Instruction: Please read the following case and answer the questions at the end.

M/s. ABC Ltd. was failing to get improved performance from recently hired management trainees (MTs) in the marketing department. Marketing Director discussed the issue with HR Director of the firm. It was revealed in the discussion that:

MTs lacked skills necessary for improved performance of recent time;
extent of supervision was not proper from the managers (immediate supervisors);
MTs lacked negotiation skills and that hindered customer base of the firm to increase;
concept of market research was absenting with the immediate supervisors, etc.

The HR Director, reviewing the situation, wanted to complete the job analysis first. Accordingly, he placed a proposal to the top management for necessary approval for conducting job analysis. HR Director convinced the top management that the job analysis should be done exclusively by an Analyst from outside the organization. He argued that keeping people of the firm in the job analysis process may influence the external Job Analyst wrongly in collecting data and prepare job descriptions and specifications independently.

Questions:

Assume you are the Job Analyst hired for the purpose, then;

which job(s) you are going to analyze at this stage? Give your arguments.

which steps you would like to involve in the job analysis process and why?
Do you foresee/apprehend any limitations in the job analysis process? Give your arguments.
