A Dual Reaction Paper on Hillside Hotels and Persuasion Techniques
My paper is about two articles that are “See, Feel, Think and Do, Putting It Together” and “Harnessing the Science of Persuasion”.

The two articles do fit each other, not perfectly but generally. I can say that the first article illustrates the course of actions that management takes in a certain change issue and the second article highlights the techniques on solving such an issue and to convince people.

The second article states some generally accepted principles on persuasion.   And the first article is about a company in Turkey. The workers and the managers are Turkish.

In such a situation an authority driving, prompting and inducing the ideas would not be very helpful to create the change and make the people follow them (pertaining to the Principle of Authority in the second article).
