Question:

1. Assume that Freddie Bisco receives a sales incentive for each Ferrari he sells. Does Freddie appear highly motivated by this incentive reward system? What is the evidence from the scene?
2. Freddie does not work for Frank Slade. Is the $2,000 that Slade gives Freddie the same as a bonus discussed earlier in this chapter? If yes, which type of bonus is it?

The scene from Scent of a Woman shows many aspects of incentive rewards and employee performance discussed in this chapter.Watch for types of incentives and the positive and negative effects of incentives as you view the scene. Young Charlie Simms (Chris O’Donnell) wants to earn extra money over Thanksgiving weekend for airfare to go home during his Christmas break. He becomes a guide and caretaker for ill-tempered, retired, blind Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Al Pacino). Charlie, from Gresham, Oregon, is quiet and reserved and has had little experience with the opposite sex. He attends the exclusive Baird Preparatory School on a scholarship. His wild New York City weekend with Frank Slade bonds them forever. This film is a remake of Profumo di Donna, a 1974 Italian film.
