An organization's real goals and priorities are best revealed by ________
A) its official stated goals
B) its actions in the marketplace
C) its statements to the press
D) its mission statement
Answer: B
Explanation: Mission statements, press releases, and official stated goals all include a political dimension in which an organization is telling you what it would like to want to do rather than stating its actual intentions. Therefore, the only true measure of a company's priorities are its actions, making that the correct response. For example, an organization may officially state that jobs are its main goal, but its actual hiring record would be a much better indication of its true objective than any official statement.
