1. Consider the nature of the trade-off between richness and reach of information. How is the trade-off defined? Give a real world example to qualify for the maximum possible credit.

This presentation deals with what motivates people and it turns out that it is much more than a stick and a carrot because people are not easy to decipher. Their psyche is complicated and their behavior cannot always be predicted. People are not so easy to be manipulated which is why this presentation is challenging the usual beliefs. The story is about being rewarded and being punished which foster particular behavior while discouraging the other.

Motivations of people are complex and interesting because the science behind this process is surprising. People are not so predictable and manipulable and the most important issues are the reward that fosters desirable behavior and the punishment which discourages a certain behavior. There were studies done at MIT and where the researchers gave certain challenges to students and these included memorizing numbers, word and spatial puzzles as well as physical tasks. “To incentivize their performance they gave them three levels of rewards” (Pink). There was a small, medium and a large cash reward and this works in most organizations ...
