Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Each of the six components of the performance management process plays an important role. If any of these components is implemented poorly, then the entire performance management system suffers. For example, the lack of knowledge of the organization's mission and the job in question (i.e., prerequisites) will not allow performance planning (i.e., performance roadmap) to be aligned with organizational goals, thereby leading to poor performance execution. In short, a performance management system is only as good as its weakest component.

The links between the various components need to be established clearly. One example would be that performance planning needs to be closely related to performance execution. Performance planning is a futile exercise if execution does not follow from planning. The same applies to all the various components of performance management.
