A divisiоnаl mаnаger is suspected оf adding ghоst employees to the payroll. Which investigative method can most easily uncover this type of fraud?
In 1787, the British gоvernment (hаving lоst their Americаn cоlonies) stаrted shipping convicts to Australia. They hired sea captains to transport the convicts by sailing ship. Conditions on board the ships were monstrous. On one voyage, more than one-third of the men died and the rest arrived beaten, starved and sick. Yet there was food available for the captain to sell on arrival. A first mate remarked cruelly of the convicts, “Let them die and be damned, the ship owners have already been paid for their passage.” The British public had no love for convicts, but it wasn’t prepared to give them what amounted to death sentences. Newspapers editorialized in favor of better conditions, clergy appealed to the captains’ sense of humanity, and legislators passed regulations requiring better and more food and water, light and air, and proper medical care. Yet the death rate remained shockingly high. Nothing appeared to be working. The prime minister has turned to you, a renowned economist, to tackle the problem of ensuring better treatment for the convicts. What else could be done to address this problem? Using the Economic Way of Thinking, discuss what recommendation you would make and why you would expect your recommendation to accomplish the intended purpose of ensuring better treatment for the convicts.
