Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simple ranking requires managers to rank employees within their departments from highest performer to poorest performer (or best to worst). Alternation ranking, on the other hand, consists of a manager looking at a list of employees, deciding who the best employee is, and crossing that person's name off the list. From the remaining names, the manager decides who the worst employee is and crosses that name off the list-and so forth.
