Strategic HRM
Internal Assignment Applicable for September 2019 Examination
1. You are brought in as the new Director of HR for a company in the
distribution industry which is the merger between Company A and Company B.
Company A began as a family business which acquired a number of small
companies over time. As a result of all of these acquisitions, the company was
less standardized and more decentralized internally and was somewhat of a
combination of cultures to begin with The culture of Company A is quite varied.
Some areas of the company are focused on metrics and quality, others are
focused on job satisfaction and employee attitudes, and still others are not
focused on either. Generally, the company strives to produce a range of highquality products and services, but the way that this occurs is unstructured
throughout the company. Company B was a large company which was
standardized internally with a strong culture surrounding processes and
procedures. Company B has a centralized structure with clear employee policies.
Company B is focused on quality control. They stress standardized processes
and procedures across all business units. They have a clear mission and goal that
emphasizes one thing: productivity. Company B has been successful with
strategy monetarily, but its employees are often overworked and overwhelmed.
Both companies have fears regarding losing desirable aspects of their current

market share. Anecdotal information suggests that the cause of voluntary
turnover is due to a poor employee benefits/total rewards strategy, employee
engagement and organizational culture. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has
requested your analysis and recommendations on improving the total rewards
strategy in an effort to improve employee engagement; reduce voluntary
turnover and enhancing the employer’s brand.
a. What are specific actions you can initially take to identify and validate how
total rewards are having an impact on the organization? Explain your rationale.
b. Identify and describe the challenges the organization faces in managing the
design, delivery and financing of a total rewards program on a local and global
perspective.
(10 Marks).
3. The slump in the South Korean economy in late 1990s was bound to have an
effect on Hyundai also. The automobile segment was among the first to be hit
by the downside in the economy. The domestic automobile sector had negative
growth of almost 55% in 1998 compared to the previous year. Hyundai was
responsible for almost 50% of total automobile production in South Korea and
was therefore badly hit. The domestic sales of the company fell by 55% in the
year 1998 and its exports crashed by 74% to only 15,056 units. Hyundai
recorded a 200-billion-won loss in 1998. According to company officials,
Hyundai's six assembly plants with a yearly production capacity of 1.65 million
vehicles, were operating at only 40 percent of their capacity. In May, 1998,
Hyundai reacted to this grim situation by announcing plans to lay off 27 percent
of its 46,000 workforce in South Korea and to cut pay bonuses and benefits in a
bid to save 230 billion won. Unfortunately for the management of the company,
Hyundai had one of the most powerful and militant unions. The decision of the
company to lay off workers sparked off agitations not only in Hyundai but in
other companies too. The unions were particularly offended at the
government's approval of Hyundai's decision. In a demonstration in Ulsan,
where Hyundai has its biggest automobile plant, 32,000 employees participated
in rallies. All across South Korea almost 1,20,000 employees from about 125
companies participated in demonstrations against Hyundai and the
government's decision. The government had to deploy nearly 20,000 riot police
to control the demonstrators...
Labour Problems in the Early 2000s
On September 1, 2000, Hyundai officially cut ties with the Hyundai Group and
had relocated its head office to Yangjae-dong, Seoul, Korea - a move that was
seen as symbolic of its rebirth as an independent automotive business group. In
December 2001, Hyundai forecasted its highest profits ever - $900 million for
the year. In the same year it posted 23.4 % in unit sales and a 74.5%
improvement in net income. Most importantly, Hyundai vehicles were being
accepted as a technologically advanced, stylish and reliable in overseas markets
like the US and Europe. In the United States, the world’s largest auto market,
Hyundai recorded a 42% sales increase in 2001. This was an era of growth,
reorganization and new market exploration. But the success story was marred
by another strike threat in Hyundai.
Workers at the Ulsan plant went on a two-day strike in December 2001,
demanding higher wages and higher bonuses. They also demanded a 30% share
in the profits that year as a performance bonus.
The management clarified, that though the company had done well that year, it
could not afford performance bonuses to the tune of 30% of profit. The reasons
given were: firstly, the increased influx of imported cars into South Korea was
bound to hurt Hyundai's market share and margins in South Korea.
Secondly, General Motors' purchase of Daewoo was a threat that could not be
ignored or taken lightly, and the company had to gear itself up to be able to
compete with General Motors, and lastly, the most important reason stated was
that due to the appreciation of the Korean won, Hyundai cars were becoming
less competitive in international markets and profitability consequently would
be hurt.
a. Industries need to adopt proactive policies with regard to Industrial Relations
which help to prevent any rise of conflict rather than waiting for such situations
to occur and then planning a strategy. To what extent this approach was visible
in the Hyundai’s Industrial relations policies. (5 Marks)
b. “Since the very beginning, employee participation, and employee
involvement (together known as participative management) define the essence
of Industrial Relations”. Kindly justify this statement in terms of this case study.

