Define the issues as you see them in light of what you have learned about managing human capital in organizations. Did the university demonstrate "due diligence" in preparing employers for engaging in their workplace? Explain to support your answer and address what actions should have been taken. Do the actions of Hopwood Manufacturing represent a risk for potential litigation by student applicants against Lambert University or Hopwood? Explain to support your answer. What specific actions should Lambert University/Robert Harvey take to adequately address the issues? This is not an opinion-based question but rather use what you have learned in this course to provide a response based on best practices.
This assignment is a case analysis and there are two organizations involved - Hopwood Manufacturing and Lambert University. The reading for this assignment is in the Harvard Business Publishing course packet for this course.
You will be addressing the case from the perspective of Lambert University and informing on (1) the key issues raised in this scenario and (2) the best course of action to correct the issues. You will prepare your response in Memo format (addressed to me) that reflects your ability to identify people management issues and make informed recommendations to management for their decision-making/taking action. In your memo, consider the following questions for your analysis (Note: Memos are NOT to be written in a Q&A format):
