Q.5
CASE STUDY:
It was performance appraisal time again. Mr. Alok Mishra knew that
he would receive a low evaluation. Mr. Mohit Jain, Mr. Mishra?s
Boss, opened the appraisal interview with this comment, ?the sales
department had a good increase in this quarter. Also, departmental
expenses are down considerably. But we are nowhere near
accomplishing the ambitious objectives you and I set last quarter.? ?I
know,? said Jain. ?I thought we were going to make it, though. We
would have, too, if we had received that big Shimla order, and if I
could have received it on the computer a little earlier in the quarter.?
?I agree with you, Mr. Jain,? said Mr. Mishra. ?Do you think we
were just too ambitious or do you think there was some way we
could have made the Shimla sale and speeded up the computerization
process?? ?Yes,? replied Jain, ?We could have received the Shimla
order this quarter. I Just made couple of concessions to that place and
their purchasing manager tells me that he can issue the order next
week. The delay with the computer was caused by a thoughtless
mistake I made. I won?t let that happen again.? The discussion
continued for about 30 minutes longer. Mr. Mishra discovered that
Mr. Jain was going to mark him very high in all areas despite his
failure to accomplish the goals they had set.
Prior to meeting, Mr.Mishra had planned to suggest that the
unattained goals for last period be set as the new objectives for the
coming quarter. After he and Mr.Mishra had discussed the matter,
however, they both decided to establish new, somewhat higher
objectives, but I don?t believe we have more than a 50 percent chance
of accomplishing them.? ?I believe you can do it,? replied Jain. ?If
you knew for sure, though, they wouldn?t be high enough.? ?I see
what you mean,? said Mr. Jain, as he left the office.
(a) What was wrong or right with Jain?s appraisal of Mr. Mishra?s
performance?
07
(b) Should the new objectives be higher or lower than they are? Explain.
07
OR
Q.5 (a) What will be your opinion regarding setting standard of performance
appraisal?
07
(b)
Suggest possible alternate way by which Mr. Jain could have handle
this situation with Mr. Mishra.
