Employee Empowerment Culture and Penetration Pricing

What would be a good example that could be used to show from any recent or current event in the news, in order to discuss and explain the use of these two specific theories?

1. In the human resource area, moving toward an employee empowerment culture

2. In the marketing area, the theory of penetration pricing

For each of these two I need information to explain the following the issue being addressed that gave rise to employing these theories:

1. How the theory being followed leads to specific actions on the part of the company

2. Results achieved

3. If you had been the senior manager in these situations, at those companies, how might you have addressed the situation any differently? What other theory could have been the basis for the decision.
