Selling at a loss? That sounds risky and unlikely.

They might take risks that harm UIO, especially with those targets.

I'm a bit unsure about E. While managers might not feel loyal if they're under pressure, I wonder if that really applies to all of them.

C makes sense to me because if managers want to exceed targets, they would need to create attractive promotions. I feel confident about that one.

I think we practiced a similar question where we talked about risk-taking in performance management. B seems likely because of the pressure to meet targets.

I remember discussing how incentives can sometimes lead to a focus on short-term sales rather than customer service. So, I'm not sure if A is true.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. On the one hand, the managers have an incentive to offer good customer service to hit their targets (option A). But the way the targets are structured could also lead them to take risky actions that harm the company (option B). I'll have to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

This is a classic case of misaligned incentives. The shop managers are clearly motivated to hit their targets, even if that means engaging in some shady practices. I'd say options C and E are definitely true based on the information provided.

I'm a bit confused by the part about the managers having "considerable discretion over pricing and incentives." Does that mean they could potentially offer deals that aren't in the company's best interest? I'll have to think carefully about which options are true.

Okay, let's see here. The key seems to be that the shop managers are evaluated based on monthly contribution from sales, and they can get promoted or fired based on hitting or missing their targets. I think the answer is pretty clear - the managers have an incentive to hit those targets, even if it means offering questionable sales promotions.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the incentive structure for the shop managers correctly before selecting my answers.

A and C are spot on. The shop managers are basically running their own little fiefdoms, so they'll do whatever it takes to keep those targets met. Sounds like a recipe for some shady sales tactics, if you ask me.

D is definitely false. Selling phones at a loss would be terrible for the company's profitability. I'm not sure about B and E, but they seem plausible given the pressure to hit targets.
