Question

One reason a long-tenured top-level manager may hesitate to conclude the firm's structure is a problem is that doing so: a. suggests that the firm's previous choices were not the best ones. b. will only lead to inefficiencies. c. indicates to competitors that the firm is vulnerable to a hostile takeover. d. requires that the firm undertake a multi-year restructuring period that will delay retirement.

Answer 1

Answer: suggests that the firm's previous choices were not the best ones.

Explanation: For a long-tenured top-level manager to make such proclamation, shows the inefficiencies of the firm which he is a part of. He obviously has been with the firm for a very long time and making that proclamation will also be a dent in his image as a manager.
