Riordan Problem Solution Paper and Defense

Using the Riordan Problem Solution Template, develop a 3,000-4,500-word paper in which you propose a solution to help Riordan develop a comprehensive motivation and rewards strategy. Remember that your solution needs to focus on the human capital concepts covered in the course (see the mind maps in Weeks Four through Six on your rEsourceSM course page). Be sure to incorporate appropriate citations from your readings and research.

NOTE: The word count does not include the tables.

Be prepared to sell your solution to your peers and defend your ideas. The instructor will determine the method that this defense will take.

concepts in the mind maps for weeks 4 through 6. In addition to reading the assigned text materials to develop knowledge about the concepts, a thorough master's-level education requires the development of effective research skills.

Step 1

Individually, identify and research two companies that have faced specific issues related to those you identified in the scenario and connected with the course concepts. For each company selected, discuss the following in a 350-word synopsis: (A) issue identified in the scenario that is also facing the company, (B) how the company responded to the issue, and (C) outcomes of the company's response to the issue. Thus, each team member should have two 350-word synopses, one for each company, which provides the information identified. To avoid duplication of efforts, each team member should identify, to the team, the companies he or she will be researching before doing this part of the assignment.

Step 2

As a team, based upon the information gathered from the individual work done in Step 1, prepare a 1,050-word to 1,400-word analysis that synthesizes the key findings. As a team, using the companies researched: (A) identify the key course concepts and (B) compare and contrast the practices of each company related to those concepts. Appropriately cite all references used.

The team will submit a final composition which consists of a title page, the team's
