Signature Assignment: Information Literacy, Introduced level

In this assignment, your information literacy skills will be assessed. The information literacy rubric will be useful for this purpose. In the course MGT407, information literacy skills were assessed at the “introduced” level. In MGT411, they will be assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in MGT491 your information literacy skills will be assessed at the “emphasized” level. The grading rubric for information literacy at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT411 Case 1 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective assignments.

Review the required background readings for this Module, paying special attention to the topics of job evaluation, market pricing, and pay surveys.

Scenario:

You are an HR professional in your private-sector organization.

When your physical retail chain organization merged two years ago with a firm that specializes in online apparel retailing, your company had to hire 150 employees to keep up with growth. This brought your employee count to 250.

Up until the merger, your company paid top market rate, but once the merger took place the company adopted the merging company’s plan where pay was based 20% below market value. The base pay plan now in place is ineffective for the type of company yours has become, where 65-70% of your sales are online.

What role should job evaluation, market pricing, and pay survey data play in your efforts to develop a new base pay plan for your workforce? Your boss has asked you to come up with at least six sources useful for the top managers in your organization to learn about these processes.
