Project profitability provided focus on the project as the basic unit for planning and control, and sales backlog helped reduce uncertainty of performance. Rockwater wanted to recognize the distinction between its two types of customers: Tier I customers, oil companies that wanted a high value-added relationship, and Tier II customers, those that chose suppliers solely on the basis of price. A price index, incorporating the best available intelligence on competitive position, was included to ensure that Rockwater could still retain Tier II customers’ business when required by competitive conditions. The company’s strategy, however, was to emphasize value-based business. An independent organization conducted an annual survey to rank customers’ perceptions of Rockwater’s services compared to those of its competitors. In addition, Tier I customers were asked to supply monthly satisfaction and performance ratings. Rockwater…arrow_forwardQUESTION Rockwater management added two financial measures.

Employees exchange their contributions for a set of outcomes, of which compensation is one of the most significant one. On one hand money is considered to be one of the key mechanisms that can be used to attract, retain and motivate competent employees to perform in ways that support organizational objectives. More often than not, a person’s earnings also serve as an indicator of power and prestige and are tied to feelings of self-worth. In other words, compensation affects a person economically, sociologically, and physiologically. On the other hand a telling fact is that money never satisfies and even large sums of it may fail to confer wellbeing. The failure is less due to a glitch in the program than due to the inadequacy of psychological assumptions that ground all such plans. As people move up the economic ladder, most almost immediately stop feeling grateful for their elevated circumstances and focus…arrow_forwardquestion 7 You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha.
