Abstract
Discusses the 1989 modified performance appraisal program by adding performance gradations and allowing for differences in employee rating distributions depending on the division performance for the year. The objective is to have students discuss the revisions in the plan, focusing on the effects of forced-distribution ranking systems with flexible targets.
