Write an expository essay.Present strong thesis statement. Express your point of view on the particular problem.
Management perceives that part of the solution for the Qantas division of the international business is
offshore maintenance of aircraft, employment of overseas flight crew, and pilots on much lower
salaries. All of this is part of the perceived need to pair down costs, just as the Group was able to
when it established JetStar as the low cost brand in the Qantas Group.
This assignment is focused on the international side of the Qantas Group business, specifically the
Qantas and Jetstar international passenger operations. Their domestic Australian operations are not
the principal focus of this assignment. Commentary on them should either be very limited, or
excluded.
Consider the basic tools for conducting a marketing audit, like the SWOT and the PEST. How
might Qantas use specific business tools to assist it to undertake formal marketing auditing and
planning? Provide four examples. Note: do not describe the business tools at length, rather explain
how they might be used.

You are a compensation consultant who has been hired by Susan Superfit, CEO of “The Fit Stop”, to formulate a compensation strategy for her new company.
After reading the information provided in “The Fit Stop” case on pages 510 and 511 of the text, use the following steps and questions to develop the compensation strategy:
1. First determine what managerial strategy and behaviours would be most effective for this firm. What managerial style would Susan Superfit prefer and is it the one that you have recommended?
2. Use the five-step compensation strategy formulation process in Chapter 6 (Figure 6.1, p. 208), formulate such a strategy, and summarize it using a strategic template similar to that shown in Figure 5.2, p. 244. Give your rationale for each element of the strategy.
3. Determine if a performance pay plan would seem to work best for “The Fit Stop”. If so which performance pay plan would work best for the firm and give you reasoning.
4. Identify the benefits system (including specific benefits) that would make the most sense for this firm.
Your case analysis should have a general structure that includes an executive summary, sections on managerial strategy, desired behaviours, base, performance and indirect compensation, some general weighing of alternatives, the conclusions you reached and the resulting recommended compensation strategy.
