Importance of understanding the perceptual process. Examples:
The same team member maybe viewed by one colleague as a very hard worker and by another as a slacker. The same product maybe viewed by the design team to be of high quality and by a customer to be of low quality. Role of perception during interviews and employee performance evaluation. ‘Poor output record in the operations department in a mfg. plant’ perceived differently by engineers, HR, manager and workers.
