a.The salespeople of the company travel extensively and are expected to work independently without supervision.

Answer:

The correct Choice here is A)

Explanation:

360-degree feedback is a performance evaluation/management technique that provides each worker the opportunity to receive feedback about their performance from senior colleagues and four to eight peers, reporting staff members, co-workers, and customers.    

If it is true that the salespeople of the company travel extensively and are expected to <em><u>work independently</u></em> <em><u>without supervision</u></em>, then <u>it is important to see from the customers eyes what happens when the Sales People go out.</u>

This information will provide information with respect to what the Sales people are doing right and what they aren't getting done.

Armed with these information, Prestige Pergasus can in the next financial year work it's way into even more profits IF following from the feedback they:

  1. reinforce, expand on and reward what is working;
  2. quickly eliminate any loop holes discovered from the feedback by communicating insights to all staff and readjusting performance metrics / system to reward or punish deviation new policies which may have been thought through and stablished in 1 above.

Cheers!
