and knowledge of the points made by the author in relationship to Performance
Appraisals.
Do you agree or disagree with the points made by the
author? Explain your reasoning with your
theory on why companies should or should not have Performance Appraisals.
To support your theory additional research is needed. Find
an academic article (from a valid business source such as Forbes, Fortune,
Bloomberg News, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, etc.) that backs up your
theory on whether companies should or should not have performance
appraisals. Once you locate the article
summarize the key points the author makes and explain why it coincides with
