2)Create a four corners analysis of this case: return to BABA, or take the job
at CloudSkim. You must provide 7 arguments in each quadrant. The
arguments can be in bullet form.Your answers would look something like this:
3)You are Sameer. Would you return to BABA or take the CloudSkim offer?
Why?
Question 1: There is one truth that BABA have to admit. The truth is that a
company cannot prevent its employees from leaving by only setting up legal
obligations that force employees to work for the company (like the contract
BABA signed with Sameer). If an employee chooses to leave, and he/she has
already proved his value through past achievements or the certificates
acquired through various trainings, there are always companies who are
willing to pay the monetary penalties for the leaving employees.
As a developing company, BABA cannot offer the same level of wage and
bonus as CloudSkim could offer. But at the same time, like Sameer mentioned
in the email he sent to Ioana that The landscape is getting more competitive
and complex. Surely the company could benefit from a more contemporary
perspective, as a traditional manufacturing company, BABA needs young
talents with guiding visions to keep being competitive in the rapid changing
market today. Hence, BABA has to think deeply into what the company can
do to keep its employees involved, besides using monetary reward and
punishment. Money, a nice office and job security can help people from
becoming less motivated, but they usually don't help employees to become
more motivated. A key goal is to understand the motivations of each of your
employees.
Our group has came up with three recommendations that have the potential to
help BABA to maintain its employees job satisfaction, as well as to get talents
more involved.

Question 2:
Question 3:
Leaving a job is never easy. As you can see there are numerous reasons
to stay and numerous reasons to leave. If we were Sameer, we would take the
job at Cloudskim. We would be extremely thankful to Baba for everything they did
for us but when it comes down to it, Cloudskim is offering more for the same
amount of work. Cloudskims offer would double Sameers salary and has the
added benefit of paying for his education. The most important point that was
stated above in terms of company is that Cloudskim has immense Venture
Capital backing. This means the company's long term survival is very likely. THe
new company is providing for Sameers family by offering him double the amount
of money he was current earning at BABA. There is always a time for an
employee to move on and being thankful to the previous company for giving
Sameer his start is pivotal. Especially since Sameers work got him recognized in
Silicon Valley by a headhunter. Making the move to Cloudskim is clearly the next
step for Sameer to further his career. Even if he doesnt take it, he should take
pride in the fact that his work at Baba allowed him to be recognized and
ultimately approached. Sameer needs to think about what is best for him. Baba
will not fail without him and will be able to find somebody to take his place.
Whether they will be successful without him is a key question, but it is not
Sameers responsibility to worry about if the company struggles without him.
Employee turnover is a key part of every business and companies have to plan
for it. Sameers decision should take into account the timingof the work he is
doing and a plan to transition out seamlessly, not leave work unfinished.
Ultimately, needs to think about himself and what is better for him in the long run.
That is why it is best for him to take the job with Cloudskim. The promise he
made was formed so that the company would not be hurt by him leaving.
Cloudskim is offering to pay off the loans that were initially agreed upon by the
current company that Sameer is working for. We believe if that he has a sit down
with Anil about the scenario that it will work out so that others will be able to reap
the benefits.
