INSTRUCTIONS

Assignment. Now that you have read the article entitled “Why Incentive Plans Cannot Work,” you need to engage in a conversation with your classmates. Make an initial posting in the discussion area providing your thoughts on the the article. Use the following questions to guide your initial posting in the discussion:

1. The author focused a fair amount on the assertion that money is not a good motivator. What are your thoughts on that topic?
2. Do you have any strong feelings (agreeing or disagreeing) on any of the six points he raises about incentive programs?
3. What experiences do you have, or what situations do you know of, that would lead you to believe or disbelieve some of the author’s ideas?

Draw upon the material from the text and the article in your initial posting and in your comments to your classmates.

Length Requirement. The length of your original posting should be equivalent to at least 1 double-spaced page of writing with 1” margins and Times Roman 12 point font.
