    Desperately seeking a short(ish) case that fleshes out theories of Motivation for an MBA audience. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Best,

    Hi Kyle,

    Not quite a case study, but this YouTube from Daniel Pink is always well received by my students and useful to prompt discussion

    Farh & Bedeian have one for goal-setting theory, although I'm not convinced it works as well as they claim it does.

    I used a basketball challenge (throw a football into a bin) to illustrate expectancy theory and goal-setting, using someone who was clearly a basketball player and someone - a volunteer - who clearly wasn't. I added genuine monetary incentives, going all the wasy up to $300 for a long shot. It went very well.

    Call if you want more details.

    Graham

    Kyle:

     

    The HBS case entitled "The Lumen and Absorb Teams at Crutchfield Chemical Engineering" is great!  I also love the Dan Pink video from You Tube that someone else mentioned.
