Discussion Question
Q1. What motivates you? Who in your organization is a good motivator? What makes him or her a good motivator? Does motivation have to come from a person, or can an organization in itself be a motivating factor? Explain with reasoning.
Q2. Consider the life-changing decision of buying a first home.
Search on an internet site for a home available for sale in your area. Given current mortgage interest rates, property tax estimates, the cost of upkeep, insurance, utilities, and other costs (at a minimum), do you believe buying this home is a wise financial decision?
Now compare the cost of rent for an apartment of similar size in the same area. How does this compare with the cost of maintaining a home for one year?
Create a short but detailed analysis of your findings that compares the total cost of the purchase of a home with the total cost to rent an apartment. Which decision is optimal? Are there any qualitative points to consider in addition to your calculation?
