Case discussion activity for Topic 9
In the given case study, Renate Schmidt has been faced with a management problem
which deals with the compensation of the newly appointed expatriate (Baker, 2017). The case
study has various managerial threats for the firm whereby the compensation which will be
offered to Anne is more than what is paid to the head of the organization and hence, Renate
believes that she will be required to adjust the pay but as Anne will be leaving the job in America
and hence, will be required to be compensated in that case.
Answer to Question 1
The different conflicting values in the case study:
Conflicting values can be rightfully described as the presence of certain factors which
tend to have an extensive impact on the functioning of a firm. The values in the case are as
follows:
1. The efficiency of the expatriate: Anne has been a crucial candidate for the job positioning
at the firm and has single handedly looked after various ventures of her prior companies
which makes her even more suitable for her previous organization (Kramar et al., 2014).
Engaging in this, the organization will be successfully able to ensure success and hence,
her recruitment is crucial.
2. The problem with the other employees: The primary problem with the other employees
is that they believe that the pay system is unfair in nature and that the new expatriates are
being paid more than themselves which demotivates them and hence, affects the
performance of the employees.
