What is Perception?
In social psychology, the term person perception refers to the different mental processes that we use to form impressions of other people. This includes not just how we form these impressions, but the different conclusions we make about other people based upon our impressions.

Right perception is very important for an individual one reaction to things, people and happenings based on one perception.

 In an organizations it is important for the employees to have a positive perception about their jobs and the managers have a right perception about their employees. The judgment has to be unbiased or else both the individual and organizations may become victim of their prejudices. At a time manager have to take decision about their sub-ordinates.

Highlights of case
The case is about the company Hermes-Nakata Finance company. They have to hire some new recruit for the managerial position. All new recruit have different perception about their work and their colleagues. Their attitude towards their job and their portfolio is also very different. After some months some of the new entrants got termination letter from the company. So we have to find is their judgment correct about new recruit or they forget to consider any other factor to get into a hasty judgment.

Mr. Dhoot
Mr. Dhoot was working as a senior manager in the company
He wanted to make consumer finance division the best in the company portfolio with the help of the new recruit.

He is from middle class family worked hard and dreamed big.

He appointed as senior manager in 2007 he took over head of that division. He was in Tamil Nadu for the expansion as a part of company expansion plans of south Indian states. In his absence Mr. Arun Shrivastav senior divisional manager will take the new recruit through the induction program.

The training was carried out by very experience person Vikrant, who had been with the company right from the starting.
