Marriott creates Facebook game for international recruitment | Springwise

At My Marriott Hotel on Facebook, gamers begin by managing a virtual hotel restaurant kitchen, including buying equipment and ingredients on a budget, hiring and training employees, and serving guests. Much like in the wildly popular Farmville game, players earn points for happy customers but lose points for poor service; they’re also rewarded when their operation turns a profit. The game can be played in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Mandarin, and after playing in the restaurant portion of the game, users can then move on to other areas of hotel operations. The video below demonstrates the game in action:

The Organisation Structure as Free Market | Management Innovation eXchange

Summary

Good manager deliver good results while motivating and growing their employees. Bad managers might still deliver good results, but not focus on doing the best for their employees, slowly de-motivating their staff and thus losing performance and ownership. Often, managers are made based on their achievements in other areas than managing people rather than their potential as a leader, with negative implications for the organization and all parties involved.

If employees could choose their own boss, their performance would increase and the organization would be optimized, since those who are most capable at leading people become managers.

We propose a new management system, which introduces a market mechanism to the human resource management. Each employee chooses his/her manager. Each manager gets evaluated based on the result their team delivers and is rewarded with responsibilities, budget, and budget to salaries.
