An organisation is earning profit but has not expanded for many years. Which organisational objective needs attention?

Correct answer: Growth

The direct answer is A, Growth. An organisation may earn profit and still remain weak if it does not increase its size, capacity, markets or future strength. Management has several organisational objectives: survival, profit and growth. Here, profit is already being earned, but expansion has stopped for many years. Therefore, the missing or neglected objective is growth. Step by step: first, profit shows that income is exceeding expenses; second, no expansion shows that the organisation is not developing further; third, expansion and capacity-building are parts of growth; therefore, option A fits best. Option A, Growth, is correct because opening new branches, entering new markets, increasing production and developing capacity show organisational growth. Option B, Only social objective, is wrong because the problem is specifically about expansion, not about serving society. Social objectives concern fair prices, good quality, environmental care and public welfare. Option C, Only employee leave, is wrong because leave is an employee-related practice, not an organisational objective explaining expansion. Option D, Only donation, is wrong because donation is only one possible social activity and cannot solve the issue of stagnation. Growth does not mean ignoring society or employees; it means developing the organisation along with its other responsibilities. Memory cue: profit keeps an organisation running, but growth helps it move forward.
