Part 2- Case Study (6 marks)
Read the case given below and answer the questions:
Mohammed and Hamza own SPORTZ, a medium-sized company that manufactures and
sells sporting goods and equipment. They are watching a CROSSKATES video about
cross- country roller skates in the LOUNGE. Hamza says, “I don’t know. This stuff looks
dangerous! What do you think? Remember that bungee-jumping thing we tried?”
Mohammed responds, “Sara was out a long time with that knee problem. She sure is a
good sport. Badar said we were lucky not to get sued for that. Do you think employees
could sue us if they are hurt on product-test assignments?”
“Let’s ask Mazen,” Hamza suggests. “That guy you hired as— what did you call him—
director of human resources?
” Mohammed smiles broadly, “Yep. He sure seems to be busy. He’s pulled together all
that paperwork for insurance and retirement that Sara used to handle and named her
compensation and benefits manager.”
“He wants to send Saad and Ahmad to a supervisor’s school for work scheduling, job
team assignments, and project management,” Hamza adds. “He started those picnics by
the LAGOON for people to talk about work conditions and issues.”
Mohammed asks, “Do you think we should let him hire a full-time secretary? I thought
Sara could do that, but Mazen said she has a full plate. Did you tell him to do that
employee bulletin board he tacked into the Web site?”
Hamza shakes his head no. “Me neither,” Mohammed muses. “Wonder why he did that?
Guess we’d better talk to him.”
