Opening New Dunkin’ Donuts Locations
Introduction
As the new district manager for Dunkin’ Donuts, my responsibility is to oversee every aspect of the new stores opening so that they can deliver the expected returns for the investor. Successful returns will depend upon making the right staffing choices, and that will in turn depend upon designing the right jobs and organization to facilitate that process. This paper will focus on explaining the job design, organizational design, recruiting strategy and methods, and training and performance appraisal process that are to be employed by me as the new district manager for Dunkin’ Donuts.
Job Design
Job design is the process of engineering jobs that allow the applicable tasks and responsibilities to be achieved for the organization by people empowered to execute them. This process involves identifying the type of worker and the type of output expected, the goals of the organization and the needs that must be met. The job design for Dunkin’ Donuts is to recognize the pool of talent that is out there and how that pool can best be utilized. As Mirowky and Ross (2007) point out, it is important that health issues be taken into consideration when thinking about people and work. For this particular district, the pool of talent does consist of many older people and designing jobs that both play into their strengths and are conscious of their weaknesses will ensure that the talent brought in is a right match. Job design will be structured around the essential components of each branch and what each branch requires to be fully functioning, and will include description of skills needed, tasks to be accomplished, significance of the work, level of autonomy required, and job feedback.

Dunkin Donuts Internship When most people think of Dunkin Donuts, they will often associate it with the many franchises and the quality of the products they provide.

The employee does, however, receive recognition and has the possibility of extrinsic rewards such as pay raises and promotions. The relative lack of positive goals for the cashier/finisher position is ineffective. Employees are not encouraged to seek new, higher standards of performance because they face limited advancement and pay raise prospects. The company's emphasis on minimum standards works well, but the bagel example shows how better use of positive goal-setting

The popularity of the first Dunkin’ Donuts shop convinced Rosenberg
Corporation Starbucks is a successful coffee chain. The organizational structure is geographic, and decision making is mainly centralized with respect to strategy, and many operational decisions even at the local level come with strong guidance from head office.
