27The following appeared as part of a memo from the president of Automate, a company that manufactures automobiles.

"It has come to my attention that Sparks, Inc., the manufacturing company that just moved into our state, is advertising job openings at salaries that are twice as high as those paid to our experienced assembly-line workers. Some of our employees have already left to work for Sparks. In order to keep our best staff, we must pay them salaries equal to those Sparks pays its employees. Otherwise we will continue to lose employees in the future, because Sparks must staff the additional new plants that it plans to build in the state."

1.作者没有提及S公司具体的情况，如公司的规模，产品，目标。如果公司规模不大，产品又有区别，那么这两家就不会构成什么竞争，也就没有什么威胁。

2.即便两家公司构成了竞争，有可能S公司提供的高一倍薪水的职位是高层的管理等职位，所以我们也不需要加工资。

3.员工离开公司的原因不一定是因为薪水的问题，也许S能提供更好的工作环境，交通更加等便利。所以即使我们薪水和S一样，我们在未来仍将继续流失员工。
