Here's what I have on Tesla and Kmart, not too much detail but I think it'll be enough. Hope it helps
Tesla:
Maslow
   - Meets the higher levels of the hierarchy due to employment of highly-skilled staff
   - Belongingness provided through social events
   - Esteem through promotions, performance-related pay
   - Self-actualization through innovation and career advancement
4 Drive
   - To defend: employees allowed to defend their jobs after performance appraisals led to 400 terminations. This isn't a good thing because employees should not feel the need to defend their position, fixed through more supportive management.
   
Goal Setting
   - Can be applied to all employees
   - Tesla's innovation and creativity - occurring through goal-setting
Use of this theory can lead to more environmentally friendly / sustainable products

Kmart:
Maslow
   - Most of the Java employees would be at the lower end of the hierarchy- only receiving pay
   - Social events could be encouraged to build a sense of belongingness within the Java workers
4 Drive
   - Drive to bond - Java employees could be motivated through social sessions
   - Drive to acquire - Employees might want more than just base pay, especially if they prove commitment to Kmart
   - Drive to learn - Offering of career advancement in factories to motivate staff & increase productivity
   
Goal Setting
   - Can link goals to productivity
   - Requires feedback from management which may be hard to do over 11 large-scale factories in Java

I spoke to my teacher about this exact q and he said that we don't need to know it as its not specified in the key skills (unlike operations, change etc etc which it is)
