2. Do you believe that the compensation changes at Best Buy are a major reason for its current difficulties?
3. Why are Walmart, Sams Club, and Costco doing better than Best Buy (and Circuit City)? Do they have high pay? 4. Are there larger problems in the competitive landscape for Best Buy that cannot be solved by compensation strategy changes alone? When customers look to buy electronics, what options do they have other than Best Buy and why would they choose these options over Best Buy? Where do customers test drive the product and where do they buy it? Can compensation changes address these challenges? Explain.
5. Is Best Buy focusing too much or too little on cost reduction? Explain.
