Read the RL Wolfe case and answer the following questions:

Identify RL Wolfe's business strategy in terms of the $4$ business strategies $($cost leadership, differentiation, focused cost leadership, focused differentiation$)?$ Which one of these business strategy choices best matches RL Wolfe's? Read this chapter on Business Level Strategies to get a better grasp about these $4$ types of business strategy.

How do RL Wolfe's HR practices at Corpus Christi $($e$.$g$.,$ use of SDTs$)$ align the business strategy you identified? Provide $1$ or $2$ examples of how their HR practices work in alignment with their strategy. Do you see any parallels to Southwest's business strategy from last week's case and HR practices at RL Wolfe's Corpus Christie plant?

Compare productivity, morale, and absenteeism across the RL Wolfe plants $($ see also Exhibit $5).$ Are job design choices across these plants $($see also Exhibits $1$ and $2)$ likely to explain differences in productivity based on the concepts and principles in Ch$4?$
