The Greek historian Herodotus wrote a story about cinnamon, which he had learned of from the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians had claimed that cinnamon sticks were brought to Arabia by large birds that carried them to their nests on mountain cliffs. In order to get the cinnamon, Arabians cut up the bodies of large animals and placed them on the ground near the nests. When the birds picked up the food and returned to their nest, the weight of the meat broke the nest and the cinnamon fell down the mountain, where the Arabians ran to pick it up. This story is perhaps unlikely. For those who traded this spice to people from far-off lands, however, such an exaggerated tale of hardship may have increased a product's value to the consumer.

In order to bring the ever-increasing costs of home care for elderly and needy persons under control, managers of home care providers have introduced management systems. These systems specify tasks of home care workers and the time and budget available to perform these tasks. Electronic reporting systems require home care workers to report on their activities and the time spent, thus making the distribution of time and money visible and, in the perception of managers, controllable. This, in the view of managers, has contributed to the resolution of the problem. This includes having conversations with clients and enquiring about the person's well-being. Restricted time and the requirement to report may be perceived as obstacles that make it impossible to deliver the service that is needed. If the management systems are too rigid, this may result in home care workers becoming overloaded and demotivated.
