Overview:

To understand how to design a comprehensive compensation strategy, you will apply your learning to the selected case study.

Instructions:

Continue with the same company you selected for Case Study 1 analysis.

Record your name, the date, and the company name you have chosen for your case study on the title page of your paper.

Each question should be at least 2-3 paragraphs to illustrate your understanding. Review the grading rubric before writing your paper.
