1. Strength and weakness Analysis (SWOT Analysis) imposed on company.
The development of a uniform multi-national personnel selection system at ComInTec AG & Co. -the company operates in diverse cultural conditions and developing a uniform system for recruitment to key managerial positions in these locations is the challenge.
SWOT:
Strength:
1. Planning team has a diverse representation across cultures.
2. The team members are of very good educational backgrounds.
3. Experts from different fields like psychology, economics, etc were readily available.
Weakness:
1. Lack of consistent procedures which was applicable cross-nationally and cross-regionally.
2. Less support from higher management as in case of Koenig and Koch.
Opportunities:
1. A uniform selection system may be able to simplify recruitment procedures.
2. Asian job markets were increasingly becoming familiar with European recruiting procedures, eg., the referral practice was being adopted in Asian countries also.
Threats:
1. The threat of job cuts due to the transfer of the project to consultants loomed over the planning team.
2. The educational systems and social backgrounds in the different operating regions are so different that applying a uniform system may not be feasible.
Long term implication of the weakness imposed on the company
In order to understand long term implications we need to see the whole scenario from political, economic, social and cultural point of view.
