Fisker Automotive is an American automaker based in Anaheim, California [4]. The company's first product, the Fisker Karma is the world's first luxury plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). It debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show, creating the premium green car segment in which most major manufacturers have since announced they would compete.

The Karma has a claimed total range of 300 miles (483 km), the first 50 miles (80 km) of which is on tailpipe-emission free electric-only charge. After 50 miles (80 km) a gasoline range-extending engine turns on to add an additional 250 miles (403 km) of range.

An estimated 15,000 cars per year will be assembled by Valmet Automotive in Uusikaupunki, Finland.[5] Valmet currently builds the Porsche Cayman and Boxster sports cars for Porsche AG. The contract manufacturer was selected because a suitable North American facility could not be identified.

Fisker originally intended to start selling its Karma PHEV in late 2009, but, due to funding delays[citation needed], as of October 2010 it expects to begin customer deliveries in March 2011.[6] The Karma S hardtop convertible concept unveiled at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit is planned to arrive in 2012, at an as-yet unstated price.


Benefits from Performance Management

Performance Management can motivate employees to do more than what the company expects them. It also releases the potential of employees in terms of work productivity. The main benefit of Performance Management is increased in revenue, because the workforce is motivated to achieve target goals because of promotion and incentives. You can also monitor employees who are incompetent to their work, thus, you can choose whom to promote to higher positions

Other screening techniques include employment tests and physical examinations. Some employment
tests measure aptitude, achievement, intelligence, personality and honesty. A physical examination
determines if the applicant meets the health standards and physical demands of the job.

Selecting and Hiring

If the screening process is thorough, selecting the best applicants for the job is easy. However,
before making the final selection, one last step should be taken: the top candidate's references should
be checked for accuracy and input. You should be aware of the tendency of references to give a rose-
colored picture of applicant's character and ability. Despite this potential bias, a careful check with
former employers, schools and other references can be most constructive. At a minimum, checking
can determine whether or not the applicant was truthful about his or her employment history.

Orienting New Employees to Your Business

An employee handbook communicates important information about the company to the employee.
The handbook should cover topics such as company expectations, pay policies, working conditions,
