Chapter 7 in the textbook will be covered as reading assignments. The assignments will help students digest the material required for each week. Discussion posts and replies should be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. The initial discussion post is to be no less than 600 words, be in APA format, must reference material from the textbook and academic journals. You will need at least three journal references and the textbook. Start your research with the textbook chapter 7 as attached, so it always grounds your topic. Once you have completed your research return to your “initial post” and respond to it, actually past the paper’s body in the message section (for your peers to read) but attach the actual article so the professor can review it for proper APA formatting.

Discuss on Managerial Decision Making

 

Part I: Descriptive

Evaluate the decision making described in this case. Focus on the following four questions (but some sections will be longer than others).

  1. Analyze King’s customer experience using course concepts. What makes their free-to-play games so successful? NOTE: Talk about the psychology from the players’ perspective.
  2. Analyze the strengths in King’s decision making process, and what decision errors or biases these strengths reduced or eliminated. NOTE: Parts B & C are about organizational decisions, not about customer psychology.
  3. Analyze the weaknesses in King’s decision making process (errors, biases, etc.). Be specific about identifying the psychological drivers underlying these shortcomings.
  4. What are the psychological factors influencing Zacconi’s decision to accept Activision’s acquisition offer? NOTE: The actual decision is irrelevant. I’m only interested in what influenced his decision. (HINT: This is mostly found on p.1 & 9).

Part II: Prescriptive

Based on your Part I analyses, how can King Digital improve their decision making?

  1. Suggest one or two prescriptions that would help a company like King make better decisions in such situations (these should flow from Part I—this is not the place to introduce new weaknesses). Be as specific as possible about what you would do and what biases or errors you are trying to combat. Be concrete about how these prescription(s) would be implemented. Consider the costs (money, time, and psychological) associated with your suggested changes and be realistic. Please be creative here, but justify your prescriptions using concepts only from this class.
  2. Be aware that executives may not be particularly receptive to these prescriptions. What are the psychological sources of resistance? How might being acquired by Activision help overcome the resistance or make it worse?

Discuss the importance of Customer service

Respond to 2 peers. Include at least 2 outside sources in your postings for full credit.

Larry Fowler

 1.  Annika wants to implement a customer service test for her store. You compared two and found the following validity correlation coefficients: Test 1=.15, Test 2=.75. Annika prefers Test 1. Why do you recommend Test 2 over Test 1? 

Test 2 has a different validity correlation coefficient than Test 1. However these tests have different factors and results based on these results going forward.  Test 2 also gives a different option than the option Test 1.  Test 1 has a different possible outcome based on these results.  Technology has also given rise to  more available data on individuals and new tools that enable organizations to mine these data for competitive advantage (Pulakos & Kantrowitz, 2016).

Customer service is important because companies look to retain customers and learn about their needs and exceed their needs.  Customer service reviews also factor into both Tests as this company looks to evaluate to where they can improve the customer service experience.

Zakkiyya Kelly

2. After implementing the customer service test, you found it results in disparate impact in gender. When would it be acceptable to use a measure that predicts job success, but that results in adverse impact?

Disparate impact in gender, or gender discrimination is not acceptable or condoned within the workplace and should never be acceptable. The only reason I could think of for when it would be, is to perhaps compare qualitative and quantitative statistics of job success between the company’s male and female employees, or to perhaps compare job retainability statistics between the two genders. It is against employment laws and EOC laws and policies to discriminate in employment. Gender discrimination may exist in various dimensions which include hiring discrimination, differences in salary and wages, discrimination/differences in promotion and inequity related to different goods and facilities provided to different gender (Abbas, 2011). Gender discrimination affect on employee productivity at a 95% confidence level which explained strong association between gender discrimination and employee productivity (Abbas, 2011).

For any business to predict the job success of an employee, this may present more difficult, as human behavior is something that may be observed, but predictions may be unforeseeable. Burnout, work stressors, work conflict, unhappiness in the job (over time), and work/home imbalances may affect an employee’s performance over time, or they could remain enthusiastic and productive during the remainder of their time on the job. The validity coefficient is a number between 0 and +1 that indicates the magnitude of the relationship between a predictor (such as test scores) and the criterion (such as a measure of actual job success) (Phillips, 2020, p.319). The validity coefficient is the absolute value of the correlation between the predictor and the criterion (Phillips, 2020, p.319). Because jobs and people are complex, a single measure can never fully predict what a person’s job performance will be because success on the job depends on so many factors. Therefore, validity coefficients rarely exceed .40 in staffing contexts (Phillips, 2020, p.319).  Several factors which could affect job success may include: Following the rules; Being courteous; Being a team player; Finding a mentor; Fitting in the with organization’s culture; Conquering negativity; and Finding a work-life balance (Goodwill Community Foundation, Inc., 2021).
