The first day on the job, while you are finishing your employment paperwork, Dan Ervin, who works in Finance, stops by to inform you about the company’s 401(k) plan. A 401(k) plan is a retirement plan offered by many companies.

- Case Study You have applied for a public relations (PR) position with a RM 10.2 million savings and loan association, a conservative financial institution that has been in existence for over 50 years. The organization has never employed a PR person before. Now that its assets have risen above 10 million, however, the president of the institution feels it is time to hire someone to ‘do the PR’.
