Question 1
Toyota uses low cost strategy will Coca-Cola uses differentiation strategy. Both the companies
use Strategic Total Rewards Management. This is one of the best strategies used by various other
companies around the world. As for the case of an IT company in the UAE especially Dubai it is
better for it to also adopt a Strategic Total Rewards Management. This is a better total reward
strategy. The use of strategic Total Reward systems is considered as the best amid all the other
strategies that companies should adopt. As of the case of an IT company in the UAE, it should
adopt such a strategy in order to pursue the current IT market. Due to the fact that the IT market
in the UAE has already bloomed, such a company needed to strategically determine the best
interest of the people especially its employee in order to motivate its workers so as to increase it
marker domination.
Question 2
The level of rewards determines the extent at which the performance of an organization will be.
This outcome is evaluated based on the motivation the employees get. It is clear that highly
motivated employee are industrious and eventually produce better performance. Most
organization around the world as well as others in the UAE get low performance due to low
motivation levels of rates of their employees. As a result the outcome of the does not meet the
goals and the objectives of the organization or businesses. Therefore, organization should
ensures that they motivate there employees by giving them rewards that are in accordance to
their performance. Employees should be paid based on their output.
Question 3
3. The following are the forms of pay that one can get from work; guaranteed pay, variable pay as
well as equity based pay. However, on the personal list the only pay is benefit pay. Based on an
employee’s perspective, the best form of pay is guaranteed pay while to that of the employer it’s
the variable pay. The reason for stating that employee prefer guaranteed pay is that they are sure
that at the end of the day of month or contract they are sure of getting their pay. On the other
hand, employers do not prefer that because they consider that such kind of pay will not favor
performance. They prefer that payment or reward is made after the performance is evident.

Question 1
The three selections are: lecturer, graduate assistant and the last is Tutorial fellow. The best way
to conduct a job analysis for the above position is first to take note of the position that I would
prefer among the three. This will be done using various sources of job information. For this case,
I will collect all the needed information from friend as well as get the information from the
media such as company websites and newspapers. I will evaluate the above three jobs based on
their salary, scheme of services as well the duration of the contract offered. The rationale behind
choosing the above is that is not only gives me the best time frame to get the needed job but also
to secure the most flexible of all. However, I consider that job analysis can be undertake from
other different perspectives but the most considerable one is using job descriptions. Sources of
job data and information can also be obtained from third party organization that render job
analysis as well as conduct recruitment and selection.
Question 2
First the base pay structure should take into consideration of the level of education the employee
has, the audience he or she is yet to attend to, the level of difficulty will also be considered when
4. I determine the base pay structure, and overview of the task to be performed by the employees.
In addition, the nature as well as the working environment will also be considered when
structuring the base pay structure. An evaluation of the pay structure should also be on board so
as to determine the base pay for each of the employees in the organization. Apart from the above
requirements, it will be considerable to consider employee representation during the structuring
of the base pay. This will increase employees’ clarification of their demands during the
structuring. Other stakeholder such as inflation and tax experts must also be on board to ensure
that the base pay structure is up to date.

Question 1
Compensation can be defined as the returns that an employee gets from the work he/she does for
an organization of himself. The level of compensation matters with the type of output from the
respective employee. From a United States perspective, compensation is considered entitlement
for work done. The latter means that all the employee have the right to be compensated not
considering the output as compared to my definition. However, I consider that compensation
should be evaluated in-terms of rewards since one is compensated with respect to the effort he or
she has rendered to an organization or at the workplace. Despite the fact that the word had
different definitions, it is vital to determine the nature of work we are into before defining it. For
example, military personal are really entitled to their pay but a casual work in a construction site
is rewarded for his service.

Question 3
Lecturer
This is a position that has a lot of prestige in the UAE. Most people are paid more than AED
15,000. It is ideal to consider that there are various factors that must be considered before, taking
a lecturer position in the UAE. First, the individual should appreciate the fact that the person
must be disciplined and has the highest level of education as compared to the students. For one to
be a lecturer, he/she must have a master’s degree and above. A lecturer position is among the
well-paying jobs in the country, but the provisions for the job are very high. This is because they
are known to be the top cream of a nation. It is from such people that have other better people
such as doctors as well as other politicians. Thus, the potential employee seeking such position
should have outstanding public relation as well as credited student to teacher relationship. In
addition, background checks are vital when handling such jobs so the employee should be aware
that he/she has to undergo background checks before being enlisted or employed as a lecturer in
the UAE.
Doctor
7. This is almost highly paid jobs in the UAE. Very few people have qualified to be doctors in the
country. The job is highly paid with not less than AED 50,000 per month. The qualifications
expected are high. A doctor need to be an exemplary medical performance before being
employed. He/she also needed more than 5 years of experience before being employed to senior
medical positions in the UAE. Having made the top jobs in the country, the job analysis of such a
position should be very complex. The employee with such qualifications have to undertake
serious job analysis to determine if there are able to meet the job description offered to them in
the job adverts. Therefore, it is ideal that the employee seeking such working position should not
only have a deep job search in order to ascertain the best job description, but also should take
his/her search to government and non-governmental organization as they are the only areas that
could offer such position. Due to the fact that the job is well paying it also calls for time
dedication.
IT technician
This job pays less as compared to the above two in the UAE. Employee get even less than
AED10, 000 for such jobs. IT technician jobs vary according to their level of education. Diploma
and graduate employee are paid differently, but most of the jobs are for diploma holders. This
informs the employee that the works can only be done with less qualification and handling it in
more qualifications could lead to over equalization in the interview. On the other hand, the ideals
is that the work could also be done with a graduate qualification but this can only be done with
professional of higher job status. For example, there are IT technicians who are employed by
large organizations like companies and other big organization. As for the case of the above, the
qualifications goes even beyond mere graduate position to post graduate status. Thus, the ideals
8. of such a job calls not only for a deeper understanding of the job analysis but also the potential
employee ought to have proper sources of information and data about the job.
