Suppose that your CEO is concerned with your company's diversity and inclusiveness strategies. She states: "Diversity is part of our everyday life... We want people that have different ideas, different experiences, and different opinions. Diversity and inclusion will make us more competitive in the marketplace." She wants you, the Director of Organizational Development, to hold a series of focus groups aimed at gaining an understanding of current employees' perceptions of the company's diversity policy; and also obtain recommendations for the future.

While you have 100 employees who are qualified to take part in this study, you only have the time and funding to sample 10. Below is some information about your employees. Your goal is to obtain the most representative sample possible so that you can present valid recommendations to your CEO.

1:Use each of the sampling methods discussed below to select your 10 employees. Make sure to explain your process (how you selected them).

Sampling Method	Summary of Your Selection Process	10 Employees Selected
	Probability Sampling
Simple Random Sampling		1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Systematic Sampling		1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Stratified Random Sampling		1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Convenience Sampling		1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Question 2: Please answer the following questions :

1. Did you observe a difference in the employees who were chosen based on the sampling method used? What do you think are the implications for this?
2. Which method did you prefer? Why?
3. In this case, we had 100 employees. Suppose you have 10,000 employees around the globe. How might that change your preference?
