ABSTRACT:

The case describes the situation of a growing private sector firm where the size of the workforce had grown enormously. The Chief Executive found it difficult to maintain personal contact with everyone. It was generally felt that a Personnel Department needed to be established and run on professional lines. Therefore, the management wanted to appoint a Personnel Manager. Students are asked to identify the major functional responsibilities of the Personnel Department at Ammar and to evaluate two candidates who had applied for the post.
