Question

Ortiz is a manager of BRS Corp. Ortiz's division did not meet financial targets this year. Ramirez, manager of another division, has indicated that Ortiz's division incurred significant costs which resulted in Ramirez's division setting record profits for the year. As a result, performance for BRS as a whole exceeded projections. Which of the following pairings of organizational structures for BRS and bonus for Ortiz is most plausible?A. Cooperative structure; no bonus due to failure to meet divisional targetB. Competitive structure; no bonus due to failure to meet divisional targetC. Cooperative structure; a bonus for increasing organizational performanceD. Competitive structure; a bonus for increasing organizational performance

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Cooperative structure; a bonus for increasing organizational performance

Explanation:

Since apparently Ortiz's bad performance actually helped Ramirez and the whole organizational to exceed expected profits, then he should also receive a bonus for his participation in increasing the company's profits.

I'm not sure how this can happen, maybe the company operates two supermarkets and since Ortiz's supermarket operated really badly, then Ramirez's supermarket exceeded expected sales.
