CONTINUING CASE ASSIGNMENT Meet with the store manager of the retailer you have chosen for this Continuing Case Assignment. Ask the store manager which company HR policies he or she feels are very effective and which are not effective. Why?

Also ask the manager about the store’s policies concerning the legal and regulatory issues discussed in the chapter. Does the retailer have written policies that enable the manager to deal effectively with any situations that arise? Have situations arisen that were not covered by the policies? How were the situations addressed? To what degree does the manager feel that he or she is empowered to make decisions that affect the performance of the store? Would the manager like more or less decision-making authority? Why?
