case study

Case 2: Your Turn, Two-Tier Wages

You will read the assigned case in the book and respond, in detail with appropriate citations (APA style) and support for your responses, to the associated discussion questions. These are brief assignments (2-3 pages, double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, with 1” margins) that comprise 10% of your total grade and are important for understanding application of strategic compensation strategies and the elements affecting pay decisions.

Grading for these assignments is detailed in the provided rubric and will take into consideration not only the direct answers to the questions at the end of each case, but the detail with which you include the information covered in the book (e.g., concepts, theories, etc.), as well as the inclusion of information found (and properly cited) beyond the book is imperative in achieving a good score.

It is expected that you will use not only the text, but some of the required readings in the course to support your analysis of the case. Appropriate parenthetical citations are expected and an accompanying references page is also required. The reference page does not count towards the 2-3 page expectation.

Plagiarism is a serious offense and can result in a zero on the assignment, a zero in the course, or suspension/expulsion from the university. If you need further information regarding citation, I highly encourage you to visit the Purdue OWL website (Links to an external site.).

Each student will peer review two other student case analyses for a grade using the same rubric.

IMPORTANT: Late assignments will not be accepted under any circumstances.
