The term "assessment center" is really a catch-all term that can consist of some
or all of a variety of exercises. Assessment centers usually have some sort of in-
basket exercise which contains contents similar to those which are found in the
in-basket for the job which is being tested. Other possibilities include oral
exercises, counseling simulations, problem analysis exercises, interview
simulations, role play exercises, written report/analysis exercises, and leaderless
group exercises (Coleman, 1987; Filer, 1979; Joiner, 1984). Assessment centers
allow candidates to demonstrate more of their skills through a number of job
relevant situations (Joiner, 1984).
Role Playing
Case Competencies:
Role play
Case Study Summary:
Abhayankar was an engineering firm with a turnover of Rs. 600 crore last
year and an employee strength of 1800. Two years ago, as a sequel to
liberalization at the macroeconomic level, the company had restructured
its operations from functional teams to product teams. The change had
helped speed up transactional times and reduces systemic inefficiencies,
leading to a healthy drive towards performance.
But, Gautam Ghosh Vice President (R&D) didn’t like the plan as he felt
that each of his scientist is skilled in particular event and they need not
get all skills. Avinash Sarin , Vice President (Sales) liked the scheme but
he felt it would be unfair to the person who has worked hard in the team
when the other members of the team were not performing. Same was the
case with Vipul Desai Vice President (Finance) who was happy with the
scheme but he felt that there was a loophole in it to tackle external
factors which bring the performance down. Samuel Manezes, President
was not sure if this plan will work. He didn’t want to take risk as
Abhayankar Ltd, always got the top billings among the ten companies
Indian managers fancy most as a working place. They had been the trend
setters in executive compensation in Indian industry.
Conclusion:
Thus, Human resource applications are important and provide support
to the Organization and help them to build strategies.
And, Role play is a useful technique for thinking about difficult
situations before they occur, so that you have good pre-prepared
responses for the different eventualities that can arise. Role-play can
also be used to analyze problems from different perspectives, to spark
brainstorming sessions, to experiment with different solutions to a
problem, to develop team work, and help group problem-solving.
