Please carefully read Case 16, "SAS - Business Success Starts on the Inside." on page 458-459 of your textbook.

1. How would you describe the kind of organization culture that SAS has developed for all its employees, even consider the customers?

3. Do you think lack of higher pay could eventually be a problem for SAS in the future, or do you think the wide range of benefits offered its employees makes up for the lack of the high range of salary? Please remember that all these other benefits, including a very significant interaction with SAS customers, do have monetary value as well.
