Answer:

C). Firing majority workers who perform the least well.

Explanation:

An Affirmative action plan is characterized as the management tool that details of present and future course of action/procedure in order to ensure the rights of every individual on the basis of their caliber, ability, and merit irrespective of their race, gender, class, religion, disability, etc. It primarily aims to offer a fair entry to employment opportunities for all and develop a work community that reflects the demographics of a proficient and qualified workforce. Thus, 'firing majority workers who perform least well' would not be a part of this process as it offers fair access to opportunities on the basis of ability. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:

Competition-based.

Explanation:

Competition-based pricing is a strategy of adopting similar pricing to companies in the same industry. It is a method based on competitive price observation and publicly disclosed information.

This method is not fully effective, although the added benefits of simple implementation, low risk and accuracy, there may be several missed opportunities when adopting the competition-based pricing method. Copying competitors' prices may not be a good solution to maximize profits, it is a short-term solution that may not be aligned with business strategy and the value and perception of consumers about your products and services.

So there are several other variables that influence profitability, and often following a criterion of copying prices is not enough, the ideal is for each company just to orientate itself to the other and establish a pricing that justifies its strategy.
