A reference group tend to give a peer pressure toward someone to agree with their generally accepted behavior.
In general, people have a tendency to feel that they belong to a group in order to strengthen their social status. This tendency lead to a mindset where they think that they have to bow down to most people's opinion in order to be accepted as one of their own

Define the concept "risky behaviour" and explain two factors why it is important for youths to investigate and be knowledgeable
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: What is the concept of "risk behaviour, and why it is important for teenagers to investigate and be knowledgeable about it?

 

Risk behaviour or risky behaviour is simply behaviour that runs the risk of the person and/or those around them being hurt or damaged physically, socially or emotionally.

Teenagers investigating it? It depends on what you mean by ‘investigating’. Investigating does not have to mean trying it out. Trying out certain drugs is too risky. On the other hand, trying out mountain bike tricks may be well worthwhile if they develop their manoeuvres in a staged way, starting from the easiest and safest and working up the scale as they master the easier stages one by one.

Investigating by reading about risky things is another, perhaps initially safer means for teenagers (or anyone else mature enough) to learn about the risky behaviours they might be considering.

Another method is finding people who object to the particular risks and interviewing them as to why they do. That may help them evaluate the wisdom of taking up the particular behaviours. It may include interviewing people who have suffered negative long-term consequences of such behaviours.

They could undertake a project of the subject of the behaviours in mind and use the above methods to draw their conclusions.

However, it must be remembered that avoiding all risks of any kind would result in never extending one’s horizons and so staying cocooned in childhood, and ultimately not reaching one’s potential.

Initiating actions to boost the combined performance of the corporation's collection of businesses includes all of the following
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct option is E: "refocusing the existing businesses on new substitute product-line opportunities outside the existing industry framework."

Explanation:

To boost the combined performance of a collection of businesses from an organization needs strategic decision to be made. These decision should focus on Entering into new industries, reducing the business portfolio to eliminate some business, pursuing newer opportunities in line with the business, and in some cases a restructuring might be needed to improve the overall performance of a business. However it is not a strategic development decision to change the entire focus of the business on a new-substitute product line outside the business framework. This makes no sense as it involves a totally different approach, maybe staff, and strategy capable of causing business collapse.
