Olympia Machine Company Inc Case Study
Order Instructions:
I identified that the main issue that Olympia Machine Company, Inc. faces is that, since they are in a mature and slow growing market, they have to figure out the best method to encourage more sales effort from their salespeople, reduce expenses and avoid their turnover, specially to their competitors. Leaders at Olympia believe that they are able to boost sales and retain their salesforce by modifying the method that their salespeople get compensated, which is currently of straight salary plus expenses. It is not an easy task since there are different alternatives to be considered and all of them has various implications for the business operations. The company would have to align the right strategy with its implementation, cross-functional incentive systems along with managing sales.
