Richard Thaler has famously said, 'nudge for good'. However, there are many instances in a financial or consumer context where people are taken advantage of or are not well informed. This assessment task asks students to utilise their research skills to identify and explore how and what behavioural tactics are employed to persuade people into making sub-optimal or ill-informed choices. Students are also asked to identify potential 'nudge for good' solutions.
