ells its products mostly through business-to-business interactions.

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!

A car manufacturer is considering locating an assembly plant in your region.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Perception of the society towards this.

Explanation:

When citing an industry or production site in a locality most often capital is required to get this done but in many scenario capital doesn't seems to be the problem, as the location where these industry is aimed to be planted may likely have an issue with the residents of that environment as regards planting the industry. Some times these opposition is done for obvious reasons as regards health consideration which comes with noise and air pollution but some other times there may be unjustifiable reasons for these not to be planted, probably due greed or the community seeks a share in the resources or return in investment when the firm is planted in their resident. This is a complex problem.

A simple problem would be closeness to the market. If the product in question is desired by the residents in that area, even though the manufacturer might want to be exporting but it'll be a big plus if the residents consider his products more than the external environment.

Nimby can defined as when an individual or a group opposes a decision for the citing of infrastructure and industies in their environment, claiming them to be hazardous to the residents of the environment.

This comes into play for the complex decision because if those residing in the environment don't give a "go ahead" for planting of the industry it won't be successful.
