Read the case given and answer the questions:
Fahad and Hamza own SPORTZ, a medium-sized company that manufactures and sells
sporting goods and equipment. They are watching a CROSSKATES video about crosscountry roller skates in the LOUNGE. Hamza says, “I don’t know. This stuff looks
dangerous! What do you think? Remember that bungee-jumping thing we tried?”
Fahad responds, “Mysha was out a long time with that knee problem. She sure is a good
sport. Badar said we were lucky not to get sued for that. Do you think employees could
sue us if they are hurt on product-test assignments?”
“Let’s ask Mazen,” Hamza suggests. “That guy you hired as— what did you call him—
director of human resources?”
Fahad smiles broadly, “Yep. He sure seems to be busy. He’s pulled together all that
paperwork for insurance and retirement that Mysha used to handle and named her
compensation and benefits manager.”
“He wants to send Saad and Ahmad to a supervisor’s school for work scheduling, job
team assignments, and project management,” Hamza adds. “He started those picnics by
the LAGOON for people to talk about work conditions and issues.”
Fahad asks, “Do you think we should let him hire a full-time secretary? I thought Mysha
could do that, but Mazen said she has a full plate. Did you tell him to do that employee
bulletin board he tacked into the Web site?”
Hamza shakes his head no. “Me neither,” Fahad muses. “Wonder why he did that?
Guess we’d better talk to him.”

2. Identify the environmental influences important to SPORTZ? (4Marks)
