Comparing World Wide Tech versus Marriott hotels
Each student chooses two companies from the latest edition of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" with one of them being a technology-based company and the other a service company. After completing in-depth analyses of the two companies, each student prepares a 10-to-15 page essay (a guide only) and shares it with the class. The paper covers a profile of the companies, including key human resource data such as turnover rate, company values and demographic profiles of the workforce. In addition, it includes identification and discussion of innovative human resource and organizational behavior practices used by these companies. The analysis must go beyond the fringe benefits provided. Make sure you then compare and contrast the two companies in terms of why they made the list. Also, discuss, in depth, the key similarities and differences in approaches between the tech-based company and non-tech company and draw conclusions.
