Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A differentiation strategy seeks to set an organization apart from its competitors by offering unique and superior products or services. To achieve this, the organization must have employees with specific skills, knowledge, and characteristics that support their competitive advantage. Therefore, the selection tools the organization would choose would be tied to identifying those characteristics. Competency tests and reference checks might be useful, but they would be tailored to measure the specific skills and abilities required for the position. Quick, low-cost selections of employees may not result in the identification of the best candidates for the job, and measuring dependability would not necessarily be a priority compared to identifying unique skills and abilities.
