This case is about American International Corp, Inc.’s (AIG) decision to revamp its compensation system in early 2010 and to adopt a 'Forced ranking' system that would influence incentive payments. In 2009, the leading insurance corporation in the US faced a severe backlash from taxpayers and the media after it became public that the company had made bonus payments to the tune of US$1 billion. Such a generous payout, coming as it did shortly after a total bailout of US$173.3 billion from the government which rescued AIG from complete bankruptcy, led to this backlash. Though AIG attributed the enormous bonus distribution to the compensation system followed at AIG and the need to attract and retain its human capital, critics were not convinced, and this forced the company to revamp its compensation system. As AIG opted for the 'Forced ranking' system, it once again triggered a debate on the appropriateness of relative performance rating systems. Industry observers also wondered whether the company would be able to handle the pay related challenges and whether it would be able to implement the new incentive system that sought to strike the right balance between rewarding its top performers and keeping the government happy.

The case describes Carrefour's entry and expansion strategies into the South Korean market and the reasons that led to its exit from the country. The company failed to localize its stores and the products sold according to the needs and preferences of Korean consumers. Carrefour chose to venture into the Korean market on its own without a local partner, due to which it failed to understand the market and was unable to select good locations for its stores. The company employed most of the top management personnel from France and this was not viewed favorably by the local employees, and Carrefour too often faced problems from local labor unions. After a decade of unsustainable operations and cut-throat competition, Carrefour finally announced the sale of its South Korean business in April 2006.
