Prestige Pegasus is a multinational firm that specializes in the manufacturing of hardware for high-end technical products and s

ells its products mostly through business-to-business interactions. Following a good year with soaring profit-margins, Prestige Pegasus is planning to conduct an internal assessment throughout the organization. In a meeting following the decision to conduct the internal assessment, Douglas McCarthy (the Chief Operations Officer) and Tom Castleback (the Chief Marketing Officer) are the prime contributors on the methods that the organization should use to perform these assessments.Douglas: "We should encourage 360-degree feedback, mostly concentrating on subordinates, as they would be the right people to judge their superiors."Tom: "We should definitely use 360-degree feedback, mostly from external customers, as they are the ones who matter in the end."Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen Tom's argument?
a.The salespeople of the company travel extensively and are expected to work independently without supervision.
b.The salespeople of the company do not have any flexibility in the selling price of the product.

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!

White raven [17]

Answer:

A buyer's willingness to pay for a good plus the price of the good means the buyer is indifferent between buying the good and not buying it.

Surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

A certain bookstore chain has two stores, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. It stocks three kinds of books: hardcover
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

                           Hard       Soft        Plastic

San Francisco 3,600           7,800       12,000  

Los Angeles  2,400            1,800        3,000

Explanation:

The sales during January were as follows:

                          Hard      Soft          Plastic

San Francisco 600              1,300           2,000  

Los Angeles  400                300              500

If the sales during the next five months were actually the same, then to determine total sales all we have to do is multiply January's sales by 6.

600 x 6 = 3,600         1,300 x 6 = 7,800         2,000 x 6 = 12,000

400 x 6 = 2,400           300 x 6 = 1,800            500 x 6 = 3,000
