Problem
Percy Lugaen is the Vice President of Human Resources for Jackel Enterprises. He has just been informed that the company has decided to expand the business into new markets. Currently, the company does business in Illinois. The expansion will take the company into Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa. Jackel Enterprises is a retail manufacturer of outerwear for men, women, and children. Traditionally, the company only manufactures the items and sells them to retail outlets. The company expansion will take it into these markets and create new retail outlets for Jackel Enterprises to sell its merchandise directly. Creating a retail branch of the company means it will need human capital to manage the stores and sell the merchandise. What is the best training and/or development method to use in this situation and why?
