The prisoner’s dilemma is a game originally developed by
Flood and Dresher in the 1950’s and later formalised by
Albert Tucker in 1992.
The game is largely used to demonstrate cooperative
behaviour but has often been extrapolated to showcase
other aspects of relationships.

14. Power remains in the hands of only few people
These individuals further delegate
responsibilities to the other employees.
The employees do not have the liberty to express
their views or share their ideas on an open forum
and have to follow what their superior says.

critical problems

16. Individuals are more concerned about their own
self rather than the organization.
They are seldom loyal towards the management
and never decide in favour of the organization.
One should always remember that organization
comes first and everything else later.

according to his specialization, educational qualification
and interest to extract the best out of him.
Every individual is accountable for something or the
other and has to take ownership of the work assigned to
him.
They have well defined roles and autonomy at work.
