Using exactly one hundred (100) words you will provide a brief overview of the project including important scope information.

Validity is the idea for example, that the training system you are implementing actually predicts better performance. So if a system is valid, as an employee's score increases on a training measure, their performance score should be positively correlated with that score. The assignment this week is to watch the video below, and simply list out potential threats to the validity of this performance appraisal system.

Jay Farrar Company is a manufacturing company that specializes in writing instruments. The past year was a difficult one for the company, as it sought to retain its share in a market in which the largest competitors were also rapid innovators.

McDonald's claimed the product was served to the correct specifications and was of proper quality. Further, the cup read "Caution - Contents May Be Hot." McDonald's coffee, at 180 degrees, is substantially hotter (by corporate rule) than typical restaurant coffee, de...
