They do not want specific policies but rather guiding principles that will help them collect data and write specific HR policies later.

•Describe the type of business, the number and types of employees (such as exempt and non-exempt), and the customer base you will use as your example company for this assessment, as well as the state and city or area of the state where your company is located.

•Identify a business strategy that is most appropriate for the company, and include an analysis of why you believe this is the case.

•Discuss the appropriate business response, HR program alignment, and compensation system for this new business.

•Describe an HR program aligned with the business strategy chosen for the new company.
