Directions
Read the case of Angelo’s Pizza on page 2 of this assignment and answer the three questions
below in your report to the company. You should approach this assignment as though you are a
consultant and you have been asked to make specific recommendations to address the issues
raised in the case. Once you have completed your work, upload the case to Blackboard for
grading.
1. If Angelo’s is to develop into a franchise, it will need to establish a functioning human
resources department. Explain why you do or do not agree with this statement. Your
answer should address issues such as strategy, EEO compliance, and talent management.
2. Based on the material we have covered so far, what are the major considerations in
developing successful human resources functions and how should the human resources
department be structured? Include in your answer the qualifications of the HR manager,
the size of the department, and the specific types of activities the HR department will
need to conduct to insure organizational success.
3. Job analysis will play an important role in the success of the HR Department. Describe,
in layman’s terms, what job analysis is and why it is important for Angelo’s to invest in a
job analysis.
