Cuyamaca College Reinforce the Employees Behavior Questions
Can you help me understand this Business question?
Before attempting to answer the homework questions, you will need to read the two stories that are attached (very short). After reading those two stories, proceed to the homework questions.
1. How would you describe Ben Franklyn’s approach to reinforcing his employees’ behavior? In your answer, clearly explain why it was that method and not any of the other three methods discussed in the book.
2. How would you describe Kerry’s approach to reinforcing his employees’ behavior? In your answer, clearly explain why it was that method and not any of the other three methods discussed in the book.
3. Why didn’t Kerry’s approach have the intended consequences? What was his error? If he asked you for advice before this story occurred, what would you have told him?
4. In terms of reinforcement, what could Kerry have done differently in order to achieve his goal more effectively? Be specific.
5. How does Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media platforms use the principles discussed in this chapter to get their users addicted to their products?