3. Bhanji has spent nearly two decades working at Metro Brands, which was
started by her grandfather as a stand-alone store in Colaba in 1947 and has
since grown to over 500 stores across the country. She radiates enthusiasm for
retail. “I’ve only ever worked here. I came here straight after my
undergraduation. It’s not like a business where you don’t see an end result. You
put something in the store, within a week you know how that shoe is working.
You see new creations, you see new ranges," she says.
Keeping in touch with the ground realities of retail is essential to corporate
strategy. “From being purely a product brand, we have become a retail brand.
When you walk into the Colaba Metro store, the collection will be different
from the Linking Road store. We curate the product for each store. I want the
best collection for a customer who walks into a store," she says.
Two years ago, Bhanji and her team implemented Eli Goldratt’s Theory of
Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy that leads to profit improvement
through greater efficiency in business processes.
“Theory of Constraints brought efficiency to our front end, helping the way we
sell go from art to science. For example, 40 new designs are introduced into our
system every week. After four weeks, we address how they have sold. We had
thumb rules to check what happens, and decide if a design worked. It is like an
art, but applying TOC helped us make it a science."
The project came with management challenges for Bhanji, including getting on
board the front line supply chain teams who had to adopt the new technology.
“TOC wasn’t so tough from a technology angle, but it was supremely difficult
from our mindset angle. How do you tell someone that the computer may know
some things better than you?" she says, as the legacy brand has a number of
long-time employees.

Q. 1 40 years back, Sita Travels was a renowned brand in Delhi, in the travel and
tourism industry. The company boasted of a loyal clientele, competitive travel
packages, efficient and motivated employees and a vision to become the No. 1
player pan India. In those days, the industry comprised few players hence there
wasn’t too much competition to be faced. However, in recent times, with the
online platform and players emerging such as Makemytrip, Trivago, Yatra etc.
offering packages at throwaway prices and reaching out at minimal costs to the
mobile savvy, internet savvy consumer, it is indeed giving the traditional
companies a run for their money. Loss of clientele, revenue and market shares
have made Sita Travels sit up and wonder as to what needs to be done to
address this issue. Towards this management problem, state the research
objective(s) and propose a research design for this study; describing the
secondary and primary sources of data, research design, research method,
target respondent, contact method etc.
Q.2 The beauty care industry comprising make-up, personal care, skin and hair
care product categories, grapples with a lot of controversy around the safety of
products, rampant use of colour and chemicals, products being carcinogenic and
unsafe for us. While some marketers have seen this as a market opportunity to
sneak in with socalled natural, herbal, ayurvedic products, for the larger
majority, this still remains a challenge. The Beauty Care Industry Association is
planning to conduct a research to examine the consumer psyche: her
consumption and purchase habits, her attitude, satisfaction levels, perception
about different products, opinion about carcinogenic elements and unsafety
etc. It has been decided to conduct a quantitative, questionnaire- based survey
among women from all socio-economic sections. The industry wants to identify
the key factors associated with the decision-making of products among women;
based on advanced analytical tools. Design a questionnaire keeping in mind all
the research objectives of this survey and the appropriate scales that should be
used for advanced analysis.

behaviour or preferences of men for clothing are influenced by variables such as
(1) Occasion of use
(2) Geography of the customer
(3) Income group of the customer and
(4) Competition
A list of customers has been procured from internal company records. Their
personal records also include information on their personal income and

