Merck & Co. is a pharmaceutical company with a history dating back to 1827. In the 1980s, Merck's performance began to lag behind competitors due to disappointing new products, inflation, and currency exchange rates. Merck's performance appraisal system rated employees on a scale of 1 to 5, but outstanding performers felt they were not adequately rewarded. The system lacked clarity and managers avoided low ratings, fearing employee discontent. In response, Merck formed an Employee Relations Review Committee to examine policies and ensure fair application, consistent communication, and a system encouraging productivity and excellence.

Propecia section b_group3
Merck developed Propecia to treat male pattern hair loss. Clinical trials found that 83% of men maintained their hair and 66% experienced regrowth within a year. However, some men saw no effect and stopping Propecia reversed benefits within a year. A small percentage of men experienced sexual side effects. The potential market was large since hair loss affected many men, but they were often unaware or resigned to it. Existing solutions like transplants, wigs, and Rogaine had limitations. Propecia faced challenges in targeting men just starting to lose hair who would benefit most, and overcoming concerns about side effects mentioned in advertising.

Case study on merck
Merck is facing losing patents on some major drugs like Vasotac and Mevacor. Possible solutions are mergers or focusing on innovation. Merck's new product process was previously slow to respond to competitors, but it now develops cross-functional teams early in the process. Developing specialized patented drugs helps Merck capture new markets. However, drug development faces risks if products fail trials or competitors launch first. The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges like patent expirations and increasing drug resistance. Porter's five forces analysis shows barriers to entry are high in pharmaceuticals due to R&D costs and required scale, while buyers have significant bargaining power.

Atlantic Computers: A Bundle of Pricing Options
The document discusses four pricing strategies for Atlantic Computers' new "Atlantic Bundle" product, which consists of their new Tronn server and PESA software. The strategies are: 1) status-quo pricing, 2) competition-based pricing, 3) cost-plus pricing, and 4) value-in-use pricing. After reviewing the strategies and conducting a break-even analysis, it is recommended to use value-in-use pricing of $4,200 per bundle. This captures the savings customers realize and has one of the lowest break-even points. Recommendations are also provided for training Atlantic's sales force to sell based on the bundle's value and savings. Potential reactions from main competitor Zink
Morning Star Case Study
The document discusses self-management at The Morning Star company. It was started in 1970 and believes in self-management rather than a traditional hierarchy. Employees have a CLOU (Colleague Letter of Understanding) that outlines their responsibilities and goals. However, issues arose with a lack of accountability, coordination, skills development and compensation decisions. The proposal suggests addressing these through premium pay for top performers, improving the compensation evaluation process, and adding both minimum fixed pay and variable premium pay. Self-management works best with peer accountability and initiative from all colleagues.

Sales Force Training at Arrow Electronics - Case Analysis
Arrow Electronics is a broadline distributor of electronics and semiconductor components. It began in 1935 and is now one of the largest distributors in the US. Arrow implemented the Sprouts program in the 1980s to hire and train recent college graduates as salespeople. This was done to address high turnover, lack of training, and hiring issues. The Sprouts program provided structured training but still had attrition issues as graduates were recruited by competitors. Arrow later implemented Pathways to continue recruiting and training college graduates, formalizing the process. It aims to address the shrinking industry pool and bring new talent into the salesforce.
Dominion Motor Ltd
Dominion Motors faces a challenge from an engineering report that could reduce demand for their motors. Their alternatives are to lower prices on a larger motor, reengineer smaller motors to higher torque, or build a new smaller motor. Building a new 5 HP motor allows them to be prepared if the report is accepted while avoiding actions that acknowledge the report prematurely. They will also lobby regulators and the engineer conducting the report to delay its impact and independently verify its findings.

Nitish@solutions unlimited

Joy of running case summary
Srinivas founded Joy of Running three years ago to promote long distance running and community health in Bangalore. The group grew to 200 members but faced challenges finding routes due to traffic. While multiple groups formed to meet demand, they prioritized profits over fitness. Expansion risks losing the community feel, but not expanding limits Joy of Running's impact. Careful expansion by appointing coaches from existing members, splitting into zones, and maintaining Srinivas's vision of health over wealth could allow more people to benefit while preserving quality.
Bi sysco
Here are two views on whether effective use of BI software could be a competitive differentiator for Sysco:
1. It may not provide sustained differentiation. While BI implementation gives Sysco insights, competitors could easily obtain the same software capabilities. Once competitors catch up, the competitive advantage would diminish. Continuous innovation is needed to stay ahead.
2. Effective use could provide differentiation. Merely having the tools is not enough - it is how the insights are applied that matters. If Sysco deeply integrates insights into strategic decision making and customer relationships, it could gain an edge over competitors still learning how to optimize their BI investments. Sustained differentiation depends on how Sysco leverages its BI capabilities rather than just the

