...long checkout lines. This sparked the idea for a smaller store that only carries the most frequently bought items for the customer’s convenience. Nicknamed convenience stores for very obvious reasons, these little establishments exist all over the world and carry just about any little thing you might need at a very local distance. Inventory differs largely based on location and ownership, but these stores will carry everything from water to groceries and even motor oil. In Japan, most convenience stores are smaller and family owned with many of the locals nicknaming them “family marts.” One lucky owner managed to make enough money to open several stores and created a franchinse named Famima!!, a contraction of the family mart nickname. Through smart investing and marketing, he was able to turn his tiny convenience store into a corporation and business. Today Famima!! has extended its reach into the United States and offers an alternative to the well-known and dominant 7-11’s and Circle K’s. The Famima!! stores currently serve the greater Los Angeles area and one of the stores has even appeared in the 2010 movie Inception by Christopher Nolan. Today I will be meeting with Kevin Chan, the Los Angeles District Manager and interviewing him about the internal control policies Famima!! Co. has in place. Name, Title and number of years working with that current company? KC: Kevin Chan, Los Angeles Famima!! District Manager. I have been working for Famima!! for 6 years. What is the...

...descriptions, and this is what I came up with. In Managing Human Resources (Snell, Bohlander 2013 pg.153) job descriptions should have the job title and location section, a jobs identification section, and a job duties section. Both, job descriptions did include this information, but the title headings were labeled differently. In the identification section, the job of retail manager, listed online, lacked the information of who the employee reports to and the date the information was last revised. There is no way of knowing if the information is up to date, as job duties tend to change in the ever changing business industry. In the Employment Assistant job description there is two sections, one titled “job statement” and the other titled “essential functions” (Snell, Bohlander 2013 pg. 154) that list the job duties, functions, and responsibilities. There is much more of a description listed of what is to be expected of the employee on this job description. On the retail store manager description it is titled “your role” (Lifetouch Portrait Studios, Inc.), and it contains much less information and less of a clearer picture of what is to be expected of you. While both job descriptions have included the necessary information for a job description, the retail manager job description included some additional sections that told you about their company and why should work for them. I found the information to be appealing and beneficial and knowing more about the company...

...Management The purpose of this paper is to produce a job description for a retail sales associate, generate an organizational behavior modification plan to define key behaviors that are required for successful job performance as a retail associate, specify ways that HR would measure whether current employees exhibit the key job performance behaviors, outline a plan with methods of providing feedback to employees, and examine three key legal and ethical issues that could potentially impact the performance management system. Retail Sales Associate Job Description According to Noe/Hollenbeck Gerhart/Wright 2014, a job description is “a broad, general, and written statement of a specific job, based on the findings of a job analysis. It generally includes duties, purpose, responsibilities, scope, and working conditions of a job along with the job's title, and the name or designation of the person to whom the employee reports. Job description usually forms the basis of job specification”. Retail sales jobs comprise an expansive range of duties and activities conditional on the service and merchandise offered by the organization. The job description undoubtedly summaries the tasks and activities of a retail sales job and provides a description of the skills, knowledge and key competencies required for the job. Below is a job description for the position of a Retail Sales Associate. Duties Support a team selling store environment that conveys a customer dedicated experience for the guest...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The term paper is based on different types of works of a Super Shop named Whole Foods. There are nine types of jobs given in the question without any job title; it says what the jobholders need to do, and what requirements the jobholders need to have. We need to assign titles to each job and do job descriptions and job specifications for all the job positions, and conduct Job Evaluation of all the jobs using the Point Method. To do the point method we need to identify and define the compensable factors on which we will do the evaluation, then justify why we have chosen those factors, decide the scale for the factors, assign weight to the factors, then justify why we gave such weight. At last, from the result, we need to prepare a job structure. 1. Objective: The objective of the report is to have the real time experience of preparing the following things: ✓ Job Description ✓ Job Specification ✓ Job Evaluation by using Point Method ✓ Job Structure.
