Management Case Study

This is a Human Resource Management (HRM) case used to encourage student thought and discussion following a class segment on recruiting.  Midwest Education, Inc.: A Human Resource Management Case is used to exemplify many of the human resource problems encountered in a typical complex organization.  It provides history and background of the company, Midwest Education, Inc. (which is closely modeled after a major developer and supplier of educational materials).  The case presents the three major divisions of the company and shows how each is following a different strategy.  With this background, the case presents the current problems which arise as the company seeks to change from ad hoc recruiting practices to a planned, strategically aligned process.  As the case develops, it is seen that corporate headquarters is challenging the HR directors of each of the operating divisions to address recruiting issues through a systematic approach.  Readers are challenged to determine what issues are most pressing during the recruiting process, and to develop comprehensive recruiting plans for the divisions.
