This is idiocy in middle management form! Then again, it's also a perfect manner in wich major corporations can take the responsability out of their management decisions. All else fails simply say "But the computer said it was right, and how can that be incompetent? We've got MARKET RESEARCH to back it up"
This system, no matter how perfect it is, will not work. One, the employees must be able to respect a management decision wether it's on a purchase order, an employment reference or any other form of employee resource. Two, there's the functionality of having a physical person there to make the decisions. For example, I work in a resturant, and without a manager with a tacky tie and a pack of rolaids in his pocket, customers just won't take the establishment seriously.
Can a computer tell me WHY my 3rd line cook can't get a damned T bone cooked right? Will it tell me, and then HELP me 86 a drunk customer? No. THIS is why it's a dumb idea.
