Goal Alignment between Airlines and Flight Crews Planes frequently push back from the gate on time, but then wait 2 feet away from the gate until it is time to queue up for take-off. This increases fuel consumption, and increases the time that passengers must sit in a cramped plane awaiting take-off. Why does this happen?
Becky and Sarah are sisters 1who share a room. Their room can easily get messy, and their parents am always telling them to tidy it. Here are the costs and benefits to both Becky and Sarah, of taking the time to clean their room: If both Becky and Sarah clean, they each spends two hours and get a clean room. If Becky decides not to clean and Sarah does all the cleaning, then Sarah spends 10 hours cleaning (Becky spends 0) but Sarah is exhausted. The same would occur for Becky if Sarah decided not to cleanâ€”Becky spends 10 hours and becomes exhausted. If both girls decide not to clean, they both have a dirty room. What is the best outcome for Becky and Sarah? What is the worst outcome? (It would help you to construct a prisoners dilemma table.) Unfortunately, we know that the optimal outcome will most liker not happen, and that the sisters probably will choose the worst one instead. Explain what it is about Beckys and Sarahs reasoning that will lead them both to choose the worst outcome.
