This model could be used to ask simple questions of these standards, such as " How can we improve upon this task so that job satisfaction is achieved, producing higher rewards?" Job analysis is used as a point of reference for Job Description and Job Specification. Job Description Once Job Analysis is complete, the next step is to define the responsibilities of the candidate to meet the needs of the position. Job description is basically a list of the tasks required of the employee holding the particular position defined in the job analysis. A Complete job description will include level of responsibility and the expected outcome. Once these attributes are defined and documented, finding the ideal candidate will become easier and more precise. Job Specification Job specifications “identify the eligibility requirements or qualifications needed to perform a job” (Baack, et al., 2014, Ch. 4.4). Job specification can be defined as the profile of an ideal candidate. Job specification dictates the specifics of what is needed from the employee such as required amounts of experience, education, physical and technical abilities, as well as desired social skills.

A job description is a written summary of the responsibilities related to a specific job and the skills and knowledge necessary for discharging those responsibilities effectively. The job description becomes a handy resource for human resource professionals and departmental heads when recruiting new people to fill in vacancies as well as for the purpose of evaluating performance. The job description is also an important component of the job specification, a document that includes task requirements as well as a profile of the ideal person for the job (Cascio 2003, p. 160).
The store managers also act as accountants to make sure that the established budgets and guidelines of operations are met per procedure. Managers are also responsible in creating employee schedules, and assigning duties.
The Assistant Manager is also accountable for the store and helps the store managers quite a bit with inventory and daily store operating routines. Involved in this is the “overall store operations and security”, which includes making sure all sanitation standards are being followed (Dunkin’s Brand Group, Inc., 2015). They are also a part of the hiring team. Very similar to Assistant Managers are Shift Leaders, as they do a lot of the same jobs as the assistant manager. The main focus is on customer satisfaction and the quality of services being provided. These leaders make sure that “operations run smoothly, efficiently, and according to industry standards while also overseeing and directing employees”
Job description entails the outlining of the skills, and the necessary qualifications and competencies required for a working opportunity.

It should be able to be used in signing the service contact (Slezak 2012).

To achieve the job analysis process one must consider the skills necessary for employees’ separated by job title or function. Employees can understand what the vital aspects of their jobs are by analyzing the entire job function and process. This process should include an explanation of primary job functions, how to produce them, and who is responsible for all parts, and the qualifications needed for all steps. Defining the key duties of each job function will benchmark all key elements to determine a systematic process. By identifying each job title or job function will allow management and staff to outline performance standards more
Job analysis also can be defined as the systematic study of jobs to identify the observable work activities, tasks, and responsibilities associated with a particular job or group of jobs (University of Minnesota, 2008).

As the district manager, I will be in charge of hiring and monitoring the store managers. These store managers with have complete authority in their stores. As the district manager I will guide the manager into the direction that I would like for them to go. If a store manager does things that should not be done by a store manager, I will be required to disciple the store manager.

I would create more of an organic

Our target markets for our potential Dunkin’ Donuts consumers are around a part of the generation X & generation Y (millenniums). The demographics and psychographics of Ann Arbor, Michigan provide many potential opportunities for Dunkin’ Donuts success in this environment.

The retail environment that I decided to analyze is one that is very familiar to most Americans in today’s world: Dunkin Donuts. According to the University of Harvard, 54% of Americans over the age of 18 drink at least one coffee a day, with 65% of it being consumed during breakfast. According to the Dunkin Donuts Press Kit of February 2014, currently the Dunkin Donuts franchise is bought by 11% of Americans on a daily basis and has nearly 11,000 stores in 33 countries. But of all of those stores, I chose one in the quiet suburban town of Chester, New Jersey. Though not a very large town, Chester is built up with many restaurants and shops for tourists and locals alike to come and spend their time and money.