Q.3 One classic advertising and service recovery strategy used by companies
involves turning a disadvantage into an advantage. For example, a small car
rental company who did not meet customer expectations ran a campaign “we
are trying harder”.
Recently, the Domino’s pizza chain took such an approach to the extreme.
Marketers developed an advertising program to address the problem of slowing
sales in a declining economy. The first wave of television commercials featured
clips of consumers in focus groups, discussing Domino’s, providing statements
such as “Worst pizza I ever had; totally devoid of flavor”, “Domino’s pizza crust
is to me like cardboard” and “The sauce tastes like ketchup”.
Domino’s had been able to maintain its market share during the economic
downturn. At the same time, employees and company managers were
concerned about the quality of the products being offered. The advertising
program was created to apologize for poor quality pizza with the promise to do
better by creating pies with improved ingredients and better recipes, which lead
to a complete menu overhaul during a 4-year period beginning in 2008. “We
think that going out there and being this honest really breaks through to people
in a way that most advertising does not” explained the CEO Patrcik Doyle.
Some marketing experts expressed concern that consumers would not listen
carefully to the message. They would hear the part about poor quality but not
the part about improving. Doyle believed that the risk was worth taking. When
the roll-out of new and improved pizzas at bargain prices commenced, a new
advertising campaign was launched, featuring the comment, “We are only as
good as our last pizza. So tell us how yours was” followed.
Domino’s had already introduced the pizza tracker feature to its website, which
allows customers placing an online order at the Domino’s website to follow the
progress of the order from the shop to the front door. Users receive an email
directing them to the order tracking page within seconds of placing an order and
without having to refresh the page, are told precisely when their pie is placed in
the oven, checked for quality assurance and dispatched to their home. The pizza
tracker informs the customer who was responsible for an individual pizza during
preparations and delivery.
Following the completion of the transaction, the customer can provide feedback
directly to the store where the pizza was made, which opens lines of
communication with individual stores and managers rather than the larger
corporation. The pizza tracker program insists that individual store owners will
listen when customers are dissatisfied. By naming the actual individual
responsible for any service failure, the store manager can improve operations
on an employee- by- employee basis. Over the course of the next apology
campaign and new emphasis on customer feedback, sales increased
dramatically during the next two quarters.
The company once again was willing to risk customer backlash, even mildly
taunting the pubic with the “Oh yes, we did” tag line. Time will tell if these two
maneuvers will generate long-lasting, positive effects for the company.
a. Evaluate the Service Recovery System of Domino’s and suggest few other
innovative methods to recover the customers.
b. Create a Service Blueprint for Domino’s home delivery operations covering all
the various methods of placing an order

3. Bhanji has spent nearly two decades working at Metro Brands, which was
started by her grandfather as a stand-alone store in Colaba in 1947 and has
since grown to over 500 stores across the country. She radiates enthusiasm for
retail. “I’ve only ever worked here. I came here straight after my
undergraduation. It’s not like a business where you don’t see an end result. You
put something in the store, within a week you know how that shoe is working.
You see new creations, you see new ranges," she says.
Keeping in touch with the ground realities of retail is essential to corporate
strategy. “From being purely a product brand, we have become a retail brand.
When you walk into the Colaba Metro store, the collection will be different
from the Linking Road store. We curate the product for each store. I want the
best collection for a customer who walks into a store," she says.
Two years ago, Bhanji and her team implemented Eli Goldratt’s Theory of
Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy that leads to profit improvement
through greater efficiency in business processes.
“Theory of Constraints brought efficiency to our front end, helping the way we
sell go from art to science. For example, 40 new designs are introduced into our
system every week. After four weeks, we address how they have sold. We had
thumb rules to check what happens, and decide if a design worked. It is like an
art, but applying TOC helped us make it a science."
The project came with management challenges for Bhanji, including getting on
board the front line supply chain teams who had to adopt the new technology.
“TOC wasn’t so tough from a technology angle, but it was supremely difficult
from our mindset angle. How do you tell someone that the computer may know
some things better than you?" she says, as the legacy brand has a number of
long-time employees.
