2. Employees often try to negotiate with their employersโ arrangements that take into account their individual needsโsuch as asking for more-flexible work hours, a reduced workload, more pay or special training. These arrangementsโknown as "idiosyncratic deals," or "i-deals"โare sometimes in the interest of both the employee and employer, especially if such deals make employees more motivated and committed to their jobs. But they also can create jealousy, envy, and conflict in the workplace, a recent study found. The research, published in the January 2017 issue of the Journal of Business Ethics, examined how co-workers view i-deals and looked at practical considerations for managers and HR professionals. The study was conducted in Belgium with responses from nearly 2,000 employees. In general, i-deals involving financial compensation were viewed to be the most unfair, followed by flexible hours and reduced workloads, the study found. The researchers said co-workers are more likely to understand when a company grants non-financial benefits because of an employee's personal needs (such as a single parent who has to pick up her children at a certain hour). Justifying financial rewards, however, is more difficult, they noted.
Whatโs the benefit of idiosyncratic deals and whatโs the side effect of idiosyncratic deals? (2pts)
*
3. Please refer to passage 2.
What's your stance about idiosyncratic deals? Are you in favor of this in your own company? (2pts)

4. Not so long ago, the Chinese bike-sharing firm ofo was flush with cash and welcomed as a game-changing tech startup. Today, it's struggling to run successfully. Backed by billions of dollars from high-profile investors like Alibaba, ofo helped pioneer the bike-sharing phenomenon that swept across Chinese cities in recent years. The bikes can be locked and unlocked anywhere via a smartphone app, which means users don't have to return them to designated stations. ofo defeated dozens of copycat rivals, but it now risks becoming the latest casualty of a cut-throat industry. Many angry customers gathered outside its headquarters in Beijing this week to demand refunds. The company and its founder have been put on a government blacklist for failing to pay debts. Bike-sharing startups in China developed quickly through cash as they rushed to launch services in cities throughout the country and overseas. The chaotic expansion resulted in many bankruptcies and useless bikes. ofo survived, but has struggled to keep up with its rivals since. Bike-sharing was a great standalone service when it launched in 2015, but it now makes more sense for companies like ofo to team up with other transportation platforms, analysts say.
Whatโs the result of the chaotic expansion of the bike-sharing industry? Whatโs the convenience brought by ofo? (2pts)
