Module 1 Assignment 1

After reading Cascio
& Aguinis’ article, read this interview of Craig Ramsey, former EVP of AMC
Theatres, the second largest U.S. theater chain (and one of LCC’s direct
competitors)! It contains valuable insight into trends and future directions for
the movie theater/entertainment industry.

Read the article.

As the new Director of
Talent Management, your first task is to write a brief email to the CEO of LCC
detailing three specific plans to make strategic staffing decisions to address
these industry trends. For example, it might be important to note trends
towards a global audience and how your recruiting and hiring practices will
support that based on changing demographics in the workforce.

Expect to take
approximately 2-3 pages to explain your plans. Your work will be graded on
content, clarity, creativity, correctness, and, above all, critical thinking
per the HRA Written Assignment Rubric.

Submit your assignment
