Exam 3 Study Guide
MGMT 4020 Exam 3 Study Guide – Fall 2012
As I discussed in class, exam 3 will cover chapters 11-14. The exam will consist of 40 multiple choice questions worth 5 points each, and a one-page essay.

The questions are:
1. How does EEO law affect the practice of human resource management in three functional areas (examples: recruitment, training, variable pay, etc.)? Please be specific, especially with regard to the laws themselves.
2. How is diversity changing the practice of human resource management across multiple functional areas (examples: recruitment, training, variable pay, etc.)? Again, be specific.
3. How will a continued economic slowdown and increased unemployment affect the practice of human resource management across multiple functional areas? Again, be specific.
Beyond the learning objectives at the beginning of the chapters and the definitions, study these questions:
