Findings: The case study can serve both as a discussion basis in class as well as an exam for students in management, operations, and accounting. Practical Implications: Students will need to reflect on how a mechanical application of incentive systems can lead to dysfunctional decisions that run counter to a company's business model. Originality/Value: The open questions at the end of the article serve the purpose of raising students' awareness of the limits of cash-based incentive systems.",
