Ben owns a small gardening business, which he started 15 years ago. Ben believes providing a quality service
is important to his success. Ben’s business has a number of stakeholder groups including 2 full-time and 4 part-time workers who have all been employed by him for a number of years. Each worker is expected to do any job that Ben orders them to do. All workers are paid an hourly wage rate. They also receive a bonus if customers recommend the business to other people. Ben is always thinking about other ways to improve the motivation of his workers.
