated by the employee, such as leaving the organization to
take another job (a potentially avoidable turnover by the organization) or leaving to follow one’s spouse or
partner to a new geographic location (a potentially unavoidable turnover).
• It should try to minimize the types of turnover in which valued employees leave for greener pastures
elsewhere—namely, voluntary-avoidable turnover. Through various retention strategies and tactics, the
organization can combat these types of turnover, seeking to retain those employees it thinks it cannot afford
to lose.

vacancies were filled:
• On a lottery basis from among job applicants?
• On a first come-first hired basis?
• What would be the advantages of using one of the staffing processes?

STAFFING QUANTITY LEVELS
• The organization as a whole, as well as each of its units, forecasts
workforce quantity requirements and then compares these forecasted
with workforce availabilities to determine the staffing level position.

CONCEPTS: PERSON/JOB MATCH MODEL
• Jobs are characterized by their requirements and rewards
• Individuals are characterized via qualifications (KSAOS) and motivation
• These concepts are not new or faddish,
this is an enduring model of staffing
• Matching process involves dual match
• KSAOs to requirements
• Motivation to rewards
• Job requirements expressed in terms of
both
• Tasks involved
• KSAOs necessary for performance of
tasks
• Job requirements often extend beyond
task and KSAO requirements
