Questions

Given the background information about Howe $2$ Ski Stores, discuss the feasibility of

implementing lump sum bonuses, pay for knowledge, profit sharing, and gainsharing

plans. What plan or plans would you recommend that Howe look at most closely and

why?

Assuming that Howe decides that a gainsharing plan is feasible, what could be done to

increase the likelihood of success?

What negative effects are likely to result from even the successful implementation of a

gainsharing plan?
