This a discussion question assignment. Please answer in question and answer format. 50 words minimum per question

What are some of the key reasons why Lincoln’s compensation system is so effective at motivating high levels of job performance? Explain.

Answer only one of the following questions (your choice). Useful information for answering any of these questions will be found in class notes, the textbook, or online. Each of these sources will require some searching.

For each question, state whether:

  1. a) It would be desirable to use some form of pay for performance or not.
  2. b) What form of pay-for-performance might work (or does work) and why.
  3. c) Whether this is a case in which the firm should not use pay-for-performance, and if so, what alternative reward might be used to motivate job performance.

In all cases, assume that some appropriate combination of valid selection, and/or training, has been done. Another way of stating this, is to assume that knowledge skill and abilities to perform the job are sufficiently high. Therefore your answer does not need to discuss how high knowledge skill and ability was obtained, or how to remedy problems with low knowledge skills and abilities.

 

  1. Many jobs (perhaps 30% in the US economy) fit the characteristics of our model of individual simple job design. Lincoln Electric is a (World Class) company that manufacturers welding machines and welding supplies. While there are some high skill jobs at Lincoln electric, many of their jobs fit the model of individual simple job design. Lincoln electric is famous for its effective use of pay-for-performance. Briefly describe Lincoln electric’s piece rate and bonus pay-for-performance systems. What are some of the key reasons why Lincoln’s compensation system is so effective at motivating high levels of job performance? (You will easily find information on Lincoln electric and their compensation system online using Google.)
  2. Many managerial and professional jobs (for example engineer, computer programmer, nurse) may be characterized as individual complex, but do not have countable products or parts analogous to those in Lincoln electric’s manufacturing operations. Is it appropriate to use some form of pay-for-performance in these jobs? What kind of pay for performance plan might work well? What other things in the human resource system would be necessary to have effective paper for performance in these jobs?
  3. Some jobs in both manufacturing and service industries use teams that have the characteristics of group complex job design. (Recall the three defining characteristics of group complex jobs: Management holds team responsible for results & team holds individuals responsible for their performance; Teams are permanent; Team roles provide management within teams, and between teams). Would it be desirable to use some form of pay for performance in these jobs? What form of pay-for-performance might work? What are the advantages and especially disadvantages of this approach? If pay-for-performance is not used, then what alternatives might be available?

Analyze who will be more sensitive to price changes in what kind of products.

Price changes can have a significant impact on the overall economy of a nation. A product experiencing price change can lead to an exponential change in the prices of related products. The price of oil provides a good example of this concept. As oil prices increase, the price of gasoline also increases. As almost all products rely on gasoline, either in the production process or in the distribution process, the prices of these products also increase. As prices increase and incomes of consumers remain steady, spending decreases and products or services that have an elastic demand suffer. This assignment looks at some products you may be familiar with and allows you to analyze how price changes impact the overall economy.

Tasks:

Consider the last product or service you purchased for more than $50, excluding gasoline.

  • If the price of that product or service went up by 10% overnight, how would you adjust your behavior in the short term?
  • How would you adjust your behavior in the long term?
  • If you decide not to buy this product again, what will you buy instead?
  • Analyze who will be more sensitive to price changes in what kind of products.

Evaluate the situation that you think proposes the most significant consequences for society. What are the consequences that you foresee?

In the previous assignment and the assigned readings for this module, you analyzed industries, identified their market structures, and determined how management decisions are made on the basis of the market structure.

In this assignment, you will learn to determine the industry classification of specific market structures and industries.

Tasks:

Identify an article on any one of the following management decisions commonly made in an organization:

  • Cutting costs
  • Enhancing business operations
  • Increasing productive capacity using technology

You can consult sources such as the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times,Bloomberg Markets, the Economist, US News and World Report, and the Argosy University online library resources.

After reading the article, respond to the following:

  • Identify the unifying theme in the article. Does the theme pertain to economics and the reasoning for cutting costs, enhancing business operations, or increasing productive capacity using technology? How?
  • Evaluate the situation that you think proposes the most significant consequences for society. What are the consequences that you foresee?
  • If you were the regulator of the industry analyzed in the article, how would you decide the validity of the company policy in the article and why?
