Read Chapter 11 in the textbook and the Week Six video mixes included in the Videos Folder in this module.
Read the McDonald’s vignette in Strategic Exercise #1 on page 472 in the 5th edition of your textbook. Carefully think about what should be included in the offer letter based on what you are trying to achieve.
Then, using the information from the “Intro to Week Six Video” and Chapter 11 in your textbook, complete the following:
Describe the goals of the offer letter based on the vignette and what you know of McDonald’s.
Develop a comprehensive, well-written offer letter for Pat Edwards that incorporates all necessary job offer components discussed in the intro video (including an employment-at-will clause) that meets the hiring goals.
Not only do you need to be sure that the letter contains all of the necessary information, but it must also be in the correct professional format.

2. Read the case study “Hiring FBI Agents” on pages 473-474 of your textbook.
First, thoroughly address the three questions at the end of the case (p. 474).
Next, answer the following question,” If you were a consultant, how would you suggest the FBI improve its process?” (As this is a graduate-level course, this will take some thought, development, and support, not just one or two sentences.)
