   • How does the chain of command influence or affect your role as manager? How does it affect the organizational functions?

Part TWo: Discussions!

Discussion one:

Atha Corporation Interview Questions

For this discussion you are to develop ten interview questions. Five questions are for a candidate interviewing for a human resources position and five are for a candidate interviewing for a position in your fictional declared area. Your questions will be used to help the interviewer discover talents of the interviewee. Keep these guidelines in mind as you develop your questions:

• Do not submit any question that is not related to work. For example, "What do you like to do outside of work?"
• Do not ask close-ended questions. A close-ended question is one which can be answered in a single word. For example, "Do you like to work in teams?" This type of question is easily answered with a "yes" or "no." An improvement to this could be "Could you describe a time when you were part of a team?"
• Do not ask typical surface-level questions. For example, "Please tell me some of your strengths or weaknesses."

Discussion Two:

Human Resource Management Process

In addition to the functional area you selected to manage, you are also responsible for managing the human resources function. Exhibit 7-1 in Chapter 7 of your text introduces the key components of an organization's human resource management process. It represents eight activities (the gold boxes) that, if properly executed, will staff an organization with competent, high-performing employees.

Select and discuss two of the activities presented. Why do you find them to be important?
