Building Strategic Compensation Systems is an experiential case simulation available to users of Strategic Compensation, 4th Edition.  Students work in small compensation consulting teams charged with the responsibility for developing a compensation plan for a company named e-sonic.  The project is divided into 4 sections, which correspond to fundamental goals of compensation practitioners as described in chapters in this textbook.  This manual helps guide students through the case simulation software, available for download on the author’s companion website (http://www.prenhall.com/martocchio).
