Question

Scenario:Hector runs a small graphic-design company.He has two assistants. Sasha is very good at producing computer-generated graphics, but she is not as talented at designing logos. The other assistant, Maurice, is skilled at designing logos with pen and paper, but is not very efficient when working on the computer.In the past, Hector had Sasha and Maurice each perform some design and some computer work. Now, Hector is wondering whether this is a wise use of his resources.
How should Hector use specialization to solve his problem?
Based on the scenario, recommend which employee should work on which task.

Answer 1

We are given the skills of each worker:

Sasha is very good at producing computer-generated graphics
Maurice is skilled at designing logos with pen and paper

To address the immediate problem, Hector's action should be to assign Maurice to do the design in a paper then pass it to Sasha for generating it on the computer. It could also be that if a client requests a paper design, Maurice does it and for computer-generated designs, Sasha will do it. 

The corrective action that he should do is let Sasha and Maurice attend trainings for their weaknesses. <span />

Answer 2

Hector should have his employees specialize so that they can make use of their advantages. Because Sasha has an absolute and comparative advantage when doing computer work, this should be her task. This means that Maurice should spend his time on logo design. By making these changes, Hector will help his employees work more efficiently.
