The question asks for the least effective way to motivate Beijing managers, so we need to choose the option that is not as effective as the others. A, C, and D all seem like effective ways to motivate managers, but B (compensating managers better than other firms do) may not be as effective in the long run because money alone may not be enough to keep managers motivated and engaged. Therefore, option B is the least effective way for Starbucks to motivate its Beijing managers.
