1. Discuss the link between human capital to the enterprise by using Fitz-Enz’s Human Capital-to-Enterprise pathway for the
organisation in the case vignette. For the human capital management level, determine the relevant human capital activities
(i.e., acquire, develop, manage, or retain) at the human capital management level that best relate to the initiative proposed by the
organisation.
2. Using IBM SPSS Statistics software, generate insights by analysing the data provided using the appropriate statistical analyses
(See Appendix 1 for more details on the data). Your insights should include justifications for the choice of statistical analyses and
descriptions of all significant results. These are the key questions that the company wants to answer based on the data collected.
(a) What are the variables that predict expatriate assignment satisfaction?
(b) Is the pre-departure training helpful in improving expatriate satisfaction? If so, what is/are the likely area/s in which the
pre-departure training for the expatriates helps to improve?
(c) Based on your analyses and results, recommend ONE (1) area of focus for the training and development team to consider so as to
better support the expatriates in their international assignments with explanations based on your previous results and from academic research.
(d) Examine TWO (2) key limitations in using this data and statistical analyses (e.g., reliability and/or validity) for your insights.
Please also state the implications of these limitations.
3. Appraise the types of human capital activity (i.e., acquire, develop, manage, or retain) that best reflect the measurements in the
international assignment survey with explanations. Propose TWO (2) measurements or metrics that can track the outcomes of the international assignment as stated by the purpose of the international assignment initiative described in the case vignette with
explanations.
