MERIDIAN MANAGEMENT SCHOOL (MMS)
Mini Case Study Analysis (Human resource Perspective)

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Management School of Meridian University is a specialist Postgraduate management school. MMS has being established 15 years before this case study was written since then MMS became leader in the field of postgraduate management. MMS has wide portfolio of courses both fulltime and part-time basis this was partly because of easy procedure for introducing new course.
MMS has its own dedicated staff headed by head of school. The other staff of MMS composed of 20 academic staff, one SAO and 4 administrators from the four different divisions of MMS namely: Organisational Behaviour/Human Resource Management, Operation Management, Finance & Economics and Marketing.
The organisational structure of MMS had relative flat structure, the academic staff who were equally divided into the four subject divisions were either lecturer or senior lecturer. In addition to that senior lecturer were only in a higher grade of the Salary scale of MMS but had same condition of employment with the lecturers.
Currently MMS is facing problem of losing important staff who were important for the smooth going of school activities at a critical time of the year when MMS is getting ready for the new intake.

SWOT analysis will help to me to understand fully the situation of MMS David, Fred R. 1993. There is also general consensus that recommendations will bring sustainable solutions if they address root causes not symptoms. The other issues
