Managing
Tom Zimmerman
Weaknesses:
He has never worked abroad for OEC and will retire in
about four and a half years. If the committees appoint
him to be the new managing director, similar problem
might occur. He also currently tied up with present
position as the operations he heads is being merged
with another. Furthermore he doesnt speak Spanish.
Verdict:
As such Tom Zimmerman is NOT LIKELY to be the
best candidate for the new Managing Director in Peru.
Brett Harrison
Weaknesses:
Even though Brett Harrison has working
experience abroad, but he lacks experiences in
international affairs. If Brett Harrison appointed to
be the new managing director of OEC in Peru, he
might encounter problem dealing with
international affairs. Furthermore, his annual salary
is the highest among 5 candidates selected.
Verdict:
As such Brett Harrison is NOT LIKELY to be the
best candidate for the new Managing Director in
Peru
Carolyn Moyer
Weaknesses:
Even though Carolyn Moyer graduated major in
international affairs in her undergraduate studies,
she actually has no working experience
internationally.
Verdict:
Carolyn Moyer is LIKELY to be the best candidate
for the new Managing Director in Peru due to her
interest in international duties, has good
performance ratings, unmarried, and speaks
Spanish
Francisco Cabrera.
Weakness:
Francisco has no international experience. He got
4 young kids (aged 2-7). His wife does not work
outside the home nor speak English. This could be
the major barrier if he is selected for the position
as it is difficult to relocate to a foreign company
because of his young family.
Verdict :
As such Francisco Cabrera is NOT LIKELY to be
the best candidate for the new Managing Director
in Peru
Juan Moreno.
Weaknesses:
Juan Moreno is lack with experience and only work
with OEC for four years. He has no international
experience and might have problem dealing with
international market. If he selected as a new
managing director, he might face problem controlling
the new assembly factory. Besides that, his education
also lower compared to Carolyn Moyer and Francisco
Cabrera.
Verdict:
As such Francisco Cabrera is NOT LIKELY to be the
best candidate for the new Managing Director in Peru
