    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

    Employee Reactions to Lottery-Based Incentives at United Airlines

    Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 25 Employee reactions to lottery-based incentives at United Airlines Kelly Mollica University of Memphis ABSTRACT This case describes an event in 2018 when United Airlines announced to employees that its quarterly performance-based bonus system was being replaced with a lottery incentive program. Under the previous bonus system, employees were guaranteed a monetary bonus each quarter that specific performance goals were met by the company. For the new incentive program, employees’ names would be entered into a random lottery-style drawing, resulting in only a small percentage of employees receiving prizes ranging from cash to new cars to vacation packages. Due to overwhelmingly negative reaction from employees, United retracted the lottery program just three days after it was announced. The case asks students to consider why the lottery program was poorly received by employees. The case is designed for human resource management and general management courses as part of discussions on employee incentives, motivation, and performance management.

Within hours, Kirby’s announcement resulted in widespread anger from United employees, many of whom posted scathing criticisms of the program on social media.
