Question
After two quarters of increasing levels of production, the CEO of a particular agribusiness industry was
upset to learn that, during this time of expansion, productivity of the newly hired workers declined
with each new worker hired. Believing that the new workers were either lazy or ineffectively
supervised (or possibly both), the CEO instructed the production manager to “crack down” on the
new workers to bring their productivity levels up.
