• Question 1077:

  Which of the following management orientations is characterized by an organization's efforts to adapt the product and marketing program to each local environment?

  A. Ethnocentric.
  B. Polycentric.
  C. Geocentric.
  D. Fegiocentric.
  B. Polycentric.

  ---

  Explanation

  A polycentric attitude assumes that cultural differences require local managers to make most decisions because they are more knowledgeable about local conditions than are central administrators. Thus, development of local managerial talent is crucial. Another result is that foreign operating performance is primarily evaluated based on results. As a consequence, methods, training, and incentives vary significantly among subsidiaries. Furthermore, control is predominantly local, the firm is identified with the nationality of the host nation, and relatively little communication occurs with central administration or among subsidiaries. One disadvantage is that local operations may have inefficiencies because of duplication of activities. Another disadvantage is loss of goal congruence between local entities and the firm as a whole. Advantages are more capable and motivated local managers, better results in local markets, local development of new product ideas, and stronger support by host governments. Accordingly, the polycentric attitude adapts to each local environment.

  B. Monopoly.
  C. Monopolistic competition.

  D. Oligopoly.

  ---

  Explanation

  Price leadership is typical in oligopolistic industries. Under price leadership, price changes are announced by a major firm in the industry. Once the leader has spoken, everyone else in the industry matches the price charged by the leader.

• Question 1079:

  Management is designing its disaster recovery plan. In the event that there is significant damage to the organization's IT systems this plan should enable the organization to resume operations at a recovery site after some configuration and data restoration.

  Which of the following is the ideal solution for management in this scenario?

  A. A warm recovery plan.
  B. A cold recovery plan.
  C. A hot recovery plan.
  D. A manual work processes plan
  A. A warm recovery plan.

  ---

  Explanation

  A disaster recovery plan (DRP) ensures that an organization can restore operations after a major IT system failure . The level of readiness depends on the type of recovery site used:

  Correct Answer (A - A Warm Recovery Plan)

  A warm site is a partially configured recovery site with some hardware and network infrastructure in place.

  In the event of a disaster, some configuration and data restoration are required before full operation can resume.

  This solution balances cost and recovery speed , making it ideal for moderate-risk scenarios .

  The IIA GTAG 10: Business Continuity Management discusses warm sites as an effective disaster recovery solution.

  Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

  Option B (A Cold Recovery Plan):

  A cold site has minimal infrastructure and requires significant time for setup and data restoration .

  This is not ideal for organizations needing faster recovery .

  Option C (A Hot Recovery Plan):

  A hot site is a fully operational backup system that allows instant recovery , but it is very costly .

  The scenario mentions "some configuration and data restoration", which suggests a warm site, not a hot site .

  Option D (A Manual Work Processes Plan):

  A manual plan involves non-IT solutions , which would not address IT system restoration.

  IIA GTAG 10: Business Continuity Management - Describes warm, cold, and hot sites for disaster recovery.

  IIA Practice Guide: Auditing Business Continuity Plans- Recommends warm recovery sites for balancing cost and recovery time.

  Step-by-Step Explanation:IIA References for Validation:Thus, A is the correct answer because a warm recovery plan allows partial system readiness with minimal downtime.
