Arrange an interview with a senior executive/partner/principal of a firm, preferably a

business you are interested in. The manager must have EMPLOYEE supervision
responsibilities. Your task in this interview is to identify the interviewee’s orientation
and business philosophy toward key human resource management functions. A face-to-
face interview is highly recommended, however, a phone interview is acceptable.

The interviewee should not be:

● A family member
● A former supervisor
● A person from your current or past places of employment

PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW

Develop a list of approx. 10 human resource-related questions you will ask that cover
recruitment, staffing, staff motivation, employee development, and employee
appraisal. (In your priority order). One question must cover the Supervisors viewpoint
on the “competitive advantage through people”. I am available to review your questions
if you desire feedback.

DELIVERABLE

Prepare a three-page, double-spaced paper that summarizes the responses and your
analysis of the interview including:

● What you learned about supervising/managing others? Did you learn anything
new? Did the interview clear up any misconceptions you had about HR and HR
management?
● What did you agree with and disagree with?
● What was (were) the most memorable part(s) of the interview? Why?
● How did the responses of your interviewee compare to class readings and class
discussions this far?
● What was the interviewee's thoughts on the “competitive advantage through
people"?
● Summarize the interview and include your thoughts and feelings towards the
professional you interviewed. Did you walk away with an overall view of this
person's philosophy and values as they relate to HR management?
● Critically reflect on your own perceptions of HR management. What beliefs did
you have going into the interview about HR management? Has anything changed
for you?
Please write an email or note to the person you interviewed thanking him/her for their
time.

Hand in:

● A maximum of three pages, double-spaced
