discussion 2305

Read Case for Critical Analysis “Lauren’s Balancing Act” at the end of Chapter 12 (pp. 549-550) about motivating employees. Respond to the following questions:

  • What do you see as the advantages and disadvantages of the incentive system that DeMarco’s is using for sales associates? What impact do you think it’s having on the DeMarco’s culture? Explain.
  • Do you think the complaints of lower-paid sales associates are legitimate? Why? How do you suggest that Lauren respond to these complaints, such as the gripe that the system offers few opportunities for large commissions in some departments?
  • Have the successes of sales associates such as Katherine and Damien created a situation in which customers’ loyalty to particular salespeople is stronger than their loyalty to the store? For example, if a successful associate leaves DeMarco’s, might the customer leave also? Explain.
