Angelo, an experienced wireless-equipment technician, had been pro
moted to manage a technical division in his organization because of
his demonstrated technical and human-relations skills. However, due
to a major restructuring at his company when it entered the e-commerce
arena, his position was eliminated and he was forced into the labor
market. Angelo was interviewed the same week by Company A and
Company B, two high-profile e-businesses. It took nearly three weeks
for both of the firms to “check out” Angelo’s background. The result
was that both companies offered him a job, but both were lower-paying
positions than Angelo had had in his previous position.
Company A is a dynamic high-technology corporation that makes
little effort to develop its own people. In fact, it takes great delight in
hiring tOp people away from its competitors. Company A is interested
in Angelo primarily because of his technical skills and the fact that he
would become productive immediately.
Company B, however, is a technical organization that offers a lot of
security to employees because of its rather firm PFW policy. They like
Angelo not just because of his technical abilities but especially because
of his long-range potential for management.
Although the starting salary with Company A is substantially
higher, the training program with Company B is superior. All other sig-
nificant factors are similar.
