Strategy
Q1.
In the context of CustoMayD Designs' strategic decision-making framework, which
decision-making model is most appropriate when the organization faces high ambiguity,
conflicting objectives, and shifting stakeholder requirements?
A. Rational decision-making model B. Bounded rationality model
C. Garbage can model D. Intuitive decision-making model
Correct: C - Garbage can model
Rationale:The garbage can model is best suited for highly ambiguous, turbulent
environments where problems, solutions, and decision-makers are fluid. Rational model
assumes clear objectives; bounded rationality still requires stable preferences; intuitive model
relies on pattern recognition, not ambiguity.
Q2.
CustoMayD Designs is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects. Project A has a net
present value (NPV) of $1.2 million and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 18%. Project B
has an NPV of $1.5 million and an IRR of 15%. The firm's cost of capital is 12%. Which
project should be selected and why?
A. Project A because higher IRR indicates B. Project B because higher NPV adds more
better return on invested capital. absolute value to the firm.
C. Project A because IRR exceeds cost of D. Project B because NPV and IRR conflict,
capital by a larger margin. and NPV is preferred for mutually exclusive
projects.
Correct: D - Project B because NPV and IRR conflict, and NPV is preferred for mutually
exclusive projects.
Rationale:For mutually exclusive projects, NPV is the theoretically correct criterion because it
measures absolute wealth creation, assuming reinvestment at the cost of capital. IRR can be
misleading due to scale and reinvestment assumptions. Therefore, Project B with higher NPV
is selected.
Q3.
CustoMayD Designs is considering entering a new market. The management team uses
scenario analysis to evaluate the decision. Which statement best captures the primary
advantage of scenario analysis over sensitivity analysis in strategic decision-making?

most critical variable affecting the outcome. changing one variable at a time.
C. Scenario analysis considers the joint D. Scenario analysis provides a probability
impact of multiple variables changing distribution of all possible outcomes.
simultaneously.
Correct: C - Scenario analysis considers the joint impact of multiple variables changing
simultaneously.
Rationale:Scenario analysis evaluates the effect of different combinations of variables,
providing a holistic view of possible futures. Sensitivity analysis changes one variable at a
time, ignoring interactions. Monte Carlo simulation, not scenario analysis, provides probability
distributions.
Q4.
CustoMayD Designs uses a balanced scorecard. Which of the following performance
measures would be classified under the 'learning and growth' perspective?
A. Percentage of revenue from new B. Employee turnover rate
products
C. On-time delivery rate D. Customer satisfaction index

Rationale:The learning and growth perspective focuses on employee capabilities, information
systems, and organizational climate. Employee turnover rate is a key metric. Revenue from
new products is innovation-related (internal process or financial), on-time delivery is internal
process, and customer satisfaction is customer perspective.
Q5.

following is a key characteristic of a strategic alliance that distinguishes it from a joint
venture?
