...Kelly Services, Inc. 999 West Big Beaver Road Troy, MI 48084 December 2, 2012 Mr. Laszlo Bock, Senior Vice President People Operations Google, Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 Dear Mr. Bock: You’re invited to join 90% of Fortune 500 companies that have streamlined human resource management while maintaining a high performing workforce. We at Kelly Services are making this offer because we know it’s hard for growing companies to process job applicants and continue recruiting top talent while controlling expenses. Adapting the hiring process to meet the needs of a large company requires a special approach. Recruiting efforts must be coordinated to avoid wasted endeavors. Outsourcing projects is a consideration to limit rising recruiting cost. To add complexity, offering a broad spectrum of products and services on a global scale requires workers with various skill sets in multiple countries around the world. It is necessary to fill specific positions, while juggling the need to maintain equal opportunities for individuals with diverse backgrounds. Geographic and cultural barriers can make it hard to source qualified workers. Kelly Services understands the issues facing Google and knows the difficulties involved in managing human resources in a large organization without an experienced partner. That is why we are offering our proven expertise, which has won multiple awards from successful companies such as Chrysler, Ford, Intel,...

...Week 4 group project Nova Biomedical USA Final Draft You have asked me to research and analyze a company that we could potentially enter into a mutually beneficial business agreement with. According to research I have gathered from several different sources Nova Biomedical USA would be an excellent candidate. We have the potential to meet all of their staffing needs, just as they have the ability to become a profitable contract for us. Nova Biomedical develops, manufactures and sells advanced technology blood testing analyzers based on electrochemical and optical measuring techniques. They employ over 1,000 people and have sales and service subsidiaries in 7 countries and distributors in over 90 other countries. Nova has manufacturing facilities in Waltham and Billerica, Massachusetts, as well as Taipei, Taiwan (Unknown, 2012) “Nova is one of the 25 largest in vitro diagnostic companies in the world and the largest privately owned in vitro diagnostic company in the United States." (Unknown, 2012) As the above quote from Nova's website states they are a large company and are involved in a global industry. This is one reason Nova is a good fit for Kelly Services. In the past decade Nova had been through some trying times and a major change. They have been through two significant intellectual property lawsuits involving patents and trade secrets (Salzman, 2013). Though they came out victorious...

...The Dollar General Informal Analytical Report Professor XXX DeVry University June 1, 2014 999 West Big Beaver Road Troy, Michigan (USA) 48084 kfirst@kellyservices.com Dollar General is widely regarded as one of the chief discount vendors in the United States. Based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, it has over 11,000 stores across 40 states, serving to customers with the idea of making shopping easier, and convenient, by carefully sorting out the goods, and selling them at spectacularly low prices, the store’s growth rate saw a decline Because the targeted audience of Dollar General looks for buying everyday household good at the lowest prices, they are suspended to growing more in periods of recessions. Such stores find themselves under pressure at times because they cannot increase the prices of their goods even when the costs of operations are on the rise. By analyzing the average earnings of household in the West of the country, as well as Upper-Midwest, there is room for growth courtesy of new stores. Opening of their stores in California could well be stressful for them, as the market is challenging, and there is little room for newcomers, unless they come up with impressive deals. On the other hand, their plan of having a merger with their rivals Family Dollar is on the cards, though it is hard to figure out the impact it would have on the two parties/the newly formed company. Also, Dollar General does not cater all departments...

... BMGT 110 (6981) – UMUC Final Project Professor S. Goyal Abstract Kelly has a well established lunch business and is ready to take the next logical step with her company, expansion. She will need to develop and implement a strategic addendum to her business plan, that will focus primarily on the growth of the company, in order to meet her range of goals. The proper business plan will entail more than just demonstrating how her revenue will grow by the numbers; Kelly’s growth strategy must attest to her capability to responsibly bring her food services to new customers and new markets, perhaps even introducing new products. Growth Strategy The first step that needs to be taken to in the organization and prioritization of Kelly’s growth strategy is for her to diagnose the health of her business. This preliminary step involves gathering the detailed information about each of Kelly’s four business divisions (finance, human resources, marketing, and operations), so that she is able to measure exactly how well the business is doing and pinpoint where changes will be needed. Kelly, preferably with an advisor, should scour through the business information, cash flow and income statements, balance sheets and statements of owner’s equity, analyzing her company SWOT (strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats) in order to better assess the company’s capabilities and expansion needs. The value of a SWOT analysis is two-fold, as not only does it allow Kelly to evaluate her own company...

...the reason. Chris Martinas, VP of Product Development and Pat Lambert, the new Director of Marketing have been collaborating on a new product that has to be initiated by the final part of the year. The new product happens to be the iScanner, which they have previously promoted except it will have new features, which makes it new and more advanced. The two of them have been figuring out a way to lower the budget by 15% and try not to not dismiss current employees. They have the funds of 400 K to use and have to convene with the right departments to launch the project. There was a problem through the emails among Pat Lambert and Kelly Thomas, Chief Engineer of Product Software. Kelly designed the original iScanner that was the groundbreaker in the developing retinal scanning security business. After discussing with you about the making of the product and not going outside 400K, Chris emailed Pat and Kelly on the way to do that and the way they could reach the deadline in August. The initial reply to that email was from Pat Lambert, the email was very optimistic and stated how Lambert did not think that it was going to be an issue to generate. The email after that was from Kelly saying that the team was placing themselves in a bad area with this project. Kelly asked Pat, “How can we maintain our existing service with our already short staff, and find time to make up something new”? She stated that “product development just doesn’t work that way”. The next email was from Chris and...

...Creating, Financing, and Marketing a Business BUS 100 March 3, 2013 Creating, Financing, and Marketing a Business A partnership is a voluntary agreement under which two or more people act as co-owners of a business for profit (Kelly & McGowen, 2012, p. 76). There are some advantages of this form of agreement whereas each partner has the right to participate in the company’s management and share in profits and losses, but also has unlimited liability for any debts the company incurs. A partnership is easier to establish compared to a corporation. Each partner will share start-up cost, and reciprocate support and motivation. Partnership earnings that pass through the business are taxed only as the partners’ personal income. In contrast to, unlimited liability, partners are jointly and individually liable for the business activity of the other. If a partner withdraws from the partnership, he is still responsible for any debt the business had at the time of withdrawal, it does not matter who created the obligation. Decisions are shared and differences of opinion can lead to disagreements, which can lead to one partner buying out the other. The various funding options for small businesses offer an individual an alternative to partnership. Federal, state, and local governments have all created government subsidy or incentive programs try to facilitate small business funding. Commercial banks and private investors also play a key role in funding small businesses...

...having worked in “back-office” functions since graduation, I have always been very detail oriented and focused on the minutia of operations. As I progress on the career ladder, I want to develop a more holistic view of the business place. I know the Kelly program can develop the view for me. I want to advance my strategic skills, marketing skills, negotiating skills, and especially forecasting skills. I have realized I have difficulty seeing the big picture and that is necessary in management. My realizations were solidified when I took part in the Granola Project. During the project, I was very comfortable with taking on the financial analysis portion of our report/presentation. However I found that I was resistant to taking on a leading role, besides support research, in the other aspects. Since my overall goals are harder to measure, the gaps that I discovered while being involved in the Granola Project can be converted into more measurable and specific goals. One such goal is to be promoted to manager around this time next year. Currently I have the technical skills, but I would like to enhance my managerial capabilities. I find myself resistant to want to embrace the soft skills side of business. I am hoping the Kelly program will broaden my horizons and give me the tools I need to be able to see the big picture. I know...
