Why does policy promote similar decisions in similar situations?

Accepted Answer

Because it gives common guidance The direct answer is A: policy promotes similar decisions in similar situations because it gives common guidance. A policy does not provide a completely separate answer for every person; it establishes a broad principle that can be applied repeatedly. Reasoning: first, similar situations are identified; second, the organisation’s common policy indicates the preferred direction; third, different decision-makers apply that shared guidance; therefore their decisions become more consistent. Option A is correct because common guidance is the direct reason. Option B is wrong because removing all targets is not the function of policy; targets are usually set through objectives and plans. Option C is wrong because a policy does not stop every decision; it supports decision-making and may leave room for judgment. Option D is wrong because writing expenses is mainly a budgeting or accounting activity. Exam cue: “common guidance” explains consistency; do not confuse policy with a budget, target or prohibition.
