Another First for ICM
The Inoperable Computer Machines (ICM), which recently (MODERN DATA, April
1983) made headlines with its introduction of a truly third generation
computer, has again illustrated its pioneering spirit by developing a
radically new employee performance appraisal procedure. By reducing the
appraisal process to a simple chart scheme, shown below, the ICM has enabled
the manager to recognize quickly the strengths and weaknesses of his
employees.
