The Internal Hire (Scenario)
Wade McKenzie is a new sales manager for The Medi-Mac Group, a medical supply company based in Ontario.

-After the New Year, Wade schedules a day to travel with each of his sales reps. He presents them with their bonus cheques from the preceding year.

This report provides a comparison of regional performance, based upon percentage of quota met, for each quarter and the entire year. Additionally, individual salespeople are compared on a bar graph with their peers within the region and corporate-wide, for each quarter and the year. Finally, each employee is ranked on a percentile scale, indicating their relative performance for the year. Wade must provide management with a report offering reasons for poor performance and suggesting corrective actions. This is most representative of which performance appraisal technique?
