Background Checks
The following Course Outcome is assessed in this assignment:
HR400-4: Assess how employment tools and documentation are used for employee selection.
Introduction: Background checks are generally
conducted with the final candidate in the selection process. A
background check can include employment and education verification,
references, criminal history, and other sources if they pertain to the
job. For this assignment, you will describe potential legal issues
associated with background checks. You will also be reviewing a scenario
and making a recommendation on what action to take.
Read the scenario and then address the checklist items in a 2–3-page paper.
Scenario: You are the hiring manager for a new large
outdoor drive-in movie theatre and need to fill a position for a
concessions supervisor. You have a very extensive menu, and therefore it
is one of the most responsible positions since this person presides
over the money. You have narrowed the selection to an applicant you
think would be a good fit for the position. The applicant meets the job
requirements, although his pre-employment test results were not the best
of the selected group. He did respond well to the competency interview
questions you posed during the interview. You conducted reference checks
on the applicant by contacting former employers and received positive
results; however, the background check shows the applicant was convicted
of a misdemeanor for vandalism 5 years ago, for which the applicant
served time in jail.
Checklist
Evaluate the use of pre-employment tests in the employment process.
Decide how references might or might not influence your final selection of the right candidate.
Relate how the background check results influence your decision to either hire or not hire the applicant.
Assess the potential legal issues associated with background checks.
Assess the potential legal issues associated with background check documentation.
Include a description of negligent hiring practices and what constitutes defamation of character.
Recommend the steps, tools, and documentation an organization should
take to prevent negligent hiring and defamation of character from
occurring.
Additional requirements:
This assignment should be a 2–3-page Word document, in addition to the title and reference pages.
It must be written in Standard English and demonstrate exceptional content, organization, style, grammar, and mechanics.
Respond to the topics in a thorough manner, providing specific examples where asked.
Your paper should provide a clearly established and sustained viewpoint and purpose.
Your writing should be well ordered, logical, and unified, as well as original and insightful.
A separate page at the end of your research paper should contain a
list of references in current APA format. Use your textbook, the
Library, and the Internet for research.
Be sure to cite where appropriate and reference all sources. Your
sources and content should follow current APA format and citation style.
(See Unit 1 reading area for assistance with APA format.)
Review the grading rubric to ensure all points have been captured in the paper.

Planning for Mobile Computing
Many companies are moving to the use of mobile computing for their employees. This allows staff to have access to systems all day, every day. Planning for mobile computing is important when determining the IT infrastructure.
What are some important considerations that need to be determined to allow mobile access?
Should staff be allowed to use personal devices or corporate-owned devices?
How would the use of mobile devices affect network usage for the company?
Consider adding comments that would further an argument for the activities listed.
International Plastics Inc. E-commerce Proposal

Strategy-Process Aligment
MT400-1: Assess the role of a business process within the strategic structure of an organization.
Your book proposes a business process management (BPM) model that consists of 10 phases. As you learn about each of these phases, you will be applying the concepts to a specific business process. You will select the process you will use in this assignment.
You will prepare the foundation for your project by identifying a real-world organization that would benefit from applying the business process management (BPM) model in the workplace. You may select the organization where you currently work OR where you previously worked. If possible, you should strive to choose an organization and process that you have knowledge about. If you select an organization that you do not have direct contact with, be sure you can gather sufficient information (via the library, the Internet, or by interview) about the organization and its operations.
It is important to select a process that will provide a good basis for applying the various phases that you will be learning. As you learn further topics and complete subsequent assignments, you will use this process to answer questions such as:
What are the strategies/goals of your company and how does your selected process support/fit them?
Who are the stakeholders in the process, what are their expectations, and what are the goals of the process?
What are some specific metrics for measuring the performance of your process now and later? What are some quick wins for your project?
What are the risks for your project, ways to mitigate them, and the best leader type for this project?
What is the best implementation strategy for your process, pilots, and contingency plans for your project?
In order to be able to answer these questions, you will need to select a business process that has strategic significance in the organization, involves multiple people, and has sufficient complexity to require measurement and planning. If you pick a process that is too limited, not strategic, or too vague, you will not be able to analyze these elements later on.
To gain a better understanding of what is coming up, carefully read the 2-1/2-page summary of the 10 phases that starts on p. 106 in your textbook. This will give you an idea of what type of questions you will be asking about the process you select.
Instructions for Assignment 1
For this assignment, compose a paper that includes the following components (use the subheadings below):
Part 1: Information about the Organization You Selected
Identify and provide details regarding the organization for which you will be presenting information about the BPM model.
Basic information: Company name, location, size, and primary business area (What does the business do?). Also, describe what connection you have to the organization, if any. If not, explain how you will gather information about their operations.
Implementation strategy: Use the model by Treacy and Wiersma in Chapter 13 and identify which one of the three strategic options fits the company’s approach the best; explain how and why.
Part 2: Information about the Process You Selected
Describe the specific business process that you have selected to analyze in your assignments.
Clearly state:
The objective of the process.
The scope: Where the process begins and ends.
A brief description of those involved.
Explain each item:
Significance: Does this process have some strategic significance or a significant impact on the operations of the organization? Would company executives care about changes to the process? Explain your answers.
Scope: Does this process have various stakeholders, in addition to multiple people involved in its execution? List both the stakeholders and the various people involved in carrying out the process.
Clarity: Is it possible to identify and list the steps in this process, from beginning to end? Briefly list at least five steps, including who executes them.
Outcomes: Are there specific goals and deliverables associated with this process that can be listed and measured? Describe at least two.
In order to ensure the process you select is rich enough to support this project, your answer to the items in the preceding checklist must be “yes.” If you find that you cannot answer the questions above, you will need to pick another process. Otherwise you will have difficulty with subsequent assignments.
Part 3: Strategic Justification
Why should the company undertake a BPM project on this process? (What are some triggers based on Table 4.1?)
How can this business or organization benefit from a BPM effort?
Part 4: Alignment of the Process to the Company Strategy
Based on the concepts in Chapter 13, assess the following elements:
How well does the process you selected support strategic choice (based on #1–2 above)? Your analysis should be specific to the selected business process and not a general discussion of the business.
Where in Table 13.7 would this process fall with respect to the BPM activity and approach? Explain.
