Question 8

In which situation is it necessary to understand stakeholder interest before making policy?

Accepted Answer

Supplier payment policy will affect small vendors The direct answer is A, the supplier payment policy will affect small vendors. A stakeholder is a person or group affected by an organisation’s decision, such as suppliers, workers, customers or owners. Before making a payment policy, the company should understand small vendors’ interests because payment timing and conditions can affect their cash flow and survival. Option A is correct because it presents a real policy decision with a direct stakeholder impact. Option B, choosing a pen colour, is a minor routine choice and normally does not require stakeholder analysis. Option C, making a chair-cleaning method, concerns a practical procedure rather than a broad policy affecting an important group. Option D, printing one receipt, is a single clerical task, not policy design. Exam cue: when a proposed policy changes rights, costs, duties or benefits of a group, study stakeholder interests first.

Question 17

Which option correctly identifies both policy and objective?

Accepted Answer

Giving importance to customer privacy is policy and reducing complaints by 15 percent is objective The direct answer is A. A policy is a broad guideline or preferred principle, while an objective is a desired result that can often be measured. Option A correctly identifies customer privacy as a policy because it states a principle the organisation wants to follow. It correctly identifies reducing complaints by 15 percent as an objective because it gives a measurable target. Option B reverses the meanings: privacy is not a measurable result here, and a 15 percent reduction is clearly a target, not general guidance. Option C is wrong because neither statement gives ordered steps for performing a task; therefore neither is a procedure. Option D is wrong because neither statement gives a particular technique or way of working; therefore neither is a method. The reasoning is to ask two questions: “Is this guidance about conduct?”—policy; “Is this a measurable result?”—objective. Memory cue: principle is policy, percentage target is objective.
