How effective were microsoft's human resource policies in the 1980's? discuss your analysis?

History
1 answer:
Luden [163]3 years ago
3 0
During the 1980s Microsoft adopted the Bell Curve Employee assessment tool, also known as 'Stack Ranking'

The system forced each department to assess their employees at the end of the year and grade them under 'top-performers', 'average' 'below-average' and 'poor'

The idea was to 'cull' employees that were not contributing and ensure high-performers get bonuses and promotions.

The system worked very well in the 80s and the 90s.

However, Microsoft's decline in the 2000s against apple was sharp and many ex-employees of Microsoft point to the 'stack ranking' system that eventually paved the way for internal politics rather than innovation.

A difference between Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X was that Martin Luther King Jr. believed in
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: Non-violence

Explanation: King grew up in a middle class family and was well educated. Meanwhile, Malcolm X grew up in an underprivileged environment that was very hostile with barely any schooling. Martin Luther King Jr. was always against violence, throughout his entire ministry. He always stood his ground, and he stood out because even though he may have been physically attacked, he never reacted with violence. Martin Luther King Jr. followed the Christian faith. Malcolm X, however, was a Muslim, and believed in Muslim principles (<u><em>I'm not being at all discriminatory on any religions here)</em></u>. He believed in fighting back physically. Whatever had to be done to get freedom he was all for it whether it be violence or non-violence. Although later in life he visited Jerusalem, and met other Muslims. He changed his views, and became non-violent.
