Question 7

Policy best answers which question?

Accepted Answer

In which general direction should a decision be taken The direct answer is A: policy best answers, “In which general direction should a decision be taken?” A policy is a broad statement that guides repeated decisions. It tells employees the preferred approach but usually permits judgment according to the facts of each case. Reasoning step by step: a decision is required; the policy supplies a common direction; the person responsible applies that direction to the actual situation. Option A is correct because general decision direction is the central meaning of policy. Option B asks how much money will be spent, which is a budget question. Option C asks the order in which every stage will occur, which describes a procedure or method. Option D asks about a machine technique, which is a technical or operational matter, not the general policy question. Do not choose an option merely because it sounds like planning; identify the exact function. Memory cue: policy answers “which way?”, procedure answers “in what order?”, and budget answers “how much money?”

Question 11

When can confusion between policy and strategy occur?

Accepted Answer

When general decision guidance is understood as market direction A policy and a strategy both guide organisational decisions, but they operate at different levels. A policy is a broad, recurring guideline that helps people decide how to act in usual situations. A strategy is a long-term, competitive direction chosen to achieve important objectives in relation to the external environment, such as customers, competitors, or markets. Confusion can arise when a general statement about decision-making is treated as if it were the organisation’s market or competitive direction.

Option A expresses this possible confusion correctly. An expense amount is mainly a financial figure and may belong to a budget, not necessarily to the policy-strategy distinction. A statement about machine technique concerns an operating method or technology. A written order of steps describes a procedure. The deciding test is whether the statement gives routine guidance or sets a broad competitive course. Policy guides recurring choices; strategy determines where and how the organisation will compete.

Question 23

An insurance company says documents and customer's actual situation will both be considered in claim cases. What is this?

Accepted Answer

Policy A policy is a broad guideline that helps managers make decisions in recurring situations. It does not usually prescribe one exact sequence of steps, nor does it simply command that something must or must not be done. Instead, it provides a general area of judgment while allowing the decision-maker to consider relevant circumstances.

Option C is correct because the insurer gives a guiding basis for deciding claims: both the documents and the customer’s actual situation should be considered. This leaves room for judgment in individual cases. A procedure would describe an ordered process, a rule would be an inflexible instruction, and a method would describe a particular way of performing a task. The statement is therefore a policy.
