Our reason for approaching you is that we are seeking partnerships with like-minded institutions that also have a goal of seeing more young people hold positions in the technology field. In trying to identify those institutions that share our goal it was hard to go past BFIT, which has been an integral part of educating young people in the Boston community since 1908.
Our company is seeking to supply technology hardware to improve the STEM education provided at BFIT, which I would like to discuss further. We think this arrangement would provide your institution with a real profile boost in resources; in addition, this would benefit the community through strengthening and advancing the students’ accessibility to extensive tools or

TzeMay was one of the first women engineering students at ABC University. She graduated in 1995 with a first class honours degree and immediately continued her studies with an MSc programme, gaining recognition for her work into environmentally friendly car engines, a largely untapped field in those days. On completion of her Masters degree she was offered a post as a research assistant where she could have developed her Masters research and worked towards her doctorate. However she decided that she needed to gain some commercial experience and joined Wallace-Price, a blue-chip engineering consultancy where, apart from a sponsored year out to study for an MBA in the United States of America, she has remained ever since.
Her tenacity and loyalty to Wallace-Price have paid off and she was made a partner in the firm, primarily responsible for bringing in work to the consultancy. With the promotion came various executive privileges including an annual salary of £80, 000, a chauffeur-driven car, free use of one of the company-owned London flats, a non-contributory pension scheme, various gold credit cards and first-class air travel. TzeMay herself would not describe these as benefits, however, but as necessities to enable her to do her job properly. In order to meet her business target of £2 million of work for Wallace-Price she spent forty weeks overseas, working an average of ninety hours a week.
She cannot remember the last time that she had a weekend when she was not entertaining clients or travelling but was totally free to indulge herself. During her time with Wallace-Price she has earned a reputation both as a formidable but honest negotiator and as an innovative engineer, often finding seemingly impossible solutions to problems. Known for her single-minded dedication to her job, she does not suffer fools gladly. She is frequently approached to work for rival firms with promises of even greater privileges and has been the subject of numerous magazine profiles, some concentrating on her work and reputation as a high flier but the majority focusing on her gender. Her fortieth birthday last year was spent alone in the Emergency Room of a Los Angeles hospital where she had been rushed with a suspected stomach ulcer. Deprived of her portable telephone, fax and computer she had little else to do but to reflect on her life thus far. On her return to health she was working her way through the pile of technical journals, which had accumulated during her absence and there she saw the advertisement for ABC University, an institution that had close links with her company and whose Professor of Engineering she knew well. Ignoring the instructions relating to applications she put through a telephone call to the ABC University.
Question 1 : Making reference to the appropriate theories of motivation, explain TzeMay‟s main motivating factors.