Pfizer-Strategic Management Case
Pfizer is a large pharmaceutical company founded in 1849. In 2014, Pfizer's revenue was $53.8 billion with net income of $22 billion. Pfizer's top selling drugs include Lipitor, Lyrica, and Viagra. The company is evaluating strategic options to maintain its leadership position, including horizontal integration through an acquisition of AstraZeneca.

Taming the ever-evolving Compliance Beast : Lessons learnt at LinkedIn [Strat...
Just when you think you have your Kafka and Hadoop clusters set up and humming and you’re well on your path to democratizing data, you realize that you now have a very different set of challenges to solve. You want to provide unfettered access to data to your data scientists, but at the same time, you need to preserve the privacy of your members, who have entrusted you with their data.
Shirshanka Das and Tushar Shanbhag outline the path LinkedIn has taken to protect member privacy in its scalable distributed data ecosystem built around Kafka and Hadoop.
They also discuss three foundational building blocks for scalable data management that can meet data compliance regulations: a centralized metadata system, a standardized data lifecycle management platform, and a unified data access layer. Some of these systems are open source and can be of use to companies that are in a similar situation. Along the way, they also look to the future—specifically, to the General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into effect in 2018—and outline LinkedIn’s plans for addressing those requirements.
But technology is just part of the solution. Shirshanka and Tushar also share the culture and process change they’ve seen happen at the company and the lessons they’ve learned about sustainable process and governance.

Pay-for-performance aims to motivate employee behaviors through compensation. Research shows compensation influences joining, retention, skill development, and performance, though other non-pay factors also impact behaviors. Effective pay-for-performance requires: supporting business strategy through aligned structure and standards; distributing rewards fairly through amounts and procedures; and complying with laws to maintain reputation. Research overwhelmingly finds compensation motivates behaviors when designed and implemented properly.

Executive Summary
The purpose of this study and research will be is to show the flaws in the current logistics process and to develop a positive reinforcement for employees in the automotive sector. In doing so, the employees will develop a comfortable attitude in adjusting to the changes in the layout of how the company’s foundation is built and how that foundation’s usefulness is a major contributing factor to the overall success of the business, especially considering the fact that the automotive sector has at least one hundred thousand employees. Creating this survey offered the opportunity to find out what the root cause is of why employees are not reporting to work either on time, or at all. This methodology will be used to elaborate the data compiled in the company’s daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly reports. These same reports describe and display the hourly needs of employees, lost hour cases, vacation, personal time off, rehabilitation and training in the facility.
The company believes that with the proper resources in the production environment, and along with reliability, simplicity, and fundamental training skills there can definitely be a major change in the way employee retention can be improved. The company also agrees that they have a mutual obligation to sustain a foundation by incorporating a trustworthy dedicated program while leading the necessary awareness of training. The major conclusions drawn were that the observations and experiences of the data displayed will provide one the company with the knowledge to seek ways to reduce and eventually eliminate lost hours worked that occur in the workplace. The goal is to change the perception of the employees so they may by getting them to assist using suggestion programs in the hopes of future success.
Currently, the most important recommendationsare is that the automakers continue with the internal process implemented at this time. Further Additional research indicated that based on ...
Megalith Casestudy
Hay Associates developed a job evaluation system called the Hay System to help Megalith determine equitable compensation. The Hay System evaluates jobs based on three factors: know-how, problem solving, and accountability. It provides a systematic approach to measure relative job content and compare compensation based on job content rather than titles. While it helps establish clear career paths and pay structures, it is also complicated, emphasizes management know-how, and may be biased or not address team-based roles. Megalith used the Hay System to analyze its finance group and address issues around compensation not matching performance.

cl53_CEOPay
There is a large disconnect between public perception and corporate directors' views on CEO pay. While most of the public believes CEO pay is too high, directors believe it is appropriate. There is also disagreement on how to measure corporate performance and determine CEO contributions. Directors believe CEOs are responsible for 40% of company performance, but studies show it may be much lower. No standard model exists for determining the appropriate value sharing between CEO pay and shareholder returns. This lack of agreement means controversy over CEO compensation will likely continue.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
