MIMI BREWSTER
 PROBLEM

• HATHAWAY JONES, A LUXURY GOODS RETAILER IS FACING HARD TIMES

• SEEKING YOUNG, NEW, AND INNOVATIVE TALENT TO REGAIN THE COMPANY’S PRESTIGIOUS
POSITIONING.
• CEO OF HATHAWAY WAS INTERESTED TO HIRE MIMI.
• VIRGINIA, THE VP OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOUND SOME ARTICLES ON MIMI’S PAST

MIMI PARTICIPATED IN SOME PROTEST
AGAINST CHINA
THIS FACT COULD UNDERMINE THE WHOLE
DEAL WITH THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
AND COME TO RUIN THE PROJECT.
WHAT NOW!!
HER BEHAVIOUR SHOWS AN ANTI-
CHINA PERSONALITY
MIMI AS A PERSON DOESN'T AGREE
WITH THE CHINESE POLICIES
HOW MUCH THIS FACT COULD HURT THE
COMPANY ?
BEST CHOICE FOR THE POSITION ?
 PROBLEM ARISED DUE TO……

• THE LEGALITY OF USING THE INTERNET FOR PRE-SCREENING CANDIDATES AS PART OF THE
HIRING PROCESS
• MIMI'S LACK OF PROFESSIONAL INTERNATIONAL AND MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE (EXPATRIATES)
• IMPROPER DESCRIPTION OF THE POSITION IN CHINA.
• REPUTATION ON THE INTERNET
• IMPROPER AND INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
• RECRUITMENT OF A MANAGER FROM OUTSIDE
• LACK OF POLICY AND PROCEDURE IN RECRUITMENT
 SOLUTION ALTERNATIVES

1. THE COMPANY COULD HIRE MIMI AND TAKE FUTURE RISKS.

2. THE COMPANY SHOULD NOT HIRE MIMI, BECAUSE THE RISK THAT SHE WOULD BRING TO
THE COMPANY ARE TOO HIGH.
3. THE COMPANY COULD HIRE MIMI BUT NOT SEND HER TO CHINA, THEY COULD TURN HER
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHINA PROJECT IN THE USA
 RECOMMENDATION

• ALTERNATIVE NUMBER 2 IS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDED SUGGESTIONS.

• COMPANY SHOULD NOT HIRE MIMI TO WORK IN CHINA AND EVEN IN THE USA BECAUSE IT IS
A HUGE RISK FOR THE COMPANY.
• MIMI BEING IN A POSITION OF MANAGEMENT IN THE COMPANY SHE WOULD BE NOTICED
ANYWHERE.
• CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS TOTALLY UNFRIENDLY TO GOVERNMENT PROTESTERS AND MIMI IS
ONE OF THEM.
 CONCEPTS

• HIRING
• CONFLICT OF THOUGHT
• INTERNAL SECURITY
• BACKGROUND CHECK OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYEE
• HR POLICY
 CONCLUSION

• MIMI BREWSTER PROVED HER CALIBER AND TALENT THAT SHE IS SUITABLE FOR THE POST OF
GENERAL MANAGER.
• SHE ALSO HAD VARIOUS PLANS TO BOOST THE SALES AND SHE KNOWS WHERE AND WHEN
TO MADE CHANGES AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT THOSE CHANGES WHICH SHOWS HER
CREATIVITY AND RISK TAKER ATTITUDE.
• IT IS CLEARLY STATED BY THE CASE THAT ALTHOUGH MIMI IS ONE OF THE VERY POTENTIAL
CANDIDATE FOR THE COMPANY, RISKING A MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT FOR A CANDIDATE
WHO HAVE A HISTORY WITH MAJOR CONFLICT WITH GOVERNMENT CAN BE A HUGE RISK
FOR THE BRAND
