Question 8

A courier company starts small local pickup points for faster delivery. This is linked with which strategy?

Accepted Answer

Distribution efficiency strategy The direct answer is Option C: distribution efficiency strategy. A courier company must move parcels from collection points to sorting centres and then to customers. When it creates small local pickup points, customers travel a shorter distance to hand over parcels, collection becomes quicker, and the company can arrange routes more efficiently. This improves the distribution channel and supports faster delivery. Therefore the action is linked with distribution efficiency strategy. Option A, process method, is not the best answer because the example is mainly about where goods are collected and how they move through the delivery network, not a technical production process. Option B, office rule, is only an internal instruction and does not describe the company’s market or delivery arrangement. Option C is correct because local points improve the reach, speed, and efficiency of distribution. Option D, salary budget, concerns planned employee pay and has no direct connection with pickup locations. The key idea is to identify the business area affected: pickup points affect the distribution channel, so the relevant strategy is distribution efficiency.

Accepted Answer

Strategy The direct answer is D: strategy. A strategy is a broad direction chosen to achieve an important organisational purpose. Here, the healthcare company is not merely deciding one small work step; it is changing how the service reaches customers by offering diagnostic tests at home. The purpose is to reduce hospital visits, so the decision gives the company a new service model and direction. Option D is correct. Option A, method, usually means the specific way of carrying out a task; it is narrower than this overall direction. Option B, rule, is a compulsory instruction about what must or must not be done. Option C, budget, is a statement of expected income and expenditure, not a service choice. The home-testing decision may later require methods, rules, and a budget, but the main choice itself is a strategy. Memory cue: a major direction or new business model is usually strategy.
