Japanese Company Charges Its Staff $100 an Hour to Use Conference Rooms
I feel like there could be negative externalities (unintended consequences) from this. For example, meetings should take place, but nobody wants to deal with the cost - so people avoid the meeting altogether - to the detriment of the company . Or, people end up approaching individuals at their desk - and the collaborative nature of meeting in a conference room is avoided - not to mention increased back-channeling and untimely interruptions.
