Question

You are a manager for a solar panel company and you have to choose one of your sellers for a promotion to a managerial position. Your company's board is suggesting that the employee with the highest average monthly sales in the upcoming 3 months should be promoted. What of the following is a valid concern in connection to this choice of promotion scheme? This promotion scheme is based on a quality standard which depends on current business/market conditions (i.e. uncontrollable risk), so it may be that if demand for solar panels is low, no current employee will be able to meet the bar for promotion This promotion scheme is based on a quality standard which is too low; too many candidates will meet the bar for promotion, and it will be hard to select only one among them This promotion scheme is based on a relative standard; you are concerned about reciprocal sabotaging efforts by your sellers O Promoting only one seller seems unfair

Answer 1

The correct answer is option 3. Option 1 and 2 are incorrect since there will be a highest average monthly seller irrespective of business conditions and only one will be eligible. Option 4 is incorrect as the criteria is fair. Therefore, option 3 is the right choice.

The correct answer is option 4. since there is more difference in wages of entry level employee and manager leve and there is more compensation for the effort put up.
