#behavioral control

Behavioral control focuses on doing things right by balancing culture, rewards, and boundaries to ensure effective strategy implementation (Dess et al., 2024). According to the textbook, culture serves as a system of shared values and norms that influence behavior, rewards motivate employees toward desired performance, and boundaries establish the acceptable limits of conduct. These three elements must work together to align individual actions with organizational goals, especially in competitive and fast-moving industries.

When it comes to turning strategy into real results, Nike shows what it means to balance culture, rewards, and boundaries, the three key levers of behavioral control. The company's culture thrives on innovation and teamwork, with the "Just Do It" slogan encouraging employees to take initiative, embrace creativity, and push limits of performance, all while staying true to the company's values. Nike also uses rewards and incentives to keep its teams motivated and aligned with business goals. From recognizing top performers to promoting growth through leadership and diversity programs, Nike's reward systems reinforce the same drive that fuels its global success. Still, the company doesn't overlook boundaries, it maintains strict ethical standards and sustainability policies that guide decision-making throughout its global supply chain (Nike, n.d.). Altogether, Nike's approach demonstrates that when culture, rewards, and boundaries are aligned, strategy becomes part of the company's identity.

Fauci desperately wants to rollout Vaccine Passports and grant vaccine companies absolute control over your life

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared in a recent interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. As usual, Stephanopoulos asked no serious questions and went along with every controlling suggestion that Fauci made, while prodding viewers to obey the expert and follow his data. Fauci took his usual authoritarian approach, advising Americans to get the covid vaccines as soon as they become available. However,…

Cover-up: Dr. Anthony Fauci helped approve an effective treatment for coronavirus infections 15 years ago, but is suppressing it today in favor of new high-profit vaccines

The expert advice of Dr. Anthony Fauci has been all about controlling human behavior, threatening individual liberty, and manipulating economic activity, while instructing on new ways to encourage human separation. These methods have proven destructive in a multitude of ways and have failed to contain human sickness and disease.The only way to stop a virus from attaching to human cells and…

“A tormenting thought: as of a certain point, history was no longer real. Without noticing it, all mankind suddenly left reality.” -Elias Canetti, Nobel Laureate in literature

As more and more information is released via National Security Administration whistleblower Edward Snowden, many Americans drifting through each day blissfully unaware of what country they really live in have had the curtain pulled back just enough to be fed their first spoonful of reality…it’s a bitter taste.

The clip below is of a public service message warning the public on the growing use of technology and surveillance by government and corporations (though who can really tell the difference these days) to control our lives.

Sure, you say. We know all about that. Snowden has conclusively shown us with leaked documentation what our government is doing to us.

Ah. But the film was not made last week or even last decade; it was filmed in 1974.

Watch and listen. No, really listen. This message isn’t just to warn us about the coming technological surveillance state itself, but how its construct is to be used as a form of behavioral control on a mass scale.

it means something to Fred but  Fred doesn't like church  Fred doesn't like control Fred feels like the church does it wrong controls people

the clergy controls people behavioral control Fred doesn't believe in the clergy Fred doesn't think the clergy know God

sociopaths manipulators

God tells Fred to act in certain ways do certain things

the clergy tells Fred different things act in other ways

If we know Santa Claus is a myth with a purpose (behavioral control of children), why can't we conclude the same for the Mystery God (behavioral control of the masses)?

As Bill Maher once said:

When you were a kid and they were telling you whatever you believe in religion, do you think that if they had switched the fairy tales they read to you before bed with the Bible, you would have known the difference?

Do you think if it was the fairy tale about a man who lived inside of a whale and it was religion that Jack built a beanstalk today, you would know the difference?

Why do you believe in one fairy tale and not the other? Just because adults told you it was true and they scared you into believing it, at pain of death, at pain of burning in hell.
