Question

Stephanie's responsibility report includes the salary and benefits of her secretary. Although Stephanie prepares a performance evaluation for the secretary each year, Stephanie's superior determines how much the secretary will be paid. This example is an illustration of the fact that:a. Responsibility reporting systems are not perfect. b. Managers sometimes are held responsible for items over which they have only limited control. c. Control may be shared. d. All of these are correct answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. All of these are correct answers.

Explanation:

The answer is that all of these are correct answers because:

-Responsibility reporting systems are not perfect as shown in the statement in which Stephanie is the person that prepares her secretary's evaluation but her superior is the one that determines the amount that she will be paid.

-Managers sometimes are held responsible for items over which they have only limited control because sometimes managers have to perform tasks in which they don't have total freedom to make decisions like in this case in which Stephanie performs the evaluation but she is not able to decide the amount to be paid to her secretary based on the results.

-Control may be shared as in organizations it is common that there are different controls  to make sure everything is according to the rules and in this case, Stephanie and her superior share control on this matter.
